摘要

"METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR TEMPORARY INTERRUPTING PASSAGE OF LONG PRODUCTS BETWEEN UPWAY AND DOWNWAY PATHWAYS IN A LAMINATION TRAIN". The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for temporarily interrupting the passage of a long product between upstream and downstream paths in a rolling train. The equipment of the present invention comprises: a cylindrical drum positioned between said paths; means for delivering the product to the drum; means for rotating the drum in one direction to accumulate the product therein in a series of turns, and to reverse the direction of rotation of the drum to unwind the accumulated product therein; and means for delivering the unwound product from the drum to the downstream path. The method of the present invention comprises: delivering the product passing along said upstream path in a cylindrical drum; rotate the drum in one direction to accumulate the product in a series of turns; reverse the direction of rotation of the drum to unwind the product accumulated therein; and deliver the unwound product from the drum to the downstream path.
