Abstract
A paper separating roller, including a shaft body, a first friction member and a second friction member is provided. The first friction member covers a first surface of an outer periphery of the shaft body. The second friction member covers a second surface of the outer periphery of the shaft body, wherein the first friction member and the second friction member are formed of two different materials. With the design of the friction members being formed of composite materials, the paper separating roller has the advantages of two different material features at the same time, such that a wider range of performance capabilities can be achieved.
Claims8
A paper separating roller, comprising:
- a shaft body having an outer periphery;
- a first friction member covering a first surface of the outer periphery of the shaft body;
- and
- a second friction member covering a second surface of the outer periphery of the shaft body,
- wherein the first friction member and the second friction member are formed of two different materials,
- wherein the shaft body has a central pivot, a first column and a second column, the first column is located on a first side of the central pivot, the second column is located on a second side of the central pivot, the first side and the second side are opposite to each other, and the first column and the second column both have the first surface and the second surface,
- wherein a first distribution of the first friction member and the second friction member on the first column is symmetric to a second distribution of the first friction member and the second friction member on the second column, wherein the first friction member and the second friction member are two different elastic materials, the first friction member has a first abrasion resistance, the second friction member has a second abrasion resistance different from the first abrasion resistance, and the first abrasion resistance of the first friction member is greater than the second abrasion resistance of the second friction member.
