Abstract The mounting of normally superimposed rollers in a roller stand, according to which each bearing housing for each roller has two outwardly extending arms extending in opposite directions with regard to each other, and in which the outer end portions of said arms are each provided with a cut-out for respectively receiving a threaded spindle and allowing the same to pass therethrough. Each of said arms has associated therewith a nut below the respective arm and adjustably mounted on the pertaining spindle, the distance between two spindles which are adjacent to each other being such as to permit withdrawal and insertion of said rollers in the direction of the longitudinal axis of said rollers and together with the pertaining bearing means for the rollers between the last mentioned two spindles.
In combination with a closed calender stand: a plurality of rollers normally vertically superimposed upon each other so that each roller forms a bit with the respective adjacent roller, bearing means arranged at the end portions of each of said rollers for journalling the same, housing means supported by said stand and respectively supporting said bearing means, each of said housing means having two arms extending in opposite directIons with regard to each other, two pairs of adjusting spindles respectively associated with opposite ends of said rollers, each of said arms of each of said housing means having its outer end portion provided with a cut-out all open toward the same direction for receiving one of said adjusting spindles and allowing the latter vertically to pass therethrough, a plurality of nuts respectively adjustably arranged on said spindles, one nut each being arranged below and being associated with one of said arms and being adjustable relative thereto, the spacing between the spindles of one of said pairs of spindles being greater than roller diameter such as clearly to permit withdrawal and insertion of said rollers individually in the direction of their longitudinal axes with the pertaining bearing means between the spindles of said last mentioned pair of spindles, one of said arms being smaller and also passing through space between the spindles along with both the roller and bearing means.
