Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
An extruder worm comprising a plurality of co-axial hollow worm sections, the inner surface of each said section being cylindrical and having a plurality of splines extending axially therealong, a hollow spindle, the outer surface of the spindle being cylindrical and having a plurality of splines extending axially therealong, said spindle extending through each said worm section, and the splines on said worm sections being engaged with the splines on said spindle, a hollow tie rod extending through said spindle, the inner surface of the spindle being radially spaced from the outer surface of the rod, first abutment means on the endmost of said sections at one end portion of said worm, the tie rod engaging the endmost of said sections at the other end portion of the worm, second abutment means on said tie rod, and spring means mounted on the tie rod and interposed between said first and second abutment means and creating an axial force between the worm sections in a sense to urge the sections relatively together.
