Abstract
Abstract A conveyor roller is disclosed which has flanges radially inwardly thereof at its ends. Stub shafts are secured to the flanges by bolts passing through mating flanges formed on the stub shafts. Threaded apertures are formed in the flanges of the stub shafts to receive bolts to bear against the flanges at the ends of the roller sleeve to function as screw jacks for removing the stub shafts. One end of the conveyor roller includes noncircular rotational restriction means to drive the conveyor roller.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A conveyor roller structure comprising; a roller sleeve, a first flange within said sleeve and extending radially inwardly thereof, and having a noncircular rotational restricting surface extending radially inwardly of the flange, a first plurality of threaded apertures in said first flange, stub shaft means for connection to said first flange, a second flange on said stub shaft means directed radially outwardly thereof and having a noncircular rotational restricting surface in nested, mating, torque-transferring contact with said first flange rotational restricting surface, a second plurality of apertures on said second flange and arranged for registry with said first plurality of threaded apertures for receiving threaded fasteners therein to secure said stub shaft to said roller sleeve, and a third plurality of threaded apertures formed in said second flange on a common radius with the first and second plurality of threaded apertures but located alternatively therebetween and diametrically opposed to one another to receive bolts therein, said bolts functioning as screw jacks for removing said stub shaft from roller sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
169 words
A conveyor roller structure comprising; a roller sleeve, a first flange within said sleeve and extending radially inwardly thereof, and having a noncircular rotational restricting surface extending radially inwardly of the flange, a first plurality of threaded apertures in said first flange, stub shaft means for connection to said first flange, a second flange on said stub shaft means directed radially outwardly thereof and having a noncircular rotational restricting surface in nested, mating, torque-transferring contact with said first flange rotational restricting surface, a second plurality of apertures on said second flange and arranged for registry with said first plurality of threaded apertures for receiving threaded fasteners therein to secure said stub shaft to said roller sleeve, and a third plurality of threaded apertures formed in said second flange on a common radius with the first and second plurality of threaded apertures but located alternatively therebetween and diametrically opposed to one another to receive bolts therein, said bolts functioning as screw jacks for removing said stub shaft from roller sleeve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
A conveyor roller structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the threaded fasteners extending through said first and second apertures for mounting said stub shaft to said roller sleeve are different than the threaded fasteners used to thread within said third plurality of threaded apertures to function as a screw jack for removing said stub shaft from said roller sleeve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A conveyor roller structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first flange is inserted into said roller sleeve and welded in place about the inner peripheral margin thereof.
