Abstract
Abstract A deflection-controlled roll has a roll shell rotatably mounted about a fixed beam and disposed on a plurality of hydraulic piston support or pressure devices positioned along the roll for exerting forces between the beam and the roll shell. The roll shell is formed of an elastomeric material and is provided with a stiffener insert embedded in the material of the shell for increasing its resistance to circumferential deformation. The stiffener insert may include a metal helical coil extending about the axis of the roll shell or a corrugated tube coaxial with the shell. The roll shell may also include a plurality of annular inserts spaced along the interior of the shell the inner surfaces of which form bearing surfaces for the support devices.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A deflection-controlled roll for the pressure treatment of materials in web form comprising a fixed beam, a generally cylindrical roll shell rotatably mounted about said beam and a plurality of hydraulic piston pressure devices disposed along the roll between said beam and said shell for exerting forces therebetween, said pressure devices each having a bearing surface facing the interior of said shell, said roll shell being formed at least substantially of an elastomeric material and having a longitudinally and circumferentially extending stiffener insert for increasing resistance of the shell to deformations during operation embedded in said elastomeric material, the interior regions of said shell adjacent said pressure devices forming bearing surfaces for said pressure devices.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A deflection-controlled roll for the pressure treatment of materials in web form comprising a fixed beam, a generally cylindrical roll shell rotatably mounted about said beam and a plurality of hydraulic piston pressure devices disposed along the roll between said beam and said shell for exerting forces therebetween, said pressure devices each having a bearing surface facing the interior of said shell, said roll shell being formed at least substantially of an elastomeric material and having a longitudinally and circumferentially extending stiffener insert for increasing resistance of the shell to deformations during operation embedded in said elastomeric material, the interior regions of said shell adjacent said pressure devices forming bearing surfaces for said pressure devices.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A roll according to claim 1 wherein said insert includes at least one coil of rigid material extending around the axis of said shell and a layer of longitudinally extending filaments spaced radially from said at least one coil.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A roll according to claim 2 wherein said coil has a circular cross-section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A roll according to claim 2 wherein said coil has a rectangular cross-section and is oriented so that the pairs of opposite sides thereof are respectively substantially parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the roll shell.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A roll according to claim 2 wherein said material of said coil is a metal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A roll according to claim 1 wherein said insert includes a plurality of annular members spaced along the interior of said shell and aligned with the bearing surfaces of said pressure devices, the inner surfaces of said annular inserts forming said bearing surfaces for said pressure devices.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A roll according to claim 6 wherein said annular members are metal.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
A roll according to claim 2 wherein said filaments are metal wires.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
A roll according to claim 1 wherein said insert is a corrugated tube which is coaxial with the roll shell.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
42 words
A roll according to claim 1 including means for supplying pressurized fluid to said pressure devices and means for separately regulating the pressure of the fluid supplied to separate groups of pressure devices, each group including at least one of said devices.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
34 words
A roll according to claim 1 in which said pressure devices include means for forming a hydrostatic fluid cushion between the bearing surfaces of said pressure devices and the interior of said roll shell.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
50 words
A roll according to claim 1 wherein said pressure devices are arranged in a row along the length of the roll and the roll includes a plurality of hydraulic lift-off devices spaced along the length of the roll diametrically opposite said row for exerting lift-off forces on the roll shell.
