Abstract
A device is disclosed for isolating strips (S1-S12) conveyed next one another in their lengthwise direction, particularly metal strips, having at least one separating unit (N) extending in an axial direction (X), in which each strip (S1-S12) is assigned one guide (F10-F25), which guides each of the strips (S1-S12), inserted in it using positive fit, in a different plane (E1, E2), running essentially parallel to the lengthwise axis (L) of the separating unit (N), than each of the guides (F10-F25) positioned neighboring it. The isolating device disclosed is constructed simply and allows reliable, time-saving isolation of the strips. In addition, advantageous uses of such a device are indicated.

A device for isolating strips (S1-S12), particularly metal strips, conveyed next one another in their lengthwise direction, having at least one separating unit (N) extending in an axial direction (X), in which each strip (S1-S12) is assigned one guide (F10-F25), which, for the purpose of a positive fit, guides each of the strips (S1-S12) inserted in them in a different plane (E1, E2), running essentially parallel to the lengthwise axis (L) of the separating unit (N), than each of the guides (F10-F25) positioned neighboring them, wherein the guides (F10-F25), when strips (S1-S12) are inserted in them, are additionally adjustable from a starting position, in which the strips (S1-S12) have a slight lateral interval, into a separating position, in which a larger lateral interval exists between the strips (S1-S12).
The device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that
- the separating unit (N) includes two rotatably mounted shafts (1, 2), positioned with their axes parallel, between which the strips (S1-S12) are guided, and the guides (F10-F15, F20-F25) for the strips (S1-S12) are implemented on the respective shafts (1, 2) and run around the circumference of the shafts (1, 2).
The device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that
- the guides (F10-F25) of the separating unit (N) are implemented on isolating segments (V10-V110, V20-V210).
The device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that
- the separating unit has a first operating position, in which the strips (S1-S12) lie loosely in their guides. (F10-F25), and a second operating position, in which the strips (S1-S12) are clamped in the guides (F10-F25).
The device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that
- free edges of the guides are phased at least in the region in which they come into contact with the strips.
The device according to claim 12 [sic], characterized in that
- the phasing is performed in the form of a rounding or flattening.
