Abstract
An improved rotatable anvil is provided. The anvil is of the type useful to cooperate with a rotatable die cylinder in manufacturing paper blanks and the like. The anvil comprises compressible first (inner), hard second (intermediate) and hard third (outer) concentrically disposed and axially extending layers interbonded upon a core thereof. The second and third layers are of different hardnesses. The anvil is made by providing a hollow cylindrical shell, mounting the shell concentrically about the core, injecting a polymerizable fluid between the shell and core assemblage and holding the mounted assemblage for a time sufficient for substantially complete polymerization.
Claims6
In a cylindrical anvil of the type useful with a rotatable die cylinder having a die board with cutting means thereupon, said anvil being rotatably mounted and spaced from said die cylinder, an improvement comprising:
- an axially extending cylindrical core;
- a compressible first layer being bonded to said core concentrically about and axially extending substantially the entire length of said core;
- a hard second layer being bonded to said first layer concentrically about and axially extending along substantially the entire length of said first layer;
- and,
- a hard third layer concentrically disposed about and axially extending along substantially the entire length of said second layer, said second and third layers being of different hardnesses with said third layer being the harder and having a Rockwell C hardness of at least about 60, said third layer being coated upon said second layer, said second and third layers together being of sufficient construction to be radially inwardly deflectable responsive to forces imposed by said cutting means of die board, said first layer having a bulk compliance sufficient to permit the deflection of said second and third layers.
