Abstract

A conveyor roller for conveying systems for conveying articles comprises a cylindrical roller body having a rotation axis, the cylindrical roller body being provided for the rotatable assembly in a frame or the like, wherein one or a plurality of substantially frustoconical sleeves is/are disposed on the cylindrical roller body. The cylindrical conveyor roller includes a positioning installation by which the frustoconical sleeve is axially fixed at least along the rotation axis in at least one direction, wherein the positioning installation comprises a protrusion which axially extends in a radially outward manner on the cylindrical roller body and which extends into a clearance that is configured in the frustoconical sleeve.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A conveyor roller for conveyor systems for conveying articles comprising:
a cylindrical roller body having a rotation axis, the cylindrical roller body being adapted for rotatable assembly in a frame;
a first frustoconical sleeve disposed on the cylindrical roller body; and
a positioning installation comprising a protrusion extending radially outward from the cylindrical roller body, wherein the protrusion is inserted in a first clearance in an external surface of the cylindrical roller body and a second clearance in the first frustoconical sleeve and whereby the first frustoconical sleeve is axially fixed at least along the rotation axis in at least one direction;
wherein the protrusion extends outward without establishing a fluidic connection between an interior space of the cylindrical roller body and the environment; and
wherein the positioning installation fixed the frustoconical sleeve in a form-fitting manner.

2. The conveyor roller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first clearance or the second clearance comprises a groove having a groove base.

3. A conveyor roller for conveyor systems for conveying articles comprising:
a cylindrical roller body having a rotation axis, the cylindrical roller body being adapted for rotatable assembly in a frame;
a first frustoconical sleeve disposed on the cylindrical roller body; and
a positioning installation comprising a protrusion extending radially outward from the cylindrical roller body, wherein the protrusion is inserted in a first clearance in an external surface of the cylindrical roller body and a second clearance in the first frustoconical sleeve and whereby the first frustoconical sleeve is axially fixed at least along the rotation axis in at least one direction, wherein the first clearance, the second clearance, and the protrusion are disposed in a widened region of the first frustoconical sleeve.

4. A conveyor roller for conveyor systems for conveying articles comprising:
a cylindrical roller body having a rotation axis, the cylindrical roller body being adapted for rotatable assembly in a frame;
a first frustoconical sleeve disposed on the cylindrical roller body; and
a positioning installation comprising a protrusion extending radially outward from the cylindrical roller body, wherein the protrusion is inserted in a first clearance in an external surface of the cylindrical roller body and a second clearance in the first frustoconical sleeve and whereby the first frustoconical sleeve is axially fixed at least along the rotation axis in at least one direction, wherein the first clearance, the second clearance, and the protrusion are radially covered by a second frustoconical sleeve which is disposed on and adjoins the first frustoconical sleeve on the cylindrical roller body.
