Abstract
Abstract A metallic cylindrical mandrel is covered with short cylindrical fiber shells and is used for high temperature applications. The shells are fabricated of aluminum silicate fibers with a binder and are independent of each other to permit relative movement between the shells and the cylinder due to thermal expansion and bending.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A high temperature roller comprising an elongated cylindrical metal mandrel, a series of relatively short monolithic shell sub-assemblies each mounted on said mandrel, each sub-assembly being fabricated of fibers taken from the group comprising aluminum silicate, glass, or mineral wool and a binder, structural spacers inserted between adjacent monolithic sub-assemblies and separating said sub-assemblies whereby transverse bending of said mandrel will be accommodated by relative angular shifting of said sub-assemblies, and means holding said sub-assemblies on said mandrel while accommodating differences in thermal expansion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A high temperature roller comprising an elongated cylindrical metal mandrel, a series of relatively short monolithic shell sub-assemblies each mounted on said mandrel, each sub-assembly being fabricated of fibers taken from the group comprising aluminum silicate, glass, or mineral wool and a binder, structural spacers inserted between adjacent monolithic sub-assemblies and separating said sub-assemblies whereby transverse bending of said mandrel will be accommodated by relative angular shifting of said sub-assemblies, and means holding said sub-assemblies on said mandrel while accommodating differences in thermal expansion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination according to claim 1, said structural spacers having inside diameters closely adjacent the shaft diameter whereby the spacers will be locked to the shaft during operation of the roller.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The combination according to claim 1, said separating means having inside diameters which are free from said mandrel, said holding means comprising take-up means at one end of said mandrel exerting an axial force on said shells with respect to said mandrel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The combination according to claim 3, said mandrel being smooth and coated with a release agent to prevent bonding of said shells thereto.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The combination according to claims 1 or 4, said shells being coated on their inside diameters with a reinforcing material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The combination according to claim 3, said take-up means comprising a sleeve on said mandrel and a helical coil compression spring exerting an axial force on said sleeve.
