FLEXIBLE BEARING FOR A CONVEYOR ROLLER CAPABLE OF BEING INCORPORATED IN A ROLLING PLANE

摘要

A conveyor roller bearing which supports the center of the roller through a flexible structure. The latter comprises two branches of a spring wire which have two lateral coaxial portions inserted in the roller on each side of the latter. The branches have lower end portions anchored in the bottom of a fork-shaped support. The branches are arcuate and have a concavity facing in the direction of the destination of the objects which pass over the roller. Oblique lateral abutments on the lateral walls of the support enable an additional force of compression to be applied to the arcuate branches.
