Device for transferring elongated material, such as elongated rolled material

摘要

In a device for transferring elongated material (4), especially for the loading and removal of elongated material (4), with a rail line (51) assigned to a treatment station (1), treatment kilns and sets of rollers for feeding and discharge, and on which a carriage (52) with transport means for the elongated material (4) can travel, a plurality of support elements (12) which are adjacent in two cross-sectional planes, extend laterally on the cross-section of the elongated material (18), can be raised and lowered at least in relation to the carriage (52) and can be moved synchronously into and out of the transport position are arranged on the carriage (52), spaced apart one behind the other along a line (13), and support the elongated material (4) in the transport position. In order to design the device so as to be usable by a production workshop under all the material handling conditions which occur, with exact positioning of the elongated material (4) in the treatment stations, it is proposed to make the elongated material (4) transportable by the transport carriage (52) parallel to the direction of travel (19 and/or 19') and to arrange the supporting elements (12) on a line (13) parallel to the direction of travel (19). <IMAGE>
