APPARATUS FOR PULLING THE END FROM A COILOF STRIP Earl-- D.- Spangler,' Gary, Ind., assignor to United States This invention'rel'ates, as indicated, to an'apparatus for opening'coils ofmetal strip. More particularlyit relates to'an apparatus for opening a coil of metal strlp by 1mparting'a reversebend to the free end of its outer convolution for thepurposeof facilitating its being fed to the feed rollsof subsequent processing apparatus. I
The'manufactureof sheet metalcommonly involves a number of processing operations indifferent apparatus 1 according'to the characteristics of the finished'product.
Processing of the strip may require, for example, a further reduction in thickness in a rolling mill, pickling for removal of scale,-coating in tinning or galvanizlng lines,"- coiling in recoile'r's, and the like. To facilitate handling and s'torage,-the strip is wound in coil form as the final step of'each of'these and'similar operations and, in being'wound, "acquires a permanent curvature which'makes theproblem'of threading it through the feed rolls of subsequent processing apparatus rather diificult. In this respect the resiliency of the strip resists peeling of the outer coil convolution or at least the free end thereof and tends to return" it 'to its coiled position. To overcome this tendency,-workmen have attempted to flatten or straighten the free? end manually as "explained in Patent No. 2,387i38'0'to WQA. Zahutnik which discloses a form of apparatus:for.reversebending .thefree end of a coil. Otherrformsof'apparatus for the same purposehave been proposed-in conjunctionwith mandrels and coil boxes of special designbut such proposals have not been adaptable for,use:-with.existinguncoilers, and the practice of man:v

A further object is to provide an apparatus of this character-which is particularly adaptable for application to pres entlyexistinguncoiling boxes and vmandrels or other forms of coil: supports. .To these ends, the coil. opening apparatus of .this. invention provides in conjunction with a sup-.

Figure 1 illustrates diagrammatically thegmanner. in which metal strip'is fed'through pinch'rolls 1 to a rollingi f mill'2 from a coil C which'is 'rotatably supported on a coil box'S. Coils .C of metal strip are supplied by .anendless' conveyor 4 and are transported to the coil box. 3 through a station S at which they are opened rbyihavinga' reversebend formed in the free ends Xof their outer' convolutions in a manner to be described. The station S is comprised of a coil supporting cradle in the form "of a pair of motor driven'blocker rolls 5 and the coil opening 1 The blocker rolls 5 may have a fixed mounting relative to the coil openingapparatus 6 or may be part of a carriage for delivering coils C from the conveyor 4 to' the coil box 3. While the coil opening apparatus 6 of this invention is shown in conjunc tion with blocker rolls 5, it will be understood that the apparatus 6 may'be'provided as a permanent adjunct-of apparatus 6 of this invention.
a coil box 3 Gran uncoilingmandrel.
As best shown in Figure'2, the blocker rolls 5 occupy: spacedparallelpositions and cradle a coil C for rotationthereon with its axis extending horizontally and arranged in a vertical plane-which-is positioned centrally of the blocker rolls 5. Since the blocker rolls 5 have a motor drive (not shown) theycan be operated to rotate thecoil-i" C to a position with its free end X arranged relatively to an anchoring shoe 7 as shown in Figure 2. The anchoring shoe 7 forms a part of the coil opening apparatus 6 andis adapted to have'clamping engagement-with the outer-convolution of the coil C along a line spaced -in- Wardly from its free end X and lying in the vertical diametral plane of the coil C. The shoe 7 is supported in a manner to be described for vertical movement from-its retracted position as shown in Figure 3 to a position in clamping engagement with the outer convolution of a'coil C as shown in Figure 2. In this respect, the solid lin'esin Figure 2 show the operative clamping position'of theshoe' 7 with respect to a coil of the maximum diameterrwhichfli can be. handled by the'apparatus and the brokenlines show the positionwhich it will occupy when moved to "'J' clamping engagementwith a coil of smaller diameter.
The shoe-7 is mounted for vertical movement by a carriage,-designated as a whole by the numeral 8, on a supporting framework 9 which extends axially ofand. is arrangedsymmetrically'with respect to'the rocker. rolls 5 I as best shown in-Fig'ures 2 and 3. Movement of the car-. riage 8 is guided by vertically extending slides 10 which are connected at their lower ends with opposite ends of the shoe7 and have their upper ends secured to the carriage sides 11.

shoe'7 for imparting vertical movement to it and to the carriage 8.
A vacuum operated strip gripping and pulling device, designated as a whole by the numeral 20, is mounted on the carriage 8 both for movement therewith and for movement relative thereto. Its mounting on the carriage 8 comprises a U-shaped frame 21 which has side arms 22 with pivot connections 23 to the carriage 8 at opposite ends of the gripping shoe 7. A pivot 24 connects the gripping device 20 with a mounting part 25 secured to the underside of the frame 21. The pivotal position of the frame 21 and the gripping device 20 carried thereby relative to the carriage 8 is controlled by a fluid pressure motor 27 which completes the mounting of the device 20 on the frame 8. The motor 27 has trunnions 28 projecting from opposite sides thereof which are rotatably supported in arms 29 extending from the sides 11 of the carriage 8 as best shown in Figure 4 to provide a rocking suppolt for the motor 27 on the carriage 8. The motor 27 actuates a piston rod 31 which has its lower end connected by a pivot 32 to a pair of mounting lugs 34 on the frame 21. The rod 31 normally occupies an extended position shown in Figure 2 with the device 20 arranged relative to the shoe 7 for gripping engagement with the strip end X when the shoe 7 is moved into clamping engagement therewith.
The gripping device 20 is a vacuum or suction operated mechanism which has a preferred construction as shown in Figures and 6. It comprises a rectangular center plate 35 which is provided with a rubber flange 36 about its periphery and a clamp 37 for securing the flange 36 against the plate 35. The flange 36 has a downwardly turned lip 38 around its outer edge for sealing engagement with the surface of the strip to be pulled thereby. An opening 39 in the plate 35 is connected with a conduit 40 (see Figure 2) for applying vacuum to the gripping device 20. Mounting lugs 41 projecting upwardly from the plate 35 have openings 42 for the reception of the ends of the pivot pin 24 which connects the device 20 to the frame 21 and thereby to the carriage 8. While a vacuum operated gripping and pulling device 20 has been shown in the drawings, it will be understood that one which is electromagnetically operated may be substituted if desired.
The operation of the apparatus is controlled by the motors 14 and 27 which are conventional double acting fluid pressure motors of the expansible chamber type and have the usual reversing control valves for effecting actuation of their piston rods between retracted and extended positions. In the normal condition of the apparatus 6, the motor 14 holds its piston rod 15 and the shoe 7 in the retracted position shown in Figure 3, and the motor 27 holds its rod 31 and the gripping device 20 in the extended position relative to the shoe 7 as shown in Figure 2. After emplacement of a coil C in the cradle rocker rolls 5 with its free end X located as shown in Figure 2, the motor 14 is operated to lower the carriage 8. This move ment of the carriage 8 moves the shoe 7 into clamping engagement with the outer coil convolution which is thus held tightly against the body of the coil C. At the same time, the device 20 moves into engagement with the free end X of the strip and grips it when vacuum is applied through the conduit 40 under the control of suitable valve mechanism (not shown). While the shoe 7 is held clamped against the outer convolution of the coil C, the gripping device 20 is moved outwardly to bend the end X about the shoe 7. This is effected by operating the motor 27 to move its rod 31 to retracted position and pull the device 20 outwardly by pivoting the frame 21 relative to the carriage 8. This results in movement of the parts of the apparatus 6 to the relative positions shown in Figure 1 and pulls the free end X of the strip outwardly from the body of the coil C. The vacuum connection to the device 20 through the conduit 40 is then interrupted to loosen its gripping engagement with the strip end X and the motors 14 and 27 are then operated to return the parts of the apparatus 6 to the relative positions shown in Figure 2 for another coil opening operation. Since the end X is bent about the shoe 7 upon movement of the gripping device relative thereto to the position shown in Figure 1, a reverse bend is formed in the end X at its point of engagement with the shoe 7 which is effective to hold the end X outwardly from the coil after it is released from engagement by the parts 7 and 20. This of course facilitates threading the end X through the pinch or feed rolls 1 for a rolling mill 2 or other strip processing apparatus.
While one embodiment of my invention has been shown and described it will be apparent that other adaptations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the following claims.
