COBBLE RELIEF MECHANISM FOR ROLLING MILL

摘要

A cobble relief mechanism for a rolling mill of a continuous metal casting and rolling system wherein the accumulation of rod within the mill housing is relieved by opening a portion of the housing and allowing the rod to play out of the opening. The housing is opened in response to the buildup of the rod within the housing, and when the rod is allowed to escape from the confines of the housing the hazard of damage to the rolling mill components is reduced and the entangled rod is played out beyond the housing until the operation of the rolling mill is terminated.
