Abstract
The invention relates to a device, comprising: a spreader roll (2), the spreader roll having a roll tube (3), over which a material web is guided, the bending of the spreader roll (2) about its longitudinal axis allowing the material web to be spread out; and two bearing journals (4), which are operatively connected to the roll tube (3) and are pivotably articulated in a machine frame (1), the bearing journals (4) being mounted on the machine frame (1) by means of pivotable bearings (6) and the bearing journals having longitudinal pins (5) protruding beyond the bearings (6), at the ends of which longitudinal pins radially acting adjustment means (7) are positioned.
Claims9
An apparatus comprising:
- a machine frame;
- a spreader roll having a roll tube over which a material web is guided so that bending of the spreader roll relative to its longitudinal axis can spread the web width-wise;
- respective bearing pins fixed in ends of the roll tube and projecting axially outwardly therefrom;
- respective sleeves pivotable about the axis in the frame and surrounding the bearing pins;
- respective inner bearings in the sleeves, pivotable therewith on the machine frame, and in which the bearing pins are journaled, the bearing pins having axially outer ends projecting axially outward past the respective inner bearings;
- respective outer bearings on the outer ends of the pins offset axially outward from the respective inner bearings;
- respective radially acting adjusters braced radially between the sleeves and the respective outer bearings for bending the roll;
- and
- rotary drive means for moving the sleeves and adjusters angularly of the frame for adjustment of an angular position of bend of the roll.
