Patent Nov. 4, 1975 FIG.5
BUSINESS MACHINE CORE It is well known that business machines utilizing strips of paper rolled on a core are extremely delicate and require those cores to be sized to very close tolerances. In the past, cores have been made of paper which generally is constructed from convolute tubes rolled with heavy wall thicknesses. These heavy wall thicknesses are necessary in order to retain the tape which is applied with substantial pressure. The paper business machine cores have presented problems when encountering varying degrees of moisture in the ambient atmosphere. The amount of moisture will have a determining affect on the size of the core and can cause malfunction of the machine. Furthermore, these paper cores are generally of substantial weight in relationship to their size and thereby require substantial freight and storage space. Another problem encountered with the paper core is the difficulty in maintaining close tolerances, especially as required in the highly delicate and complicated business machines in existence today.
In order to overcome the above noted disadvantages, inter alia, the instant invention comtemplates a business machine tape core made of foamed plastic material and utilizing a friction increasing surface.
A better understanding may be had of the instant application and the advantages thereof by reference to the accompanying drawings wherein like numerals refer to like parts:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of one embodiment of the instant invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of an alternative embodiment of the instant invention;
FIG. 4 is an end view of the embodiment of the core of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of a further embodiment of the instant invention; and
FIG. 6 is an end view of the core of the invention with paper tape wound thereon;
FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein projections 22 extend longitudinally of body 12 and yet serve in a similar manner to prevent the sloughing of tape 26 from the core. It is to be understood that ribs of any configuration may be utilized. For example, diamond or circular shaped configurations are within the concept of the instant invention.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein the central portion of body 12 has a stippled or knurled friction increasing area 16. Stippled area 16 extends substantially the length of body 12 with the exception of end portions 18 which are smooth in order to insure the proper mounting of core 10 in the aparatus. Stippled area 16 may be formed in any of a number of ways, but one means of accomplishing the stippling is to effect post expansion of the foamed plastic over that area. The post expansion may be accomplished in any number of ways such for example as applying heat and pressure over this area subsequent to the cooling of originally formed body 12. Another method of accomplishing the post expansion is to have body 10 roll over a heating element such that surface 14 is in contact with the heat and a post expansion of minimal extent is accomplished. This provides 'a friction increasing characteristic to the outer surface of the core and thereby insures that tape 26 will not slough from the core 10. Area 16 may be more of a knurled configuration which can be provided by a roughened mold surface.
Generally core 10 is constructed of a cellular plastic material whichis molded into the desired shape in preferably a single step molding operation using a heated mold which forms a smooth surface with a very thin shell on the exterior of the core. The cellular material in the spool is generally of a density of 5 to 15 pounds per cubic foot. This density and forming method have been found to provide projections or post expansion characteristics that establish the friction increasing characteristic that is necessary while forming a sufficiently strong and non-collapsing core.
What is claimed is:
1. A core for use in the mounting and dispensing of a roll of paper tape in a business machine or the like, said core being formed of foam plastic and defining an elongated cylindrical body of a length sufficient so as to accommodate the width of a paper tape, a bore centrally in said body, an outer surface about said body for reception of the tape thereabout, and means on said surface for increasing frictional engagement between the surface and the paper tape, said means being centrally located on said core, terminating inward of the opposed ends of the core, and comprising spaced elongated projections extending from said surface.
2. The core of claim 1 wherein the density of the foamed plastic is in the range of 5 to 15 pounds per cubic foot.
3. The core of claim 1 wherein the projections extend circumferentially about the core at spaced points longitudinally along said core.
