Patent ID: 8663079

Claim:
A deflection roller for guiding a nonwoven web, said deflection roller comprising: a cylindrically hollow guide jacket formed of a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic; wherein the guide jacket is mounted on two bearings such that the guide jacket rotates relative to a support axle, the support axle extending through the center of the guide jacket; wherein the support axle includes two hubs, and wherein one of the two bearings is mounted on each of the two hubs; wherein the guide jacket is supported by the support axle and capable of rotating relative to the support axle via the two bearings; wherein the guide jacket is rotated relative to the support axle by contact with the nonwoven web on an outer circumferential surface of the guide jacket; wherein the outer circumferential surface of the guide jacket is formed by a wear-resistant layer that is applied to the guide jacket; wherein the wear-resistant layer is electrically conductive; wherein the wear-resistant layer is formed of an electrically conductive coating comprising a hybrid polymer, and the electrical conductivity of the coating being provided by a mixed oxide included in the hybrid polymer; and wherein the mixed oxide includes indium tin-oxide powder.
