Abstract
The invention relates to a support for metal coils (1, 11, 31), wherein a metal coil (1, 11, 31) substantially has a circular circumference as viewed in cross section and the support comprises at least three support points (2, 2′, 12, 32), which are arranged in such a manner as to make contact with the metal coil (1, 11, 31) in the circumferential direction of the metal coil (1, 11, 31) when the metal coil (1, 11, 31) is laid on the support. The support permits particularly secure storage and/or transportation.
Claims13
A support for a metal coil (1, 11, 31), wherein the metal coil (1, 11, 13) has essentially a circular cross section with a circular circumference, and the support comprises at least three support points (2, 2′, 12, 32) which are arranged in such a way that they contact the metal coil (1, 11, 31) in the direction of the circumference at least at three points (2, 2′, 12, 32) when the metal coil (1, 11, 31) is placed on these support points (2, 2′, 12, 32), wherein the support comprises two support members (3, 13, 33) on each of which is arranged one support lever (4, 14, 34), and on each support lever (4, 14, 34) are arranged two rollers (2, 12, 32) that form the support points (2, 12, 32) on which the metal coil (1, 11, 31) can be placed, wherein the horizontal spacing between the support members (3, 13, 33) is constructed so as to be adjustable, wherein adjustment of the horizontal spacing between the support members (3, 13, 33) is provided by a piston cylinder adjustment device (5) coupled to the support members (3, 13, 33).
