ABSTRACT:
The conveyor system of the present invention provides an endless belt system in which roller assemblies are aligned side by side in rows beneath the upper surface of the endless belt. Each individual roller assembly is provided with a roller and an axis about which the roller rotates. The roller assemblies are disposed in support members by lowering them into a receiving region in the support members. The receiving region is adapted to removably receive the roller assembles when the roller assemblies are lowered into the receiving region at any angle within a ninety degree range to prevent jamming of the assembly during insertion. The support members rotationally immobilize and retain the axis of the roller assembly while simultaneously providing structural integrity to the conveyor system. The roller shaft is maintained within the support member both by gravity acting upon the roller assembly itself and by the weight of the belt resting upon the roller assembly. The support members are transversely aligned within the frame of the conveyor system to provide rows of removably received roller assemblies. The rollers preferably are further aligned in a longitudinally staggered arrangement.
