ROLLED STRIP ACCUMULATING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B21B41/10 

FIELD: apparatuses for accumulating rolled strip used in continuous tube welding and shape bending aggregates.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes vertical shaft; drive pulling rollers with bases mounted in staggered fashion on cross beams. Said cross beams and roller bases are in the form of common frames. Lateral centering rollers are mounted in said frames at both sides from drive pulling rollers with possibility of adjusting along width of rolled piece. Levers rotated from drive unit and carrying idle rollers are also mounted in frames. Arm value of said lever is selected in range of elastic deformation of accumulated rolled strip. Levers with idle rollers may be placed in different position by means of drive unit depending upon volume of accumulated strip.

EFFECT: simplified design, lowered metal consumption, reduced cost of making and maintaining apparatus, enhanced operational reliability, increased volume of accumulated strip, possibility for accumulated rolled strip of wide assortment.
