A method of dampening the transmittal of vibrations from a conveyor roller by providing a flexible connection means in the shaft support.
Claims20
A shaft support for supporting at least one end of a shaft of a roller, comprising:
- (a) spaced first and second support means;
- (b) flexible connection means for connecting said first and second support means and permitting limited rotation therebetween;
- (c) said first support means including means to capture said end of said shaft.
A shaft support for supporting at least one end of a shaft of a roller comprising spaced first and second support means;
- flexible connection means for connecting said first and second support means;
- said first support means including means to capture each end of said shaft wherein said second support means includes holes for receiving fastening means to fasten said shaft support to a conveyor roller assembly.
A roller shaft support for supporting at least one end of a conveyor roller, at a conveyor having a frame, comprising:
- (a) a first supporting means spaced from a second stationary support means;
- (b) flexible connection means for connecting said first and second support means;
- and
- (c) said first support means including means to receive said one end of a conveyor roller.
A roller shaft support for supporting at least one end of a conveyor roller at a conveyor having a frame comprising spaced first and second support means;
- flexible connection means for connecting said first and second support means;
- said first support means including means to receive said one end of a conveyor roller wherein said second support means has fastening means for fastening said roller shaft support to said frame.
A method of dampening the transmittal of vibrations from a conveyor roller to a conveyor assembly by providing flexible connection means between said conveyor roller and said conveyor assembly, said flexible connection means fixedly secured to said conveyor assembly.
A method of dampening the transmittal of vibrations from a conveyor roller to a conveyor assembly by providing flexible connection means between said conveyor roller and said conveyor assembly, wherein said flexible connection means is carried by a roller shaft support;
- said roller shaft support comprises of spaced first and second support means;
- and said first support means has an aperture adapted to receive an end of said conveyor roller to support said conveyor roller wherein said conveyor assembly includes a frame;
- and wherein said second support means is adapted to be fastened to said frame to connect said roller shaft support to said conveyor assembly.
