Abstract
Apparatus for measuring stress distribution across the width of a flexible strip travelling in the direction of its length, comprising a pick-up deflector roller having a plurality of rings, encased in a tire of flexible material, the edges of the rings being cut away to produce local stress in the tire as compared with a smooth cylindrical roller.

Apparatus for measuring stress distribution across the width of flexible strip travelling in the direction of its length, of the kind comprising a pick-up deflector roller comprising a plurality of closely laterally adjacent rings running with the strip, the strip being angularly deflected under tension, said rings being encased in a common outer cover or tyre comprising a flexible elastic synthetic or natural material, and the peripheral edges of adjoining rings are cut away and the resulting local recesses, as compared with a smooth cylindrical roller surface, are at least partially filled by the material of the outer tire.
