Abstract

In one aspect, a roller conveyor gap blocker is provided that includes a body configured to be supported in a gap by upstream and downstream rollers. The body has a plurality of laterally spaced upstream lower members with laterally aligned, upstream lower free end portions. At least one of the upstream lower free end portions has an upstream recessed portion that is above a lowermost end of one of the other laterally aligned, upstream lower free end portions to provide clearance for a drive member. The body has a plurality of laterally spaced downstream lower members of the body with laterally aligned, downstream lower free end portions. At least one of the downstream lower free end portions has a downstream recessed portion that is above a lowermost end of one of the other laterally aligned, downstream lower free end portions to provide clearance for the drive member.
