END SUPPORT FOR WOUND ROLLS

摘要

An end support for supporting a roll of material wound on a tubular core is defined by a generally rectangular plate and a projecting hub member. The hub is dimensioned for insertion into a tubular core material roll. A plurality of spaced plate ribs are provided internally within the plate with at least one rib extending inwardly from each of the plate side perpendicular to the hub member. A plurality of crossing ribs are also provided and intersect with the perpendicular plate ribs and other crossing ribs to define a generally open areas lattice pattern. A plurality of corrugation surfaces are fixed to one or more of the side members, corner members, hub member, crossing ribs and plate ribs and extend into the open areas of the lattice pattern. The corrugations surfaces are alternately formed along the front and rear faces of the plate.

1. An end support for supporting a roll of material wound on a tubular core in a substantially horizontal orientation, the end support comprising:
a substantially planar plate member having a front face and a rear face, the front face and rear face being spaced from one another, the plate having an outer flange defining a number of side surfaces and the side surfaces arranged to form a generally rectangular periphery, the flange extending transverse to the plane of the plate, and an internal area defined within the periphery of the flange; a substantially circular hub member having an outer dimension defined for insertion into a tubular core of a wound roll of material, the hub centrally positioned within the internal area of the plate and projecting outwardly in a perpendicular direction from front face and the plane of the plate; a plurality of spaced plate ribs formed transverse to the plane of the plate and positioned within the internal area, the plate ribs extending inwardly from the outer flange to the hub, a plurality of open areas defined between the plate ribs within the internal area of the plate, and at least one rib extending substantially perpendicular to each rectangular side edge of the flange periphery, the perpendicular side ribs aligned with a radius of the circular hub; and a plurality of corrugation surfaces fixed to the ribs and extending from the ribs at least partially into the open area between the ribs, the corrugation surfaces alternately formed along the front and rear faces of the plate.
