Abstract

A support for a conveyor shaft having a plurality of rollers mounted thereon. The support snaps onto the shaft between two of the rollers. The support projects downwardly below the rollers, and is spaced above a support surface. Excessive weight on the shaft will cause the shaft to bow or bend downwardly and the support will then engage the support surface to resist further bowing of the shaft. The support extends perpendicularly to the shaft to support similarly a plurality of shafts.
