Supporting connections between two rolls

Connecting means between two rolls contacting one another at a pressure plane between said rolls, said rolls being supported on a stand at either end, said connecting means comprising:

• a fixed carrier attached to said stand;
• at least one of said rolls having a roll jacket, said roll jacket of said at least one roll arranged to be mounted on and rotatable about said fixed carrier;
• at least one supporting element being mounted on said fixed carrier and displaceable with respect to said fixed carrier towards and away from said other of said two rolls, said one supporting element acting against said at least one of said rolls for producing pressure toward the other of said rolls along a pressure plane;
• supporting parts at each end of said rolls mounted to said stand;
• each supporting part at one end of said at least one of said rolls being received at said stand for connection to a corresponding supporting part received at a corresponding end of the other of said rolls;
• at least one connecting part for connecting said corresponding supporting parts;
• said at least one connecting part extending between said corresponding supporting parts parallel to said pressure plane between said rolls;
• said at least one connecting part comprising thicker portions at distal ends thereof with a thinner portion therebetween;
• cut-outs in said corresponding supporting parts, said cut-outs having a dimension to permit installation of said at least one connecting part at said thicker portions in said cut-outs in said supporting parts with said thinner part extending between said corresponding supporting parts;
• and,
• said cut-outs of said corresponding supporting parts defining a passage for the removable insertion of said at least one connecting part being carried out in a direction parallel to the roll axis.
