ABSTRACT:
A roller cage assembly for use with a support rod is described. The roller cage assembly has a roller sleeve, a pair of end hub members, and a tube for use with a support rod. Each end hub member has an inner hub, an outer hub, a cavity, and a keeper. Each cavity receives and allows rotational movement of a corresponding keeper. Each cavity has a slightly reduced outer aperture defined by an annular tab to facilitate rotational movement of the keeper. Each keeper has a passage for receiving the support rod, an expandable gap for securing the support rod, and slip ridges to facilitate rotational movement of the keeper. Each keeper also typically has a joined slit membrane for maintaining a substantially constant degree of tension on the support rod. The tube is connected between the inner hub of each end hub member, and the roller sleeve is connected between the outer hub of each end hub member. The roller sleeve, each end hub member, and the tube form an integral unit and are arranged to define a sealed inner cavity, whereby liquid transfer into the inner cavity is substantially prevented.
