Abstract

An apparatus for circumnavigating a dispenser about a pipe includes a frame carrying a pair of endless belts locateable on the pipe and carrying the dispenser. The belt carrying frame is hinged to a semi-circular frame, together to encircle the pipe. A locking assembly interconnects the belt carrying and semi-circular frames to secure the frames to the pipe, and a motor on the dispenser carrying frame rotates the endless belts to propel the frames and dispenser around the pipe.
