Abstract
Abstract A device for separating the rollers of a calender with a suspended spindle held at its upper end on the calender frame or the uppermost roller bearing on each calender side with supporting members which are adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the spindle and which when lifting the rollers from each other abut from below against supporting parts of the roller bearings and are adapted to be secured against rotation. The suspended spindle is divided into screw elements which respectively are associated with each intermediate roller and which have their end sections provided with threaded sections oriented in opposite directions. These screw elements are adjustable independently of each other. The supporting members provided between the threaded sections oriented in opposite directions are adjustable toward and away from the supporting parts of the roller bearings.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A calender comprising two oppositely located calender sides spaced from each other in horizontal direction, two series of superimposed and vertically adjustable bearing means respectively supported by said calender sides, two series of superimposed calender rollers respectively supported by said bearing means, two suspension spindles respectively associated with said two series of superimposed bearing means and suspended on said calender, each of said suspension spindles comprising a plurality of vertically arranged screw means respectively associated individually with the calender rollers between the uppermost and lowermost calender rollers, each two vertically successive ones of said screw means comprising a sleeve memeber with an inner lefthand thread and a righthand threaded screw bolt, and also comprising a sleeve member with a righthand thread and a lefthand threaded screw bolt meshing with the respective adjacent lefthand threaded sleeve member, each of said screw means including an abutment member interposed between and fixedly connected to the sleeve member and the screw bolt of the respective one and the same screw means, and each sleeve member and the screw bolt threadedly engaging the latter being adjustable at will relative to each other for selectively moving the respective abutment member pertaining thereto toward and away from the respective adjacent bearing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
A calender comprising two oppositely located calender sides spaced from each other in horizontal direction, two series of superimposed and vertically adjustable bearing means respectively supported by said calender sides, two series of superimposed calender rollers respectively supported by said bearing means, two suspension spindles respectively associated with said two series of superimposed bearing means and suspended on said calender, each of said suspension spindles comprising a plurality of vertically arranged screw means respectively associated individually with the calender rollers between the uppermost and lowermost calender rollers, each two vertically successive ones of said screw means comprising a sleeve memeber with an inner lefthand thread and a righthand threaded screw bolt, and also comprising a sleeve member with a righthand thread and a lefthand threaded screw bolt meshing with the respective adjacent lefthand threaded sleeve member, each of said screw means including an abutment member interposed between and fixedly connected to the sleeve member and the screw bolt of the respective one and the same screw means, and each sleeve member and the screw bolt threadedly engaging the latter being adjustable at will relative to each other for selectively moving the respective abutment member pertaining thereto toward and away from the respective adjacent bearing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
