ABSTRACT:
An automatically tiltable small roller structure, which comprises a shaft, a small roller including an elastic rubber cylinder and a sleeve, and a plurality of bearing balls. The sleeve is integral with the inner periphery of the elastic rubber cylinder, and mainly composed of polytetrafluoroethylene (fluoroplastics). The shaft is fitted in the roller structure. The bearing balls are fitted in a circumferential or annular groove formed on the shaft, and are provided such that they are in rolling contact with the inner periphery of the roller and the outer periphery of the shaft in the groove. The groove is provided at a middle point between the opposite ends of the roller. The depth of the groove is set such that the bearing balls project slightly from the groove, so that a slight gap is formed between the inner periphery of the roller and the outer periphery of the shaft. The axes of the roller and shaft are thus slightly tiltable in relation to each other.
