The first (38) and second side (36) member define first and second pin orifices (50,52), respectively. A center roller (26) is disposed between the side members. The center roller defines a shaft orifice (26b) therethrough. A shaft (30) extends through the shaft orifice. A first shaft (30a) end is disposed proximate the first side member, and the second shaft end (30b) is disposed proximate the second side member. The second shaft end defines a shaft bore (82) therein. The first shaft end defines a pin chamber (84) therein. The shaft bore being is substantially concentric with and intersects the pin chamber. A locking pin assembly (22) is disposed partially within the shaft bore, the pin chamber and at least one of the pin orifices. The locking pin assembly has a first position wherein the shaft is decoupled from the body and a second position wherein the shaft is coupled to the body, and is switchable between the first and second positions.<img id="" file="00000001.TIF" he="68" wi="89" img-content="drawing" img-format="tif" orientation="portrait" inline="no"/></p></abstract><search-report-data id="srep" lang="en" srep-office="EP" date-produced=""><doc-page id="srep0001" file="90000001.TIF" he="231" wi="159" type="tif"/><doc-page id="srep0002" file="90010001.TIF" he="230" wi="155" type="tif"/><doc-page id="srep0003" file="90020001.TIF" he="230" wi="160" type="tif"/></search-report-data></ep-patent-document>
