Abstract
A tubular core assembly for a roll of paper or other sheet material has a hollow cylindrical core member formed by multiple wraps of paperboard material, and an annular collar is located within each opposite end portion of the core member, each collar being a rigid body of non-isotropic material having an outer annular surface secured to the inner annular surface of the core member. An annular end member of metal or plastic material has a sleeve portion within the collar at each end of the tubular core assembly, the sleeve portion having an outer annular surface secured to the inner annular surface of the collar and an inner annular surface shaped to receive a roll supporting chuck.

A tubular core assembly for a roll of paper or other sheet material comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical core member formed by multiple wraps of paperboard material,
- an annular collar within each opposite end portion of the core member,
- each collar being a rigid body of non-isotropic material and having an outer annular surface secured to the inner annular surface of the core member,
- an annular end member of metal or plastic material having a sleeve portion within the collar at each end of the tubular core assembly, said sleeve portion having an outer annular surface secured to the inner annular surface of the collar and an inner annular surface shaped to receive a roll supporting chuck,
- the sleeve portion of each end member having a pair of diametrically-opposite radially-projecting lugs at the respective end of the tubular core assembly, the core member and each collar have a pair of diametrically-opposite lug-receiving notches at each respective end receiving said lugs to facilitate transmission of torque and axial chuck pressure from the end member to the core member, and each collar and end member sleeve portion each having a recess extending inwardly from the ends thereof at the respective end of the tubular core assembly providing a notch to receive a projection on a roll supporting chuck, said projection-receiving notch being located circumferentially mid-way between said pair of lug notches.
A tubular core assembly for a roll of paper or other sheet like material comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical core member formed by multiple wraps of paperboard material,
- an annular end member of metal or plastic material within each opposite end portion of the core member, each end member having an outer annular surface secured to the inner annular surface of the core member and an inner annular surface shaped to receive a roll supporting chuck,
- each end member having a pair of radially-projecting lugs at diametrically opposite positions at the respective end of the tubular core assembly, and said core member having a pair of lug-receiving notches at diametrically opposite positions at each end receiving said lugs of the respective end member to facilitate transmission of torque and axial chuck pressure from the end member to the core member, and
- each end member having a notch extending inwardly from the respective end of the tubular core assembly for receiving a projection on a roll supporting chuck, said projection-receiving notch being located circumferentially mid-way between said pair of lug notches.
A tubular core assembly for a roll of paper or other sheet like material comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical core formed by multiple wraps of paperboard material,
- an annular end member of metal or plastic material within each opposite end portion of the core member, each annular end member having an outer annular surface secured to the inner annular surface of the core member,
- an annular collar within the annular end member at each end of the tubular core assembly, each collar being of non-isotropic material and having an outer surface secured to the inner annular surface of the end member and an inner annular surface shaped to receive a roll supporting chuck,
- each end end member having at least one radially outwardly projecting lug at the respective end of the tubular core assembly, the core member having at least one lug-receiving notch at each respective end receiving the or each outwardly- projecting lug, and each end member also having at least one radially inwardly projecting lug at a respective end of the tubular core assembly, the collar having at least one lug-receiving notch at the respective end receiving the or each inwardly-projecting lug,
- said outwardly and inwardly projecting lugs facilitating the transmission of torque and axial chuck pressure from the collars to the core member.
