ROLLED PIECES ACCUMULATING AND DISCHARGING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B21B39/00 B21C49/00 B65G57/18 

FIELD: rolling equipment, namely apparatuses for accumulating and discharging rolled pieces for treating them before next manufacturing procedure.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus for accumulating and discharging rolled pieces includes at least two struts; device for piecewise placing rolled pieces mounted with possibility of vertical motion; transporting roller table arranged between said struts. Struts are in the form of portals rigidly joined one to other through framework supporting drive units for vertical motion of said device. Said drive units are in the form of electric motors and reduction gears, for example cone reduction gears. Struts are provided with vertical guides for mounting carriages with possibility of motion. Device for piecewise placing of rolled pieces is in the form of flexible members arranged in vertical direction by several rows. Ends of each flexible member are secured to respective carriage at pitch allowing to place rolled pieces. Said device may be in the form of metallic sheet rigidly secured to carriage and having horizontal and vertical rows of openings for rolled pieces. Portals in low part are provided with two idle and two driven running wheels that may be moved from drive unit in direction normal relative to transporting roller table along rail tract mounted on foundation. Invention provides possibility for accumulating large-size rolled products and tubes, semi-cylindrical tube blanks of large diameter and also small-size rolled pieces and for delivering such rolled products.

EFFECT: reduced size, simplified maintenance of apparatus, lowered metal consumption for making apparatus.
