Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A shaft support (22) for supporting a shaft end (16b, 18b) of a conveyor roller (16, 18) is pivotable about an axis extending generally along the direction of conveyance of a conveyor (10), such that the support may pivot to accommodate a change in vertical positioning of one or both ends of the roll er (16, 18). The shaft support may also be pivotable about a generally vertical axis in order to also accommodate skewed rollers mounted at an angle not perpendicular to the direction of conveyance. Because the shaft support is pivotable about the axis extending in the direction of conveyance, the shaft support simplifies the installation and removal of the motorized roller, whi le providing for a roller that does not require a spring loaded shaft or axle. The roller may thus be a low cost roller which may be easily installed and removed from the conveyor.
