Abstract
The bottom of a lint feeder housing is manufactured such that the high speed belt which it houses is quickly and easily changed. The bottom of the housing is lowered after loosening the four hinged thumb bolts which secure the bottom to the housing. After the bottom is lowered, the axles which support conveyor rollers are lowered a little on one side. The worn belt is removed and a new belt is slipped between the axles and the frame of the housing then over the rollers. Once the new belt is in place, the axles are raised and the bearing housings are fixed to the feed housing. Finally, the bottom of the housing is raised and secured in place.
