and 16 which are arranged in cutouts or recesses 17 and 18 of the side elements 14 which are open upwardly or towards the side and extend essentially perpendicular to the axial direction o of the rolls the bearing blocks 15 at the opposite ends of the solid roll 1 are provided with slide or antifriction bearings 20 in which there are mounted the rotatable bearing pins or journals 21 of the roll 1 the opposed ends of the support 3 are supported in openings or bores 22 of each bearing block 16 and they are prevented from rotating relative to the bearing blocks by any suitable and therefore not particularly illustrated arresting or blocking means each bearing block 15 is supported at its associated side element 14 upon a machine worked bearing or contact surface 23 and is prevented from carrying out lateral movement by a fitting or adjustment spring 24 or equivalent structure the bearing block 15 is held from above by means of a yoke 25 or the like and which is fixedly threadably connected at the side element 14 by means of screws or threaded bolts 26 or equivalent fastening expedients and forms a closure element enclosing the cutout or recess 17 the bearing block 16 is supported upon a part or member 27 which is movably guided at the side element or portion 14 part 27 has a support or contact surface 28 this part 27 is supported by suitable elastic elements such as plate springs 30 against stepped stop or impact surfaces 31 the plate springs 30 have a spring force which is larger than the maximum permissible operating.
