Abstract: Independent installation for discharging, storing and transferring products, such as steelworks products, which comprises fixed beams on which rest the products to be handled, and moveable beams placed between the fixed beams and driven in a rectangular cycle of displacement, each moveable beam comprises, at one of its ends, a discharging arm or fingers so that when a product taken from among those stored on the fixed beams is being transferred, said product rests on the end of said fingers and can be displaced and transferred to a discharging or removal zone in a manner entirely independent of the products which remain stored on said fixed beams.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing the outer quenching and the inner quenching of tubular pieces, notably of steel tubes, characterized in that it includes successively, in the advancement direction of the tubes:slanting rollers allowing the tubes delivered continuously to move forward successively by rotating about their axis;an outer quenching system;a clamping and locking system for the tube;a retractable carrier supporting an injection lance for carrying out the inner quenching, said carrier being provided with said clamping and locking system for the tube;means allowing the carrier to move backward with the tube clamping system in order to accompany said tube in movement while the outer quenching is carried out; andretractable rollers which come in position to support the tube as the carrier moves backward while disengaging the tube from the outer quenching system.
