Patent ID: 8241192

Claim:
A sheet or film-forming roll comprising: an inner cylinder member having an elastic cylindrical body and axial parts extending along a center axis of the elastic cylindrical body, the inner cylinder member being rotatably supported through the axial parts; an elastic outer cylinder member arranged eccentrically to the inner cylinder member so that an inner circumferential surface of the elastic outer cylinder member comes into contact with a part of the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder member, the elastic outer cylinder member being provided with a thin-walled structure and made from metal; a gear mechanism for transmitting rotating torque of the inner cylinder member to the elastic outer cylinder member when the inner cylinder member is rotated; a pair of eccentric side plates fitted to the axial parts of the inner cylinder member rotatably to support the elastic outer cylinder member rotatably; and whirl-stop parts for preventing the side plates from being whirled, each of which has a mechanism capable of setting a whirl-stop position of the side plate in a circumferential direction thereof variably.
