Abstract: The connecting belt bridge provided with the feed end side and the discharge side end each supported on their respective travelling means, the discharge side travelling means including a travelling unit which is not railbound, the connecting belt bridge being pivotally supported on the discharge side travelling means about a vertical as well as a horizontal axis and on the feed side travelling means by a longitudinally displaceable single point support including a support beam which can be horizontally aligned and has at its feed side end a feed jib hinged on by way of a horizontal transverse axis.

Abstract: A connection conveyor belt device for conveying overburden or other bulk material between a belt conveyor system and a boom stacker which is coupled with the connection belt device, which has a bridge and an undercarriage. The connection conveyor device can be uncoupled from the stacker, and the bridge thereof is displaceably supported on the undercarriage by supporting means in such a way that the supporting point can occupy every position of the range which extends approximately from the center of gravity to the receiving end of the bridge, and that the bridge is securable against tilting in the center of gravity position.
