Veneer clipper roll cover with curtain-screen armature

Abstract

Anvil roll cover structure for a veneer clipper comprising, plural, complementary, molded roll cover sections having curved chevron-cut shapes assembleable in pairs to form a unified, singular, circumsurrounding anvil roll cover segment. The sections which unite to form cover segments are supported internally by curtain-screen, wire-mesh, flex armature components which help to stabilize segment section shapes which are formed by chevron-cutting of initially whole, molded, undivided cover segments. Joinery-accommodating nut, bolt and passage structures operatively associated with pairs of segment sections accommodate assembly of such pairs into full body-of-revolution segments. End-to-end disposed, twin-section segments collaborate to form an overall anvil roll cover.
