<p>COIL BREAKAWAY APPARATUS Apparatus is described for detaching individual strip coils from a construct of wound sheet metal web material that has been partially slit along parallel lines to produce parting lines containing frangible connections between adjacent coils. The apparatus includes a mandrel assembly adapted to enter the construct center and carrying fluid operated means for holding the construct and displacing the coil to be detached from the remainder of the construct thereby breaking the connections attaching adjacent coils thus to separate the selected coil from the construct. The apparatus may include a rotatable mount for the detached coil to permit dispensing of the strip material without the need to transfer the detached coil to a separate uncoiler.</p> |
