Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A squeeze roll adapted to adjust the widthwise distribution of pressure, comprising a support shaft journaled at its opposite ends having a shaft axis with ends, a cylindrical tube coaxially fixed to said support shaft at the central portion thereof having a tube axis with ends, conical pistons having conical heads and rotatably and slidably mounted on opposite ends of said shaft, interior conical guide members formed on the inner surface of said cylindrical tube at the opposite ends thereof and adapted to be contacted with the conical heads of said pistons, and thrust means mounted on the opposite ends of said support shaft for imparting an axially adjustable force to said pistons, the arrangement being such that said shaft axis ends are offset from said tube axis ends and the pressure of contact between said conical heads and said conical guide members is adjustable whereby said conical pistons eccentrically load said guide members, thereby bending said tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A squeeze roll adapted to adjust the widthwise distribution of pressure, comprising a support shaft journaled at its opposite ends having a shaft axis with ends, a cylindrical tube coaxially fixed to said support shaft at the central portion thereof having a tube axis with ends, conical pistons having conical heads and rotatably and slidably mounted on opposite ends of said shaft, interior conical guide members formed on the inner surface of said cylindrical tube at the opposite ends thereof and adapted to be contacted with the conical heads of said pistons, and thrust means mounted on the opposite ends of said support shaft for imparting an axially adjustable force to said pistons, the arrangement being such that said shaft axis ends are offset from said tube axis ends and the pressure of contact between said conical heads and said conical guide members is adjustable whereby said conical pistons eccentrically load said guide members, thereby bending said tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A squeeze roll as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that said thrust means use fluid pressure as a pressure source.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A squeeze roll as set forth in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said thrust means use fluid pressure and are provided with means capable of adjusting the fluid pressure being supplied.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
A squeeze roll as set forth in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said thrust means use fluid pressure and are provided with means capable of adjusting the fluid pressure being supplied and comprise a combination of a piston and a cylinder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
A squeeze roll as set forth in claim 4, characterized in that the cylinder combined with the piston has a pressure receiving space to which fluid pressure is supplied through a communication hole in the support shaft from a rotary joint installed at the end of the support shaft.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A squeeze roll as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that said thrust means comprise resilient means, such as a spring, and resilient force adjusting means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A squeeze roll as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that said thrust means have adjusting means for finely adjusting the axial position of the piston.
