Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
In a screw extruder housing for a screw extruder machine, which housing has one or more axially parallel bores for a screw shaft, the wall of each bore being provided with a wear-resistant lining, the improvement wherein: the wall of each bore is provided over its entire periphery with a plurality of recesses which are bounded by lands formed between adjacent recesses; and each of said recesses has a wearing insert disposed therein, said insert being made of a non-metallic material more wear resistant than the wall and being produced by the process of introducing the insert material into said recesses in the wall in a formable condition, and forming and hardening the inserts in situ.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
In a screw extruder housing for a screw extruder machine, which housing has one or more axially parallel bores for a screw shaft, the wall of each bore being provided with a wear-resistant lining, the improvement wherein: the wall of each bore is provided over its entire periphery with a plurality of recesses which are bounded by lands formed between adjacent recesses; and each of said recesses has a wearing insert disposed therein, said insert being made of a non-metallic material more wear resistant than the wall and being produced by the process of introducing the insert material into said recesses in the wall in a formable condition, and forming and hardening the inserts in situ.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A screw extruder housing according to claim 1, wherein the recesses are formed parallel to the axis of each bore, in the wall of the bore, the recesses having a uniform cross-section throughout their length.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A screw extruder housing according to claim 1, wherein the recesses have an undercut profile.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A screw extruder housing according to claim 1, wherein additional recesses extending non-longitudinally are provided.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A screw extruder housing according to claim 1, wherein the surfaces of the wearing inserts are flush with the surfaces of the lands.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A screw extruder housing according to claim 1, wherein the wearing inserts are constructed so as to extend from said recesses and also cover said lands to form a wear resistant lining over the entire periphery of each wall.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of forming a wear resistant lining on the wall of each bore of a screw extruder housing for a screw extruder machine, which housing has one or more axially parallel bores for a screw shaft, comprising the steps of: forming a plurality of recesses, which are bounded by lands formed between adjacent recesses, in the wall of each bore over the entire periphery thereof; introducing into the recesses, in a formable condition, non-metallic material which in the hardened state is more wear resistant than the wall; and hardening the material into a wear resistant lining.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of forming a wear resistant lining on the wall of each bore of a screw extruder housing for a screw extruder machine, which housing has one or more axially parallel bores for a screw shaft, comprising the steps of: forming a plurality of recesses, which are bounded by lands formed between adjacent recesses, in the wall of each bore over the entire periphery thereof; introducing into the recesses, in a formable condition, non-metallic material which in the hardened state is more wear resistant than the wall; and hardening the material into a wear resistant lining.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
46 words
A method in accordance with claim 7, further including after said introducing step and before said hardening step, the step of forming the material into a lining disposed not only in the recesses but also covering the lands thereby covering the entire periphery of the wall.
