Abstract
Abstract The roller comprises a core and a shell secured to said core. The shell is made up of two coaxial pipes, i.e. an inner pipe secured to the core in the middle and an outer pipe fastened to the inner pipe in the middle and at the ends. This allows the shell to be made of small-diameter thin-walled pipes thus reducing the roller deflection and decreasing considerably the weight both of the roller proper and of the equipment utilizing said roller.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A roller for applying a uniform load across the width of a processed sheet material comprising: an elongate core; and an elongate shell assembly defining a hollow interior space, said core being disposed within said interior space, said shell assembly comprising an inner pipe fastened at its mid-portion to the mid-portion of said core and an outer pipe coaxially extending over said inner pipe and fastened to the inner pipe at the mid and end portions thereof, said outer pipe being substantially non-bendable under the load supplied by the roll to the processed sheet material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A roller for applying a uniform load across the width of a processed sheet material comprising: an elongate core; and an elongate shell assembly defining a hollow interior space, said core being disposed within said interior space, said shell assembly comprising an inner pipe fastened at its mid-portion to the mid-portion of said core and an outer pipe coaxially extending over said inner pipe and fastened to the inner pipe at the mid and end portions thereof, said outer pipe being substantially non-bendable under the load supplied by the roll to the processed sheet material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A roller according to claim 1 wherein the outer pipe is formed of a heat-conductive material and the ends of the pipes are hermetically interconnected, forming a closed circular space between the pipes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A roller according to claim 2 further including electric heaters installed within said circular space, said heaters extending along the shell axis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
A roller according to claim 3 wherein the electric heaters are enclosed in tubes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A roller according to claim 4 wherein the closed circular space is filled with a liquid heat carrier.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A roller according to claim 4 wherein the closed circular space is filled with a medium adapted to melt during operation of said electric heaters.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A roller according to claim 2 further including pipeline means communicating with the circular space for delivering a temperature changing fluid into said space.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
A roller according to claim 7 wherein said temperature changing fluid is a cooling fluid.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
15 words
A roller according to claim 7 wherein said temperature changing fluid is a heating fluid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
55 words
A roller according to claim 1 wherein said core comprises an elongate member having a circular transverse cross-section, said member tapering inwardly in the direction of its terminal ends within said shell defining a clearance between said core and said inner pipe, said clearance increasing in the direction of the terminal ends of said member.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
21 words
A roller according to claim 10 wherein said elongate member is further defined by a central cylindrical section at its mid-portion.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
35 words
A roller according to claim 1 wherein said inner pipe is fastened to said outer pipe at its mid-portion by an annular ring and at each of its end portions by a plurality of ribs.
