cylinder 23 is articulatedly fastened by way of an end pointing toward the running gear 12 to the pivoting means 21 and by way of the opposite end to an edge of the longitudinal conveyor 17 by virtue of the hydraulic cylinders 23 being retracted and extended in the same direction the inclination of the longitudinal conveyor 17 relative to the pivoting means 21 can be varied in opposite directions whereby the height of the offloading end 18 of the continuous conveyor 19 relative to the underlying surface 24 on which the feeding appliance can travel can be varied the longitudinal conveyor 17 is mounted on the coupling means 20 pivotably about a vertical pivot axis 25 by way of the pivoting means 21 two opposite pressure medium cylinders in particular hydraulic cylinders 26 are arranged on opposite sides between the coupling means 20 and the pivoting means 21 the hydraulic cylinders 26 are articulatedly fastened at one side to the coupling means 20 and at the other side to the pivoting means 21 by virtue of the two hydraulic cylinders 26 being retracted and extended in opposite directions the longitudinal conveyor 17 is pivoted together with the pivoting means 21 about the vertical pivot axis 25 for example in order to position the offloading end 18 of the longitudinal conveyor 17 over the storage containers of different road finishing machines travelling adjacent one another and to thus enable material for.
