ABSTRACT:
A separable roller sleeve, and methods of making and installing the same, to be provided as original equipment or alternately provide either a roller conveyor retrofit or replacement roller sleeve installation capability for both powered and idler rollers on the input and output sides of a typical roll conveying machine generally of that type employed in a shear line to accomplish movement of reinforcing rods to and from a cutting station, where the separable roller sleeve is fabricated either in the form of or from a section of resilient thick walled tubular material having an inside diameter slightly larger than that of the outside diameter of the roller to which it is to be installed and cut to the roller length, which tubular material member is then converted to a separable roller sleeve by providing therethrough a longitudinally extending compression closing spiral wall separation from one end thereof to the other whereby the spirally separable roller sleeve thus formed may then be twistably opened manually and thereby oriented and enclosably installed upon the bare conveyor roller to be covered, and upon manual release being retained upon the roller in protective operational disposition by the tubular member material memory return of the longitudinally extending spiral separation therein to a compression closing, thereby providing a protective roller sleeve in an installed operational disposition upon a conveyor roller without having to either remove or cut and replace the roller to accomplish the installation.
