Abstract
An improved multiple-roller conveyor having a support for objects located between adjacent shafts. The support snaps onto the shafts between rollers mounted upon the shafts. The support extends between the shafts and extends upwardly less than the rollers mounted on the shafts. Small objects being conveyed along the tops of the rollers may fall over due to the spaces between the tops of adjacent rollers. The support prevents the bottoms of the objects from dipping too much into the spaces between the rollers, and thereby keeps the objects from falling over.
