Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved roll support spindle and has been devised particularly though not solely for the support of rolls of continuous material during any process requiring rotation of the roll.
- a roll of continuous sheet material such as paper or sheet plastics material, either for dispensing of material from the roll or for winding material onto the roll.
- Such rolls commonly have hollow tubular cores formed, for example, from cardboard or plastics or metal tubing and are generally supported for rotation on a spindle in the apparatus concerned.
- the roll is supported on the spindle in a number of different ways depending on the application.
- the spindle may be provided with cones at either end thereof, one cone being fixed and the other cone being axially movable to support the roll between the cones in a wedging action and centralise the roll on the spindle.
- spindle has been provided with a plurality of longitudinal slats having studs protruding inwardly therefrom through the wall of the spindle to a central actuating device adapted to move the slats outwardly and hence increase the circumference of the spindle to lock a roll core thereon.
- the invention consists in a roll support spindle comprising a hollow tubular axle adapted to be rotatably supported by suitable bearings, end plugs at or toward either end of the axle forming a fluid-tight chamber therein, a plurality of apertures in the tubular wall of the axle between the end plugs, an elastomeric membrane over at least part of the interior wall of the hollow tubular axle covering and sealing the apertures, and fluid supply means adapted to pressurise the interior of the hollow tubular axle causing the elastomeric membrane to bulge outwardly through the apertures.
- the elastomeric membrane is formed by rotational casting of an elastomeric material and covers the entire surface of the interior wall of the hollow tubular axle between the end plugs.
- the elastomeric membrane fills the apertures in the tubular wall, finishing substantially flush with the exterior surface of the tubular axle when the interior of the hollow tubular axle is not pressurised,
- the fluid supply means comprise an air supply and release valve in one of the end plugs.
- Fig. 1 is a longitudinal cross-section through a roll support spindle according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a transverse cross-section on the line B-B of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a longitudinal cross-section of the spindle shown in Fig. 1 with a roll core mounted thereon;
- Fig. 4 is a transverse cross-section on the line A-A of Fig. 3. MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the preferred form of the invention a short roll
- spindle adapted to be cantilevered from a single set of bearings is constructed as follows, although it 5 will be appreciated that the spindle may be made of any desired length and may be supported by bearings. at either end thereof.
- the roll support spindle comprises a hollow tubular axle 1 in which is inserted end plugs 2 and 3.
- the end 10 plugs form a fluid-tight chamber 4 within the hollow tubular axle.
- the roll support spindle is adapted to be rotatable supported by suitable bearings and is conveniently provided with a journal 5 which may form an extension of the end plug 3.
- a journal 5 which may form an extension of the end plug 3.
- any other 15 suitable form of bearing support may be provided.
- a plurality of apertures 6 are formed in the circumferential wall of the hollow tubular axle, equispaced around the circumference of the axle.
- the apertures may take any suitable configuration such as the 20 axially elongate, or circular apertures shown in the accompanying drawings.
- An elastomeric membrane is formed over at least part of the interior wall of the hollow tubular axle, covering and sealing the apertures 6.
- the elastomeric membrane covers the entire surface of the interior wall of the hollow tubular axle between the end plugs 2 and 3 and fills the apertures 6, finishing flush with the exterior surface of the tubular axle as can be seen at 8.
- the elastomeric membrane may be 30 formed from any suitable material and in any suitable manner, but in the preferred form of the invention is formed by rotational casting from polyurethane within the tubular axle.
- the end plug 2 is provided with fluid supply means 35 adapted to pressurise the interior of the hollow tubular axle causing the elastomeric membrane 7 to bulge outwardly through the apertures.
- the fluid supply means comprises an air supply and release valve 9 axially located in the end plug 2.
- the roll core 10 (Fig. 3) is engaged over the spindle until it is positioned in the desired axial location. Compressed air is then supplied under pressure through the valve 9 into the interior chamber 4 causing the elastomeric membrane 7 to bulge outwardly through the apertures 6 as shown at 11. These bulges of elastomeric material automatically centralise the roll core 10 on the spindle and securely hold the roll core locked tightly in place on the spindle ready for rotation.
