Abstract: A coil support holds a coil of metal or other material and contains liquid dripping from the coil. The coil support includes a base defining a floor. An upstanding peripheral wall extends from the base. The base and the wall define at least one liquid collection area. The floor has a tapered area whereby liquid dripping onto the tapered area will flow into the collection area. Coil support members on the base support the coil above the floor. The coil support members may be comprised of elastomeric material to minimize damage to the coil.

Abstract: A coil protector for protecting end portions of a coil of metal, paper or other material includes a shield member for protecting an end portion of the coil. The shield member has a central opening and fasteners disposed around the central opening. A retaining member connects the shield member to an end portion of the coil. The retaining member includes a flange portion and a fastening portion extending transverse to the flange portion. The fasteners connect the flange portion to the shield member. The fastening portion has an adjustable size for engaging the inner surface of the coil.
