Definitions
- a first pair of longitudinally elongated shoes is arranged on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis which passes through a frame element, and a fluid power cylinder is connected to move the shoes outwardly away from and inwardly toward the frame and the axis between extended and retracted positions.
- a second pair of longitudinally elongated shoes is disposed between the first pair of shoes and a pointed nose member on the axis. The front ends of the second shoes are pivotally connected to the nose member at a common point on the axis and the rear ends are respectively removably pivotally connected to the front ends of the first shoes, the nose member and the first and second shoes forming a generally wedge-shaped configuration in the retracted position.
- a retainer member is removably connected to the first shoes for retaining their rear ends in their retracted position so that the first shoes are inclined upwardly and forwardly to their front ends upon actuation of the cylinder.
- the first shoes are extended laterally outwardly upon actuation of the cylinder.
- the scrap value of a deformed roll of paper or sheet metal is a small fraction of the original cost of the paper or metal and thus, a substantial loss is incurred unless the material can be salvaged.
- the paper or sheet metal on the deformed roll can, of course, be salvaged by rewinding from the deformed roll onto a new cylindrical core or mandrel however, such rewinding is a time consuming operation requiring rewinding apparatus which is not commonly available at the utilization plant.
- the shoes being separated by an external ram-actuated mechanism thereby to straighten the roll.
- the shoes can only be positioned in the entrance of the the use of some other apparatus for providing a primary opening.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,635,440 granted July 20, 1970 and also assigned to the Assignee of the present application discloses force exerting apparatus usable for straightening deformed rolls of sheet stock which employs a pair of shoes which are separated by a toggle linkage actuated by a longitudinally extending hydraulic cylinder. While such apparatus is capable of initial insertion in a severely depressed, large diameter roll and provides substantially greater expansion than that provided by the apparatus of the aforesaid U.S. Pat. No. 3,618,895, that apparatus still cannot be directly inserted into a nearly or substantially collapsed core or central opening.
- That apparatus comprises an elongated, generally wedge-shaped body adapted to be inserted into the interior of the core or center opening and a ram-actuated shoe carried by the body for exerting outward force on depressed areas of the core or central opening thereby to restore the roll to its original round configuration.
- Such spreaders are limited in their use to rolls having a relatively small diameter core or central opening.
- the invention provides an improvement in apparatus for opening a collapsed roll of sheet stock which includes a frame element having a front end, a pair of shoe elements respectively on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis which passes through the frame element and respectively having front ends, and means connected to the frame element for moving the shoe elements outwardly away from and inwardly toward its axis between extended and retracted positions.
- the improvement comprises the provision of a pointed nose member on the axis for facilitating entry of the apparatus into the core or center opening of a collapsed roll, and means for removably attaching the nose member to the front end of the frame element or the front ends of the pair of shoe elements.
- the nose member and the shoe elements define a generally wedge-shaped configuration in the retracted position.
- the nose member is attached to the shoe elements by another pair of shoe elements respectively removably pivotally connected to the front ends of the first pair of shoe elements and pivotally connected to the nose member at a common point on the axis.
- the nose member is removably attached to the front end of the frame element.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an improved method for opening a collapsed roll of sheet stock.
- a further object of the invention is to provide improved apparatus capable of insertion directly into the interior of the core or central opening ofa substantially collapsed roll of sheet stock and for thereafter expanding the same sufficiently to permit subsequent insertion of other apparatus for completing restoration of the roll to its original cylindrical shape.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide an improved apparatus and method for providing a primary opening in a collapsed roll of sheet stock.

- apparatus 22 is retracted, removed from central opening 162, and front shoes 102, 104 and pointed nose member 92 are re moved from shoes 54, 56 by removing pins 110, 112.
- Apparatus 22 is then again inserted in central opening 162 and shoes 54, 56 extended and retracted, sequentially, as assembly 22 is moved progressively downwardly to end 166 of central opening 162 thereby to complete the primary opening of central opening 162.
- retainer 60 may also be employed, if required, in connection with assembly 22 from which front shoes 102, 104 and nose member 92 have been removed.
