Abstract
A method of preparing a cylindrical corrugated article, comprising supplying a sheet material in between a pair of rotatable forming rolls having interlocking corrugated surfaces thereby to press and corrugate said sheet material, mounting the resulting corrugated article on the rounded surface of one of said forming rolls by means of a guide member, and then discharging the thus mounted cylindrical corrugated article from said forming roll.
Claims3
A method of manufacturing a cylindrical corrugated article, comprising the steps of;
- providing a pair of oppositely rotatable forming rolls having interlocking corrugated surfaces;
- supplying a sheet material between said pair of rolls to cause corrugation of the sheet material by pressing it with the corrugated surfaces of said pair of rolls as they rotate;
- providing a ring-like guide structure positioned in surrounding relationship to and slightly spaced from the circumference of one of said rolls;
- guiding the leading edge of said sheet, after it passes between the interlocking corrugated surfaces of the rolls, beneath the guide structure for causing the corrugated sheet to coil around said one roll to thereby form a cylindrical corrugated article;
- relatively moving the pair of rolls transversely away from one another to effectively disengage the interlocking corrugations thereof after the corrugated article has been coiled around said one roll;
- and then
- discharging the cylindrical corrugated article from said one roll.

- discharging the cylindrical corrugated article from said one
- providing a cylindrical member with a substantially smooth rounded outer surface;
- supporting said cylindrical member on a holder which permits the outer surface to be exposed;
- providing an adhesive on the outer surface of said cylindrical member;
- fitting the discharged cylindrical corrugated article externally around the cylindrical member when the latter is supported on the holder so that the inside ridges of the corrugations of said corrugated cylindrical article adhesively adhere to the rounded outer surface of said cylindrical member, thereby forming a composite cylindrical structure;
- and
- discharging the composite cylindrical structure from the holder.
