Definitions

  • HIM/Egg; ported y two elongated supports; and p g means are [58] i g provided for supporting each roll axle end on a support and 198/127 R 269/1674 70 has two normally substantially parallel, normally substantially equidistant elongated plates with aligned apertures which receive the roll axle end, and adjusting means which can vary [56] References Cited the distance between the plates near one end relative to the UNITED STATES PATENTS distance near the other end 01' said plates, so as to clamp effectively and in exact predetermined position the roll axle ends.
  • the invention relates to conveyor roll arrangements, and relates more particularly to a conveyor roll that includes a hollow roll body that is joumalled for rotation about an immovable roll axle. More particularly, the invention relates to such an arrangement in which the roll axle ends are supported substantially perpendicularly to the direction of elongation of two elongated supports.
  • Conveyor rolls of this type are mounted in roll conveyors, for instance for transporting holding or casting boxes in foundries, or in conveyor systems for transporting piece goods.
  • Conveyor rolls are known in which the ends of the roll axles are guided in recesses which are established in laterally arranged supports, and have means to restrain axial and radial movement. Constructions are furthermore known in which the ends of the roll axles are provided with surfaces and with holding means cooperating therewith.
  • the instant invention provides for clamping of the opposite roll axle ends in apertures of normally substantially equidistant, normally substantially parallel plates which are mounted on the respective support which, together with adjusting means, such as adjusting screws, form clamping means for the effective clamping in exact predetermined position of the roll axle ends.
  • the instant invention furthermore provides for mounting the rims on the roll body ends by metal binding means and/or metal bonding agents.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of a conveyor roll arrangement in accordance with one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary side elevational view, on a smaller scale, as compared to FIG. 1, of a plurality of conveyor rolls in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view, on a scale and in its arrangement similar to that of FIG. 1, but embodying a modification.
  • a conveyor roll arrangement that includes a cylindrical hollow roll or roll body 1 that carries near its opposite ends rims 2 and 2'.
  • the rims 2, 2' are mounted on the roll 1 by means of a well known conventional metal bonding agent.
  • the roll 1 has an off-set rolling surface 15, and in the off-set portions is provided with vent holes 19.
  • the hollow roll body 1 mounts conventional, suitable ball bearings 12 which are pressed into the ends of the hollow roll body 1, and which are mounted on the opposite ends 4 of an immovably held roll axle 3.
  • Each ball bearing 12 is held axially, on one hand at its retaining ring by means of a spacer ring 13 that is seated against a shoulder that is formed on the interior of the roll body 1, and at its inner ring by means of an adjusting ring 10.
  • Each of the adjusting rings 10 is connected to its respective roll axle end 4 by means of a set screw 11, and furthermore has its bore, with which it surrounds the external surface of the roll axle end 4 bonded to said end 4 by a suitable bonding agent.
  • a play 16 is provided between the shoulder of each adjusting ring 10 and the inner ring of the ball bearing 12 adjacent thereto.
  • the roll axle ends 4 are connected, with the axis of the roll axle 3 disposed perpendicularly to two supports, such as angle irons, 7 in the following manner.
  • Each support 7 has a beam engaging portion 17 and a portion at right angle thereto which defines a surface 14.
  • the surface 14 is parallel to the portion 17.
  • Apertures or bores 5 and 5' are provided in plates 6 and 6', respectively, and are substantially aligned.
  • the plates 6 and 6 are normally substantially equidistant and normally substantially parallel to each other on each support 7.
  • Bolts or screws 9 connect the plates 6 and 6' of each support 7 to the respective support.
  • the plates 6 and 6 furthermore are provided with adjusting means, such as adjusting screws 8 which, together with the plates 6 and 6' and the apertures 5 and 5' constitute clamping means for the respective roll axle end 4.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown a series of rolls 1, constituting a portion of a roll conveyor.
  • the roll body 1 is mounted on the ball bearings 12 which, in turn, are mounted on the ends 4 of the roll axle 3.
  • the ball bearings are secured against disengagement.
  • Each roll axle end 4 is supported on a surface 14 of the support 7 and in the substantially aligned apertures 5, 5' of the plates 6 and 6 which are mounted by the screws 9 on the support 7.
  • the operator will adjust the plates 6 and 6' by means of the adjusting screws 8.
  • a driven pinion 18 has been mounted near one end of the roll body 1, which serves for rotating the roll body 1 about the axis of the roll axle 3.
  • the pinion 18 is mounted near the rim 2 or 2', requiring moving of the rim further away from the end of the roll 1 than in FIG. 1.
  • a conveyor roll arrangement for use in connection with two elongated supports
  • a roll axle being adapted to be supported imrnovably from said supports with the axis of the roll axle disposed substantially perpendicular to the direction of elongation of said supports,
  • a hollow substantially cylindrical roll body journalled for rotation about said roll axle and having rims mounted near the opposite roll body ends,
  • clamping means adapted for supporting each roll axle end on a support, comprising two normally substantially parallel, nonnally substantially equidistant elongated plates defining substantially aligned apertures receiving said roll axle end, and
  • adjusting means operable to vary the distance between said plates near one end relative to the distance near the other end of said plates, whereby said roll axle ends will be clamped effectively and in exact predetermined position.
  • a conveyor roll arrangement as claimed in claim 1, said rims being bonded to the external surface of said hollow roll body.
  • a conveyor roll arrangement as claimed in claim 1, said roll body having at least one off-set external rolling surface.
  • a conveyor roll arrangement as claimed in claim 1, and an adjusting ring mounted on at least one of said roll axle ends and bonded thereto.
  • a conveyor roll arrangement as claimed in claim 1, and vent holes established in portions of said hollow roll body offset from the rolling surface of said rolling body.
  • a conveyor roll arrangement as claimed in claim 1, and a driving pinion connected to said roll body, for rotating the roll body, said pinion being secured to said roll body near one end thereof adjacent one of said rims.
