  • Patent number: 4941229
    Abstract: An upwardly open, rectangular, box-like casing mounts interiorly a hollow, perforated cylindrical roller assembly for rotation about its axis, positioned horizontally between longitudinally opposed end walls. A drive motor mounted to the casing has a shaft projecting outwardly of a casing end wall with a pully fixed thereto. The axle of the hollow, perforated cylindrical roller assembly has fixed thereto a similar driven pulley. An elastic belt is leaved about respective pulleys such that the hollow, perforated cylindrical roller assembly may be driven by the electric drive motor. The roller assembly includes a hollow tube slidably mounted on the axle and selectively fixed thereto through a set screw to facilitate by removal of the axle, disassembly of the hollow, perforated cylindrical roller assembly from the casing to facilitate cleaning of the casing and the roller assembly.
