Roller cradle and modular conveying assembly with a roller cradle

"Roller cradle for use in a modular set of transport, and modular set of transport to carry an object in one direction of displacement." a modular transport assembly for transporting an object. the assembly includes a plurality of chain modules assembled in a relationship edge to edge to form a continuous belt. at least one hinge pin together the adjacent chain modules, and pivotally connects the adjacent modules so in the direction of belt travel. at least one cradle adjacent at least one module is fastened at least one pin. a roller is supported by a cradle, and in one embodiment, is able to engage with the object to reduce friction between the belt and the object. in one embodiment, the cradle includes a first half including a first hinge element. a second half including a second hinge element is spaced from the first hinge element and defines a space between them. a rod extending between the first and second halves through the space defined by the first and second hinge elements.
