Abstract
A conveyor roll adapted for mounting on a shaft comprises a pair of opposed roll halves of a resilient material of semi-cylindrical shape, each having a semi-cylindrical recess. A pair of opposed semi-cylindrical metal insert halves are nested and secured within each roll half and have assembly ends projecting axially outward of the roll halves. Each insert half has an elongated semi-cylindrical recess snugly receiving said shaft. Fasteners interconnect the assembly ends of the inserts securing the inserts together upon the shaft and securing the roll halves together.

A conveyor roll adapted for mounting on a shaft comprising a pair of opposed symmetrical roll halves of a non-metallic resilient material of semi-cylindrical shape with parallel end walls, each roll half having a semi-cylindrical recess;
- a pair of opposed semi-cylindrical metal insert halves nested within and (secured within) bonded to each roll half, respectively and having assembly ends projecting axially outward of said end walls;
- each insert half having an elongated semi-cylindrical recess snugly receiving said shaft;
- and fastening means interconnecting said insert half assembly ends face to face, interconnecting said roll halves face to face and for securing the assembled roll halves and insert halves to said shaft.
