Abstract: A method produces or machines a roller which is suitable to be used in a machine for producing or processing a fibrous web. The roller contains a roller core and at least one functional layer. The method is characterized in that the method includes the application of a functional layer. The application of the functional layer is performed by applying a coating substrate to the surface of a roller core. The application takes place simultaneously over at least half the roller width, preferably over 75% of the roller width, particularly preferably over the entire roller width. The entire applied coating substrate or parts thereof are hardened, forming a solidified structure.

Abstract: A ski rack with horizontal storage is disclosed which may be removably affixed to a conventional trailer hitch on a vehicle. The ski rack includes a base which is parallel to the rear bumper of the vehicle. The base includes a pair of hinges. A rear carrier is rotatably affixed to the hinges and rotates downward and rearward. A front carrier is complimentary to the rear carrier, but remains substantially vertical Skis or snow boards may be secured between the rear carrier and the front carrier.
