Abstract
A lightweight inexpensive metal rolling apparatus for sheet metal including a lightweight elongate frame, a series of forming rolls secured to shaft's journaled in metal roller wheels secured to the frame and depending therefrom, and a second series of metal-forming rolls operatively positioned in association with the first by metal bars adjustably engaging said metal wheels and dependant therefrom and having shafts fixedly connected thereto and extending therebetween. Inlet guide means are provided for the metal strip and an outlet adjustable roller guide is provided to aid in forming an accurate, straight end product.
Claims6
In a strip metal rolling apparatus, a frame means including opposed side members, several pairs of metal wheel members fixedly secured to opposed portions of said side members and depending therefrom, a shaft carrying an upper forming roll thereon journalled in and extending between each of said pairs of metal wheel members, a plurality of roll mounting bars, each secured to and extending between pairs of adjacent metal wheel members positioned on the same one of said side members, means securing each of said bars to said pairs of said wheel members for vertical adjusting movement, a positioning shaft carrying a lower forming roll thereon fixedly secured to and extending between opposed forward sections of a pair of laterally opposed bars and a second lower roll carrying shaft similarly secured to and extending between rearward portions of said bars, said upper and lower forming rolls being operatively associated in operative paris in the apparatus.
In strip metal rolling apparatus for forming an end member having a vertical and a horizontal flange therein, a frame having opposed side members, an end guide roll journalled on a support and positioned to engage the flanges of the end member, said guide roll defining a vertical plane, a horizontally positioned guide roll having a vertical axis, a cantilevered cross bar secured at one end to one of said side members and extending at its other end to the other of said side members, and a vertically extending shaft having said last named guide roll journalled thereon depending from said cross bar and operatively engaging the vertical flange of said end member adjacent said first named guide roll to aid in straightening said end member as it moves along the apparatus.
