Strip side-guides

Side guides intended for rolling mills in the metallurgical industry, in which a strip is conveyed onto a series of rollers wherein said side-guides are divided in a succession of segments which are placed in an alternation of first and second segments;

• said first segments of a substantially rectangular shape and having a width allowing insertion between two successive rollers
• said second segments intended to be placed above a corresponding roller, said second segments each having a lower end of substantially semicircular shape,
• said first segments between rollers being slightly offset compared to a vertical plane formed by the second segments above the rollers;
• wherein spacing between two opposite first segments placed between the rollers is smaller than spacing between two opposite second segments placed above the rollers.
