cylindrical body supported on its cylindrical axis for rotation the cylindrical body is formed from a plurality of compacted disk elements of a nonwoven randomly laid entangled mixture of fibers the mixture of fibers includes from about 20 to about 75 polyester fibers and from about 80 to about 25 of cellulose fibers the fiber roll is prepared by a process which includes the steps of forming an integrated nonwoven web from a mixture of cellulose fibers and polyester fibers cutting annular segments from the nonwoven web stacking a plurality of segments onto a rotatable shaft compacting the plurality of segments on the shaft to form a fiber roll and dressing the sides of the compacted disks to form a smooth cylindrical surface application_number US 41386489 A description referring now to the drawings a plurality of annular fiber sheets 11 such as shown in fig1 are cut from a nonwoven web of a randomly laid entangled mixture of cellulose fibers and polyester fibers the sheets 11 are an annulus having a center opening 12 which may have slots 13 to fit over one or more key elements 15 on a support shaft 16 the sheets 11 are stacked onto the support shaft and are compacted on the support shaft to form a fiber roll the compaction is accomplished by the use of a hydraulic press or other suitable compaction force the compacted sheets 11 are retained in place by placing flange rings 17 onto the shaft and tightening locking nuts 19 to generate axial compression the roll of fiber sheets has a relatively low poisson 39 s ratio the fiber sheets of the invention are produced from an integrated nonwoven web of a randomly laid entangled mixture of cellulose fibers and polyester.
