Abstract

A rubber covered roll is made of three parts (8, 6, 10). The center rubber part (6) has a lesser durometer reading than the two end rubber parts (8, 10). The three rubber parts of the roll are placed on an arbor (2) and maintained under pressure while the two end parts are vulcanized to the center part; at the same time the composite vulcanized three-part rubber structure is bonded to the arbor. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Method of making a roll The invention is directed to a method of making a rubber covered roll.
Cylindrical devices having regions of differing hardness have been proposed. For example, in U.S Patent No. 3,666,335 there is disclosed a bushing with a central rubber coating having two ends of a greater hardness. These ends are either press fitted or cemented onto a supporting sleeve. U.S. Patent No. 1,919,375 discloses a rubber bearing structure having an inner hard rubber composition and an outer soft rubber composition. U.S. Patent No. 3,118,710 discloses a resilient joint having an inner rubber member and two outer plastic members.
There remains a need for an effective method of making such a device in which the end regions are of a different hardness from that of the central regions, especially where the device is to form a unitary structure.
The present invention is directed to a method of making a rubber-covered roll comprising a central rubber covering on an arbor and outer rubber coverings on each end of the arbor. The central rubber covering is of a lesser durometer reading than the two end coverings.
The present invention provides a method of making a rubber covered roll, comprising (a) positioning a rubber covering of a first durometer hardness on the central region, and rubber coverings of higher durometer hardness than the first on each end region, of an arbor, the surface of the arbor contacting the coverings having a coating of adhesive thereon, (b) applying pressure to the end coverings to force all the coverings into initimate contact, and (c) subjecting the rubber covered arbor to heat to vulcanize the end coverings to the central covering and bond the composite rubber covering to the arbor.
The adhesive used to bond the rubber coverings is conveniently heat-activated. Many such adhesives are known; the arbor is conventionally a metal shaft and a number of different adhesives are available for bonding rubber to metal.
The hardnesses of the rubber are not critical to the invention; a typical hardness for the central covering is a (Shore A) durometer reading of 65 and for the outer coverings a reading of 85.
Examples of suitable compositions for the rubber coverings are described in detail in U.S. Patent No. 3,505,267, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, and to which the reader is referred for full information. Briefly, there may be used an NBR rubber containing normally 25 to 40% acrylonitrile with a reinforcing filler, e.g., carbon black, softeners and other customary additives and a sulfur-containing curing system, the proportions of the relevant ingredients being chosen to give the desired durometer reading in the vulcanized product. Other compositions suitable for use in the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, as will the measures needed to achieve appropriate differences in hardness.
One form of arbor with a rubber covering constructed in accordance with the invention will now be described in greater detail by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawing which is a cross-section of such an arbor.
Referring now to the drawing, in one embodiment of the method according to the invention there is provided an arbor 2 which is to be covered with a rubber covering. The arbor is initially covered with a glue coating 4 which will ultimately bond the rubber covering to the arbor. The glue is a heat activated glue and is conventional in the art. The first rubber material 6 is placed over the central region of the arbor 2; this material has a durometer reading of 65. An end cap 5 is placed on each end of the arbor and bolted thereto by bolts 3. It will cover almost all of the end of the rubber material 6 except for the surface 7, the outer annulus thereof. The second and third rubber coverings are then placed over the arbor at each end of the rubber covering 6.These rubber coverings 8 and 10 are generally of a greater hardness than the rubber covering 6; in this embodiment, they have a durometer reading of 85. Pressure is applied in the direction of the arrows 1 2 by the end caps 11 to hold the three rubber coverings in an intimate contact, particularly at their ends at surface 7. The complete rubber covered arbor is wrapped with nylon tape 14 to apply pressure to the rubber coverings 6, 8 and 1 0. While the pressure is maintained, the total structure is subjected to heat to vulcanize the second and third rubber coverings to the end portion 7 of the first rubber covering.
Vulcanization is carried out by heating the assembly to 305"F (about 150"C) for 1-3/4 hours. At the same time, the heat activated glue 4 will bond the resulting composite structure of rubber material to the arbor. The composite rubber structure is in effect the vulcanized together two hard end members 8 and 10 and soft rubber center section 6.
The rubber coverings 6, 8 and 10 are conventional rubber compounds; they should merely be of different hardnesses and be capable of being vulcanized. As indicated above, typical compounds used are those set forth in U.S. Patent No. 3,505,267.
