No. 241,305 15 Claims. (Cl. 29=-129) This invention relates to improvements in roll covers, and, more particularly, to covers comprised of polylactams and methods for applying the same to a roll.
The invention is directed particularly to the formation of substantially stress-free polylactam roll covers by utilizing low temperature anionic polymerization processes for casting the polylactam covers, in situ, over the rolls. Rolls having these polylactamcovers are particularly well adapted for use, for example, as back-up rolls against which paper articles may be cut; printing rolls; paper drive rolls; hold-down rolls for use in the steel industry; and rolls for various uses in embossing, calendering, and otherwise pressing deformable soft goods.
Due to the volumetric and/ or thermal shrinkage that occurs during the polymerization of lactams, stresses are developed in the polymerizing material as it shrinks around the roll; Whilesome degree of shrinkage is desirable to enable firm attachment of the cover to the.
roll, unduly high stresses must be relieved or they will cause fracture of the polylactam roll'as, for example, by stressing and crazing.
Accordingly, it is an object ofthis invention to provide and a roll enclosingsleeve, in longitudinal section, with the roll shown in elevation and showing, also, a means for introducing into the mold the hereinafter described lactam or lactams which form upon polymerization, the polylactam cover on and around the roll.

gether can form a ring system through a divalent linking;

This polymerization of the higher lactams is initiated at temperatures of from about the melting point of the lactam monomer to about 250 C., and preferably from about to about 200 C. As the reaction is exothermic, the initiation temperature will be exceeded under most conditions. The amount of catalyst and promoter compound each can vary from about 0.01 to about 20 mole percent, preferably from about 0.05 to about 5 mole percent, and more preferably still from about 0.1:
to about 1 mole percent, all based on the higher lactam being polymerized. The higher lactams preferably contain from 6 to 20 carbon atoms and more preferably contain from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The anionic catalyst preferably is a Grignard compound or an alkali metal and hydrides thereof. It will be understood that the anionic catalyst can be reacted in stoichiometric amount with a higher lactam to form a salt thereof, such as sodium caprolactam and said salt can then be employed in the polymerization process in an equivalent amount to the anionic catalyst as set out hereinabove. This preliminary preparation is particularly desirable as it permits ready removal of hydrogen gas from-the system as when sodium or sodium hydride is employed, removal of water as when sodium hydroxide is employed, removal of water and carbon dioxide as when sodium carbonate is employed,
etc. Isocyanates and N-substituted imides are the preferred promoter compounds. It will be understood that the use of acid chlorides effects the presence of HCl in the system which preferably is removed therefrom to pre-v clude reaction with the anionic catalyst, whereby extra catalyst would otherwise be required. Similarly acid anhydrides generate organic acids in the system which In carrying out the present invention the nylon cover.
is applied to a roll or similar body by means of a suitable mold in which the roll is positioned and into which the lactam monomer, conditioned for polymerization, as hereinafter described, is introduced.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, where the nylon cover is applied to a roll body, the surface of the roll is initially longitudinally grooved whereby to effect, as hereinafter described, the tight encasement of the roll by the nylon, in a condition free of stress.
Referring particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the numeral generally designates a mold into which the lactam is introduced. This mold is here illustrated as being in the form of a cylinder of the required.
size to receive the roll around which the nylon sleeve is to be formed.
The cylindrical wall of the mold is designated 12 and. the mold is here shown as having a bottom 14 and since the roll is illustrated as having end journals, the bottom wall of the mold is shown as having an opening 16 whereby the lower end of the roll may be supported in the mold by or upon the bottom wall of the latter.
A suitable gasket is located upon the bottom wall of the mold, upon which the lower end of the roll may rest. This gasket may be formed of any suitable material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, or the like, and functions to prevent the lactam from covering the lower end of the roll. This gasket or seal interposed between the bottom end of the roll and the bottom of the mold, is generally designated 17.
The roll to which the cover is applied, is generally designated 18 and as shown it has the end trunnions 20.
The roll face is provided with the longitudinally extending flutes 22 whereby there are formed the longi tudinal splines 24.
Around the splined roll is placed a sleeve 26 of a light gauge sheet metal and of a suitable soft or ductile char acter into the flutes or grooves of which the sleeve is pressed or deformed,'under the force exerted radially or" the roll by the polymerizing lactam due to the contraction or shrinkage which occurs in the reaction.
The lactam'may be in one of several conditions, as il lustrated in the following examples, when it is introduced into the mold. Accordingly, the following examples are set forth.
Example I The lactam containing the initiator or promoter and the catalyst is heated to about 160 C. to start the reaction.
When the reaction begins and polymerization is started, the mix is introduced into the mold.
To facilitate the introduction of the mix in a manner to prevent formation of bubbles which might be held in the completed nylon cover, a tube or pipe such as that indicated at 28 may be extended to the bottom of the mold and through this the mixture is introduced and the pipe will be graduallywithdrawn as the mold fills. This procedure prevents the development of turbulence which might otherwise produce bubbles which would be trapped in the finished nylon cover.
Preferably the flutes or grooves are of uniform size all around and are relatively small so that the stress will be uniformly distributed around the roll and against the sleeve 26.
The area of the grooves may be determined by calculating, or otherwise determining, the volume of the mold and allowing for shrinkage of the cover on completion of the polymerization of the lactam. This shrinkage may vary considerably depending on the mold configuration'and surface adhesion to the mold walls.
Example II The epsilon caprolactam monomer containing the initiator or promoter and the catalystis poured into the mold without preliminary heating. The mold may then be heated by any suitable means to raise the temperature of the mix and after the reaction has started it will go to completion in the mold as in Example I.
Example 111 The epsilon caprolactam.monomer having only the initiator or promoter therein is introduced into the mold after first being heated to raise the temperature thereof to. approximately 170 C. The catalyst is then introduced. The 170 C. temperature is above that where polymerization starts and accordingly when the catalyst is introduced the polymerization reaction will commence and go to completion in the manner above stated.
When the polymerization reaction goes to completion and the shrinkage takes place, the radial stress applied to the sleeve 26 will bend or distort the sleeve into the flutes or grooves as indicated at 30, thus relieving the stress and leaving the cover 32 relatively stress free.
As hereinbefore stated the light gauge sheet metal sleeve may be of any suitable ductile material such as soft aluminum, lead or other-suitable yieldable metallic or non-metallic material.
In place of grooving the roll and enclosing the same in a sleeve or cylinder in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, whereby the yieldable or distortable sleeve is forced or pushed into the grooves as the polymerizing or crystallizing action occurs, the smooth or ungrooved surface of the roll may have interposedbetween it and a sleeve of soft yieldable material, a plurality of light gauge bendable spacer members or clips which will yield and spread as the radial compressive force is applied during the crystallization of the reacting material.
FIG. 4 illustrates a smooth surfaced roll, in cross section, generally designated-34. This roll when placed in the mold 12 has placed about it a light gauge readily deformable sleeve 36, corresponding to the hereinbefore described sleeve 26, and this sleeve 36 has secured to its inner surface a plurality of longitudinally extending strips 38 of channel form. These strips, 38, of thin readily bent or deformable metal have the central back portions 40 thereof secured or joined'to the inner surface of the sleeve 36 with the leg portions 42 extending in divergent relation toward and resting against the smooth surface of the roll as shown in FIG. 4.
As the polymerizing or crystallizing lactam mix contracts in the mold around the outer side of the sleeve 36 the radial stress applied to the sleeve will distort and force the sleeve 36 inwardly toward the roll and at the same time the pressure applied to the channel strips 38 will cause thelegs 42 of the strips to spread apart sothat the stress will gradually be relieved.
FIG. 5 illustrates a cross section corresponding to FIG. 4, of the roll, the sleeve and the nylon cover, illustrating the action described wherein the yieldable channeled strips 38 are distorted toward a flattened condition. The nylon cover is here generally designated44 and as shown, where any in-blowing of the sleeve occurs, the nylon material will follow as illustrated.
FIGS. 7, 8, and 9 illustrate the method of carrying out the present invention by employing a corrugated slefive of thin soft or ductile metalaround the smoothed r0 er.
In these figures the numeral 50 generally designates the mold which is here shown, as in the preceding fig-.
ures, as being in the form of a circular cylinder. The side or vertical wall of the mold is designated 52 while the bottom is designated 54 andis shown as having an opening 56, if required, through which a trunnion 58 at the end of the roll 60 may extend.
The numeral 62 designates the sealing gasket interposed between the bottom of the mold and the bottom end of the roll.
In this embodiment of the invention the roll is or may be smooth surfaced.
The numeral 64 designates the sleeve of thin metal. This sleeve, as shown in FIG. 8, most clearly, is corrugated or fluted longitudinally.
The corrugated thin metal sleeve in effect combines in this embodiment of the invention, the functions of the corrugations or flutes formed in the surface of the roll and of the light gauge readily bendable or deformable spacermembers or strips 38.-
When the nylon material shrinks or contracts after being introduced into the mold 50, the flutes or channels of the sleeve 62 on the roller side of the sleeve provide the spacing which is taken up by the crushing or compressing of the sleeve, to relieve the stress or strain built up in the nylon cover.
FIG. 9 illustrates the nylon cover, in cross section. The cover is here designated 64 and it will be seen that the sleeve 66 has the flutes thereof mashed or deformed. Thus the stress of the sleeve will be relieved so as to leave the sleeve relatively stress free and the crumpled or compressed form of the sleeve will also establish a tight or strong coupling between the sleeve and the surface of the roll.
In these last figures the numeral 68 designates the filling tube which, as hereinbefore stated, is gradually with drawn as the mixture is introduced and the mold fills, so that the formation of air spaces or bubbles in the cover is avoided.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the invention here illustrated and described provides a roll cover of nylon which is comparatively stress-free. If undue stresses are not relieved in the roll, it will crack and stresscraze in operation or when the roll is being machined to dimensional tolerances. On the other hand, it is not always desired that the cover be completely relieved of all stress as it is desired that a force be exerted by the roll cover against the roll in order to lock it into position so that there will be no relative motion between the roll and the cover in operation, such as in the calendering of paper.
As this invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, the present embodiment is therefore illustrative and not restrictive, since the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than by the description preceding them, and all changes that fall Within the metes and bounds of the claims or that form their functional as well as conjointly cooperative equivalents, are therefore intended to be embraced by those claims.
