- FIG. 1 a
- the protective insert 100 is ring shaped and comprises a sleeve 102 , a flange 104 and first engagement means 106 , 108 comprising a pin 106 on a first flange portion 104 a and a slot 108 on a second flange portion 104 b .
- the slot 108 comprises a wider slot section 108 a for insertion of the pin 106 , and a narrower slot section 108 b for engaging the pin 106 .
- the slot 108 has a curved shape which substantially corresponds to the curvature of the flange 104 . As shown in FIG.
- the narrower slot section 108 b comprises an elevated slot edge section 108 c which is elevated sufficiently to accommodate the pin end portion 106 b in the space between the underside of the elevated slot edge section 108 c and the underside of the flange 102 .
- the wider slot section 108 a may be asymmetric and be wider in the area close to the inner circumference of the flange 104 to further facilitate the insertion of the pin 106 .
- the pin 106 extends on the under side of a first flange portion 104 a .
- the first engagement means 106 , 108 contributes to the diameter of the protective insert 100 being able to be adjusted.
- the protective insert 100 is open, i.e. there is a distance 122 between a first sleeve portion 102 a and a second sleeve portion 102 b and between first and second flange portions 104 a and 104 b , when the protective insert 100 is not mounted or otherwise affected by external forces. Due to the engagement means the protective insert 100 can easily be brought from an open position to a closed position while permitting easy adjustment of the diameter and enabling a secure fastening towards the inner surface of a centre aperture or eye of an object, e.g. a roll of sheet steel, sheet aluminium or paper. When the protective insert 100 is in a closed position it can also easily be opened. That the protective insert 100 is open when it is not mounted contributes to the force that the protective insert 100 exerts outwards when it is mounted. That the protective insert 100 is manufactured of plastic also contributes to said force since it contributes to the protective insert 100 being resilient.
- the sleeve 102 and the flange 104 are arranged at an angle, called flange angle 120 , of approximately 90 degrees to each other, advantageously the angle is somewhat smaller than 90 degrees.
- the angle is measured as shown in FIG. 1 b .
- Said angle may be in the interval 83-95 degrees, more advantageously 85-90 degrees and most advantageously 87-90 degrees.
- the pin 106 comprises a pin start portion 106 a and a pin end portion 106 b and the pin end portion 106 b is advantageously T-shaped as shown in FIG. 1 c .
- the first engagement means 106 , 108 secures the first and second sleeve portions 102 a and 102 b , or the first and second flange portions 104 a , 104 b , of the protective insert 100 and prevents axial and/or radial displacement, advantageously axial and radial displacement, of said portions.
- the overall design of the slot 108 and pin 106 is one factor contributing to the ability of the first engagement means 106 , 108 to prevent displacement.
- the width of the pin start portion 106 a is substantially equal to the width of the narrower second slot section 108 b .
- the width of the pin start portion 106 a is not exactly equal to the width of the narrower second slot section 108 b since this would make it difficult to slide or move the pin 106 in the narrower second slot section 108 b .
- the width of the pin start portion 106 a is slightly smaller than the width of the narrower second slot section 108 b to facilitate movement of the pin 106 .
- the length of the pin start portion 106 a there is a precise dimensioning of the length of the pin start portion 106 a , so that the upper surface 106 c of the pin end portion 106 b , is in contact with the surface on the under side of the elevated slot edge section 108 c surrounding slot 108 , when pin 106 and slot 108 are engaged.
- This is one factor contributing to the ability of the first engagement means 106 , 108 to prevent axial displacement between the adjacent sleeve portions 102 a , 102 b and/or the adjacent flange portions 104 a , 104 b.
- second engagement means 110 in the form of a snap and ratchet mechanism comprising at least one first ridge or notch 110 a and at least one, advantageously several, second ridges 110 b .
- the second engagement means 110 enables the adjustment of the diameter of the protective insert 100 to a desired diameter and to lock the protective insert 100 in that diameter.
- several second ridges 110 b are provided on a part of the inner surface of the second sleeve portion 102 b and extend radially.
- the second ridges 110 b cover an area extending circumferentially substantially from the edge of the second sleeve portion 102 b .
- One or more first ridges or notches 110 a are provided on a part of the outer surface of the first sleeve portion 102 a and extends radially. If there are more than one first ridge or notch 110 a , they cover an area extending circumferentially substantially from the edge of the first sleeve portion 102 a . If more than one first ridge or notch 110 a is provided the securing action of the second engagement means 110 may be increased. I FIG. 1 a the first ridges or notches 110 a are not visible but in FIG. 3 c one first ridge or notch 110 a is shown.
- Second ridges 110 b and first ridges or notches 110 a may have substantially the same shape. But the at least one first ridge or notch 110 a basically may have any shape as long as it can engage in locking interaction with the second ridges 110 b.
- the surfaces 110 s may e.g. have different inclinations. If the surfaces 110 s are inclined as in FIG. 1 d the ability of the second engagement means 110 to prevent circumferential displacement in the direction opposite of the arrow 110 c is increased, as compared to the shape shown in FIG. 1 e .
- the arrow points towards the edge of the second sleeve portion 102 b .
- a symmetrical shape of the ridges as shown in FIG. 1 e , provides equally good prevention of circumferential displacement in both directions, the direction of the arrow and the opposite direction.
- the resilient properties of the protective insert 100 contributes to the presence of a snap action when the respective ridges 110 a and 110 b engage.
- the second engagement means 110 mainly prevents circumferential displacement between the first and second sleeve portions 102 a and 102 b and/or the first and second flange portions 104 a and 104 b.
- Both the first engagement means 106 , 108 and the second engagement means 110 contribute to the advantageous handing and mounting properties of the protective insert 100 .
- the protective insert 100 is easily mounted in openings having, within a reasonable interval, different inner diameters and sits securely when mounted.
- the protective insert 100 may be provided with both first engagement means 106 , 108 and second engagement means 110 or one of these engaging means.
- Providing the protective insert 100 with both first and second engaging means results in an synergistic effect and provides a stable connection of the adjacent sleeve and flange portions in axial, circumferential, and advantageously also radial, direction of the protective insert 100 , and ensures that the protective insert 100 exerts a certain force against the inner surface 404 of the hollow core in which it is mounted.
- One synergistic effect is e.g. that the securing action of the second engagement means 110 is enhanced by the locking action of the first engagement means 106 , 108 .
- the ridges 110 a and 110 b of the second engagement means 110 stay substantially parallel to each other and substantially the entire surfaces of the respective ridges 110 a and 110 b are in contact with each other.
- the first engagement means 106 , 108 also prevents radial displacement which prevents the respective ridges 110 a and 110 b from displacement in the radial direction and keeps them in close contact so they can efficiently prevent circumferential displacement of the sleeve and flange portions.
- the flange 104 may extend outwards from the sleeve inner circumference 102 g , from the sleeve outer circumference 102 h , or from any point there between.
- the difference or distance between the sleeve inner circumference 102 g and the sleeve outer circumference 102 h depends on the material thickness of the sleeve 102 .
- the flange 104 and/or the sleeve 102 may be provided with one or more ridges 112 a , 112 b . These ridges contribute to the ability of the protective insert 100 to protect the annular side surface 402 , the inner surface 404 of the hollow core and the edge 406 of e.g. a roll of sheet steel.
- the ridges 112 may extend in a circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 1 , or in a radial direction (not shown). The embodiment with ridges on the sleeve 102 is not illustrated.
- the ridges 112 can deflect inwardly under pressure, and thus can act as buffers to increase the ability of the protective insert 100 to withstand impact and prevent damage to e.g. a roll of sheet material, e.g. steel, aluminium or paper.
- FIG. 4 a show a roll 400 of sheet material.
- FIG. 4 b show how a protective insert 100 is mounted in the eye or centre aperture 408 of the roll 400 .
- the surfaces 402 , 404 and the edge 406 of a roll 400 of sheet material e.g. steel, aluminium or paper, are susceptible of being damaged when the roll is transported and handled. Often these rolls are lifted with an arm that is inserted into the hollow core of the roll and then there is a risk that both the annular side surface 402 , the inner surface 404 of the hollow core, and the edge 406 get damaged.
- the protective insert 100 protects these surfaces and the edge 406 from being damaged.
- ridges 112 a , 112 b are provided on the flange 104 and/or on the sleeve 102 they additionally contribute to protect the mentioned surfaces and also the edge 406 from being damaged.
- the ridges 112 a , 112 b which may be provided on the flange 104 may be high enough to accommodate the height of the pin 106 . In that way the annular side portion of e.g. a roll of sheet steel is not damaged by the pin 106 even if the elevated edge slot section 108 c of the slot 108 would not be elevated, or if the pin 106 would protrude farther than the height of the elevated edge slot section 108 c.
- the outer diameter of the sleeve 102 is advantageously greater than the inner diameter of the centre aperture or eye 408 in which it is to be mounted. If e.g. the protective insert 100 is to be mounted in the eye of a roll of sheet steel or aluminium which has a nominal diameter of 610 mm it is advantageous if the outer diameter of the sleeve 102 is approximately 620 mm when not mounted. In this way the protective insert 100 will sit securely in the eye or centre aperture also if the inner diameter is somewhat greater than the nominal 610 mm.
- the protective insert 100 may advantageously be used without additional securing measures but when necessary the protective insert 100 may also be additionally secured with package straps which may be pulled through the centre aperture and extending on the outside of the roll.
- a package strap is schematically shown at 410 in FIG. 4 b.
- the flange 104 may be divided in sections where the sections are connected by expandable and compressible segments 114 .
- the segments 114 contribute to the ability of the protective insert 100 of being adjusted to different diameters, facilitates the mounting of the protective insert 100 and contributes to the resiliency of the protective insert 100 .
- the segments 114 may e.g. comprise a creased structure where in addition the thickness of the material may be smaller than in the rest of the flange 104 .
- the segments 114 are wedge shaped which is advantageous when the diameter of the protective insert 100 needs to be adjusted, e.g. when mounting the protective insert 100 .
- Wedge shaped segments 114 contribute to the resiliency of the protective insert 100 and to the secure fastening of the protective insert 100 when it is mounted. But the segments 114 may also have other shapes, e.g. square.
- the sleeve 102 may also be divided in sections where the sections are connected by connecting sleeve areas 116 having smaller thickness, e.g. in the form of grooves, which functions like hinges between the different sections of the sleeve 102 .
- the areas or grooves 116 contribute to the ability of the protective insert 100 of being adjusted to different diameters and facilitates the mounting of the protective insert 100 .
- FIG. 1 there are four segments 114 and connecting sleeve areas 116 which are circumferentially equally spaced.
- the flange 104 may be provided with holes or cut outs 118 , which are few enough not to reduce the strength of the flange 104 but they lower the weight of the protective insert 100 which facilitates handling and mounting and they save material and thereby make the protective insert 100 more economical to produce.
- the first engagement means 106 , 108 may be provided on the first and second flange portions 104 a and 104 b as in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 a or on the first and second sleeve portions 102 a and 102 b as in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 .

- According to one advantageous embodiment, there is provided a protective insert wherein said flange extends from said sleeve under an angle in the interval of approximately 83-95 degrees. Advantageously the angle is 85-90 degrees and most advantageously said angle is 87-90 degrees. Said angle is measured from the flange under side, towards the sleeve outer side.
- When said angle is smaller than 90 degrees that brings the advantage that the protective insert can deflect inwardly a certain distance before bearing against the annular surface of a coil or roll of sheet material. The protective insert deflects inwardly resiliently while exerting a certain resistance against the force making it to deflect. This is true when the protective insert is not secured by additional package straps. When the protective insert is being additionally secured with package straps the protective insert will have a tight fit against the surfaces of the roll of sheet material if said angle is 90 degrees or smaller than 90 degrees. That the protective insert has a tight fit is an advantage e.g. because objects can not enter any gaps between the protective insert and the roll.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment, there is provided a protective insert wherein said flange comprises at least one ridge.
- According to another advantageous embodiment, there is provided a protective insert wherein said flange comprises at least one ridge which extends along at least part of the flange inner circumference.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 a, an advantageous first embodiment of theprotective insert 100 now will be described. Theprotective insert 100 is ring shaped and comprises asleeve 102, aflange 104 and first engagement means 106, 108 comprising apin 106 on afirst flange portion 104 a and aslot 108 on asecond flange portion 104 b. Theslot 108 comprises a wider slot section 108 a for insertion of thepin 106, and anarrower slot section 108 b for engaging thepin 106. Advantageously, theslot 108 has a curved shape which substantially corresponds to the curvature of theflange 104. As shown inFIG. 1 a, advantageously thenarrower slot section 108 b comprises an elevatedslot edge section 108 c which is elevated sufficiently to accommodate thepin end portion 106 b in the space between the underside of the elevatedslot edge section 108 c and the underside of theflange 102. As shown inFIG. 1 a, the wider slot section 108 a may be asymmetric and be wider in the area close to the inner circumference of theflange 104 to further facilitate the insertion of thepin 106. In the view inFIG. 1 a, thepin 106 extends on the under side of afirst flange portion 104 a. The first engagement means 106, 108 contributes to the diameter of theprotective insert 100 being able to be adjusted. - The
protective insert 100 is open, i.e. there is adistance 122 between afirst sleeve portion 102 a and asecond sleeve portion 102 b and between first andsecond flange portions protective insert 100 is not mounted or otherwise affected by external forces. Due to the engagement means theprotective insert 100 can easily be brought from an open position to a closed position while permitting easy adjustment of the diameter and enabling a secure fastening towards the inner surface of a centre aperture or eye of an object, e.g. a roll of sheet steel, sheet aluminium or paper. When theprotective insert 100 is in a closed position it can also easily be opened. That theprotective insert 100 is open when it is not mounted contributes to the force that theprotective insert 100 exerts outwards when it is mounted. That theprotective insert 100 is manufactured of plastic also contributes to said force since it contributes to theprotective insert 100 being resilient. - The
sleeve 102 and theflange 104 are arranged at an angle, calledflange angle 120, of approximately 90 degrees to each other, advantageously the angle is somewhat smaller than 90 degrees. The angle is measured as shown inFIG. 1 b. Said angle may be in the interval 83-95 degrees, more advantageously 85-90 degrees and most advantageously 87-90 degrees. - The
pin 106 comprises apin start portion 106 a and apin end portion 106 b and thepin end portion 106 b is advantageously T-shaped as shown inFIG. 1 c. The first engagement means 106, 108 secures the first andsecond sleeve portions second flange portions protective insert 100 and prevents axial and/or radial displacement, advantageously axial and radial displacement, of said portions. - The overall design of the
slot 108 andpin 106 is one factor contributing to the ability of the first engagement means 106, 108 to prevent displacement. - Advantageously there is a tight fit between
pin 106 andslot 108 and between theupper surface 106 d of thepin end portion 106 b and the surface on the under side of the elevatedslot edge section 108 c of theslot 108, whenpin 106 and slot 108 are engaged. This is also one factor contributing to the ability of the first engagement means 106, 108 to prevent displacement. - Advantageously, there is a precise dimensioning of the width of the
pin start portion 106 a in relation to the width of the narrowersecond slot section 108 b, whereby the width of thepin start portion 106 a is substantially equal to the width of the narrowersecond slot section 108 b. However, the width of thepin start portion 106 a is not exactly equal to the width of the narrowersecond slot section 108 b since this would make it difficult to slide or move thepin 106 in the narrowersecond slot section 108 b. Advantageously, the width of thepin start portion 106 a is slightly smaller than the width of the narrowersecond slot section 108 b to facilitate movement of thepin 106. The above mentioned in this paragraph is one factor contributing to the ability of the first engagement means 106, 108 to prevent radial displacement between theadjacent sleeve portions adjacent flange portions - Advantageously, there is a precise dimensioning of the length of the
pin start portion 106 a, so that the upper surface 106 c of thepin end portion 106 b, is in contact with the surface on the under side of the elevatedslot edge section 108c surrounding slot 108, whenpin 106 and slot 108 are engaged. This is one factor contributing to the ability of the first engagement means 106, 108 to prevent axial displacement between theadjacent sleeve portions adjacent flange portions - Advantageously, there may be provided second engagement means 110 in the form of a snap and ratchet mechanism comprising at least one first ridge or notch 110 a and at least one, advantageously several,
second ridges 110 b. The second engagement means 110 enables the adjustment of the diameter of theprotective insert 100 to a desired diameter and to lock theprotective insert 100 in that diameter. In the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 1 a, severalsecond ridges 110 b are provided on a part of the inner surface of thesecond sleeve portion 102 b and extend radially. Thesecond ridges 110 b cover an area extending circumferentially substantially from the edge of thesecond sleeve portion 102 b. One or more first ridges ornotches 110 a are provided on a part of the outer surface of thefirst sleeve portion 102 a and extends radially. If there are more than one first ridge or notch 110 a, they cover an area extending circumferentially substantially from the edge of thefirst sleeve portion 102 a. If more than one first ridge or notch 110 a is provided the securing action of the second engagement means 110 may be increased. IFIG. 1 a the first ridges ornotches 110 a are not visible but inFIG. 3 c one first ridge or notch 110 a is shown. -
Second ridges 110 b and first ridges ornotches 110 a may have substantially the same shape. But the at least one first ridge or notch 110 a basically may have any shape as long as it can engage in locking interaction with thesecond ridges 110 b. - In
FIGS. 1 d and 1 e two examples of different shapes of thesecond ridges 110 b are shown, thesurfaces 110 s may e.g. have different inclinations. If thesurfaces 110 s are inclined as inFIG. 1 d the ability of the second engagement means 110 to prevent circumferential displacement in the direction opposite of thearrow 110 c is increased, as compared to the shape shown inFIG. 1 e. The arrow points towards the edge of thesecond sleeve portion 102 b. On the other hand, a symmetrical shape of the ridges, as shown inFIG. 1 e, provides equally good prevention of circumferential displacement in both directions, the direction of the arrow and the opposite direction. - The resilient properties of the
protective insert 100, contributes to the presence of a snap action when therespective ridges second sleeve portions second flange portions - Both the first engagement means 106, 108 and the second engagement means 110 contribute to the advantageous handing and mounting properties of the
protective insert 100. Theprotective insert 100 is easily mounted in openings having, within a reasonable interval, different inner diameters and sits securely when mounted. Theprotective insert 100 may be provided with both first engagement means 106, 108 and second engagement means 110 or one of these engaging means. - Providing the
protective insert 100 with both first and second engaging means results in an synergistic effect and provides a stable connection of the adjacent sleeve and flange portions in axial, circumferential, and advantageously also radial, direction of theprotective insert 100, and ensures that theprotective insert 100 exerts a certain force against theinner surface 404 of the hollow core in which it is mounted. One synergistic effect is e.g. that the securing action of the second engagement means 110 is enhanced by the locking action of the first engagement means 106, 108. Because the first engagement means 106, 108 prevents axial displacement, of the adjacent portions, theridges respective ridges - Advantageously, the first engagement means 106, 108 also prevents radial displacement which prevents the
respective ridges - The
flange 104 may extend outwards from the sleeveinner circumference 102 g, from the sleeveouter circumference 102 h, or from any point there between. The difference or distance between the sleeveinner circumference 102 g and the sleeveouter circumference 102 h depends on the material thickness of thesleeve 102. - The
flange 104 and/or thesleeve 102 may be provided with one ormore ridges protective insert 100 to protect theannular side surface 402, theinner surface 404 of the hollow core and the edge 406 of e.g. a roll of sheet steel. The ridges 112 may extend in a circumferential direction as shown inFIG. 1 , or in a radial direction (not shown). The embodiment with ridges on thesleeve 102 is not illustrated. The ridges 112 can deflect inwardly under pressure, and thus can act as buffers to increase the ability of theprotective insert 100 to withstand impact and prevent damage to e.g. a roll of sheet material, e.g. steel, aluminium or paper. -
FIG. 4 a show aroll 400 of sheet material.FIG. 4 b show how aprotective insert 100 is mounted in the eye or centre aperture 408 of theroll 400. Thesurfaces roll 400 of sheet material, e.g. steel, aluminium or paper, are susceptible of being damaged when the roll is transported and handled. Often these rolls are lifted with an arm that is inserted into the hollow core of the roll and then there is a risk that both theannular side surface 402, theinner surface 404 of the hollow core, and the edge 406 get damaged. Theprotective insert 100 protects these surfaces and the edge 406 from being damaged. Ifridges flange 104 and/or on thesleeve 102 they additionally contribute to protect the mentioned surfaces and also the edge 406 from being damaged. Theridges flange 104 may be high enough to accommodate the height of thepin 106. In that way the annular side portion of e.g. a roll of sheet steel is not damaged by thepin 106 even if the elevatededge slot section 108 c of theslot 108 would not be elevated, or if thepin 106 would protrude farther than the height of the elevatededge slot section 108 c. - When the
protective insert 100 is not mounted, the outer diameter of thesleeve 102 is advantageously greater than the inner diameter of the centre aperture or eye 408 in which it is to be mounted. If e.g. theprotective insert 100 is to be mounted in the eye of a roll of sheet steel or aluminium which has a nominal diameter of 610 mm it is advantageous if the outer diameter of thesleeve 102 is approximately 620 mm when not mounted. In this way theprotective insert 100 will sit securely in the eye or centre aperture also if the inner diameter is somewhat greater than the nominal 610 mm. - The
protective insert 100 may advantageously be used without additional securing measures but when necessary theprotective insert 100 may also be additionally secured with package straps which may be pulled through the centre aperture and extending on the outside of the roll. A package strap is schematically shown at 410 inFIG. 4 b. - The
flange 104 may be divided in sections where the sections are connected by expandable andcompressible segments 114. Thesegments 114 contribute to the ability of theprotective insert 100 of being adjusted to different diameters, facilitates the mounting of theprotective insert 100 and contributes to the resiliency of theprotective insert 100. Thesegments 114 may e.g. comprise a creased structure where in addition the thickness of the material may be smaller than in the rest of theflange 104. InFIG. 1 a thesegments 114 are wedge shaped which is advantageous when the diameter of theprotective insert 100 needs to be adjusted, e.g. when mounting theprotective insert 100. Wedge shapedsegments 114 contribute to the resiliency of theprotective insert 100 and to the secure fastening of theprotective insert 100 when it is mounted. But thesegments 114 may also have other shapes, e.g. square. - The
sleeve 102 may also be divided in sections where the sections are connected by connectingsleeve areas 116 having smaller thickness, e.g. in the form of grooves, which functions like hinges between the different sections of thesleeve 102. The areas orgrooves 116 contribute to the ability of theprotective insert 100 of being adjusted to different diameters and facilitates the mounting of theprotective insert 100. - In
FIG. 1 there are foursegments 114 and connectingsleeve areas 116 which are circumferentially equally spaced. - The
flange 104 may be provided with holes or cutouts 118, which are few enough not to reduce the strength of theflange 104 but they lower the weight of theprotective insert 100 which facilitates handling and mounting and they save material and thereby make theprotective insert 100 more economical to produce. - The first engagement means 106, 108 may be provided on the first and
second flange portions FIG. 1 a or on the first andsecond sleeve portions FIG. 2 . - The second engagement means 110 may be provided on the first and
second sleeve portions FIGS. 1 a and 2, or on the first andsecond flange portions - In
FIG. 2 it is shown a second embodiment of theprotective insert 100. It is illustrated that the first engagement means may be provided on thesleeve 102. Aslot 208 is provided on thesecond sleeve portion 102 b. Theslot 208 has a wider slot section 208 a for insertion of thepin 206, and anarrower slot section 208 b for engaging thepin 206. Theslot 208 may have aprotruding edge 208 c as shown and as theslot 108. A pin 206 (not shown) extends from the sleeve outer side 102 f. When thepin 206 is engaged with theslot 208 the pin end portion 206 a does not extend beyond the sleeve outer side 102 f of thesecond sleeve portion 102 b. - Apart from the specific design of the wider slot section 108 a, the shape/curvature of the
slot 108 and that theslot 108 and thepin 106 is located at/on theflange 104, the information stated about the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 1 a is valid also for the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 2 . However, since thepin 206 is located on thesleeve 102 in the second embodiment, there is a risk that a lifting arm, lifting a roll of sheet material on/in which theprotective insert 100 is mounted, will push so hard against thepin 206 so that thepin 206 damages the inner surface of the eye or centre aperture of the roll. This risk of course only exists if theprotective insert 100 is placed so that thepin 206 is located between the surface of the lifting arm and the inner surface of the eye or centre aperture of the roll. - This risk do not exist with the first embodiment of the
protective insert 100, which is an advantage of the first embodiment of theprotective insert 100. The first embodiment of theprotective insert 100 may also be easier to mount since the first engagement means 106, 108 is easily accessible and operable on the outside/flange 104 of theprotective insert 100. - In
FIGS. 3 a-3 c respectively a front view, side view and back view of a version of theprotective insert 100 according to the first embodiment are shown. InFIGS. 3 d-3 g detail drawings of this version of theprotective insert 100 are shown. The elements shown in theFIGS. 3 d-3 g are applicable to any embodiment of theprotective insert 100. The measures shown inFIGS. 3 d, 3 f and 3 g are exemplary. InFIG. 3 b one embodiment of thepin 106 is shown, inFIG. 3 c one embodiment of the ridge or notch 110 a is shown. -
FIG. 3 d is a drawing according to section D-D inFIG. 3 a and shows one embodiment of theridges -
FIG. 3 e is a drawing according to section C-C inFIG. 3 a and shows one embodiment of the collapsible andexpandable segments 114. -
FIG. 3 f is a drawing according to section B-B inFIG. 3 a and shows one embodiment of theslot 108 with theelevated slot section 108 c. -
FIG. 3 g is a drawing according to section A-A inFIG. 3 a and shows one embodiment of thepin 106 with thepin start portion 106 a andpin end portion 106 b. - There are different materials suitable for the
protective insert 100, advantageously plastic is used. By manufacturing theprotective insert 100 in plastic theprotective insert 100 can be made light, which makes it easy to handle and to mount. By being made of plastic there is a low risk, basically no risk, that theprotective insert 100 should damage the coil or roll or the person mounting theprotective insert 100. Some examples of suitable materials are polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), e.g. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). - The
protective insert 100 may e.g. be manufactured by injection moulding. - The
protective insert 100 is advantageously used for protecting rolls of sheet steel respectively sheet aluminium and is structurally and dimensionally adapted to these fields of use. - Although particular embodiments have been disclosed herein in detail, this has been done by way of example for purposes of illustration only, and is not intended to be limiting with respect to the scope of the appended claims that follow. In particular, it is contemplated by the inventor that various substitutions, alterations, and modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
