This invention relates to a roller mounting system for use in a table (10) for conveying articles of manufacture through a production line. The mounting system includes a split frame for supporting a roller (22) defining a generally horizontal path of travel along an upper surface of the roller table. The frame includes a fixed lower portion (30) connected to a structural member (34) of theroller table, an upper portion (32) adapted for longitudinal and vertical movement relative to the lower portion, means for shifting the upper portion between an operating and a retracted position and means for locking the upper portion to the lower portion when the upper portion is in the operating position. The upper portion includes a pair of spaced runners (40) and blocks (56) and (58). The lower portion includes a similar pair of spaced runners (44) for supporting the upper runners, a block (62) having a stop surface (92) and a movable block (72) for shifting upper portion (32). Movable block (72) is coupled to a block (70) bolted to a lower mounting plate (42). Each upper runner (40) includes a riser (46) and each lower runner includes a riser (48). When block (72) is operated to shift upper portion (32) sufficiently to clear the risers, a defective or inoperative roller can be moved from the operating position to a retracted position so that the roller can not damage the articles.
