Loading bridge for air cargo loading

An air cargo conveying loading bridge for conveying air cargo that connects an airport terminal with a cargo loading/unloading door of an aircraft, comprising:

• a plurality of cargo conveyor lines, at least one of which is extendable and retractable;
• and
• a cargo conveyor junction that joins said plurality of cargo conveyor lines, which by rotating a conveying surface or by changing the angle of the surface, diverts the conveying direction of the cargo riding on said cargo conveyor line from one cargo conveyor line to a designated one of said plurality of cargo conveyor lines;
• wherein
• said at least one extendable and retractable cargo conveyor comprises a central conveyor unit having a transport conveyor, and end conveyor units which are slidably joined to said central conveyor unit at each of its ends, and which includes a mechanism that maintains an approximately flat transport surface for the cargo between said end conveyor units and said central conveyor unit.

• wherein
• said cargo conveyor junction is round shaped, and comprises a carousel having a plurality of cargo loading carousel plates which move in a circular path, and said carousel receives cargo from said cargo conveyor line and places the cargo on said loading carousel plates moving in a circular path, and forwards the cargo to the designated cargo conveyor line;
• and
• said at least one extendable and retractable cargo conveyor line comprises a central conveyor unit having a transport conveyor, and end conveyor units which are slidably joined to said central conveyor unit at each of its ends, and which includes a mechanism that maintains an approximately flat transport surface for the cargo between said end conveyor units and said central conveyor unit.
