Abstract: Anvil roll cover structure for a veneer clipper comprising, plural, complementary, molded roll cover sections having curved chevron-cut shapes assembleable in pairs to form a unified, singular, circumsurrounding anvil roll cover segment. The sections which unite to form cover segments are supported internally by curtain-screen, wire-mesh, flex armature components which help to stabilize segment section shapes which are formed by chevron-cutting of initially whole, molded, undivided cover segments. Joinery-accommodating nut, bolt and passage structures operatively associated with pairs of segment sections accommodate assembly of such pairs into full body-of-revolution segments. End-to-end disposed, twin-section segments collaborate to form an overall anvil roll cover.

Abstract: Wear-replaceable resilient cover structure, or jacket, for the known-diameter cylindrical surface of an elongate, known-length anvil roll in a veneer clipper. The cover structure includes an elongate, internal, tubular, cylindrical armature having inside and outside diameters which are each larger than an anvil roll's surface's known diameter, and an elongate, tubular, cylindrical resiliency sleeve which embeddedly receives, and is stabilized by, the armature. The sleeve possesses inside and outside diameters which are, respectively, less than and greater than those of the armature, and the sleeve's inside diameter is sized to promote non-bonding, resistive slide-on/slide-off fitment of the armature-stabilized sleeve relative to a clipper anvil roll's cylindrical surface.
