Abstract
A return roller battery has a plurality of idler rollers rotatably attached at either end to opposing mounting plates. The mounting plates are rotatably attached to a conveyor belt frame and selectively rotated by a crank mechanism to position one of the idler rollers beneath the conveyor belt to support the belt. A locking mechanism secures the mounting plates against rotation when an idler roller is in position.
