  • Metal frame for metal coils to be heat-treated
    Patent number: 6655956
    Abstract: A support frame for metal coils, which are stacked on top of each other for a heat treatment by means of a hot, gaseous medium, especially in bell-type annealing furnaces, has devices on the support frame for guiding the flow of the medium through the coils. The support frame is a framework constructed of I-sections. The end surfaces of the coils are supported on the flanges of the framework I-sections. The webs of the framework I-sections are provided with holes, which serve for guiding the flow of medium.

  • Metal frame for metal coils to be heat-treated
    Publication number: 20030027097
    Abstract: A good heat treatment of metal coils (31, 32) is obtained by means of gaseous hot media, whereby said metal coils are successively wound with support frames (10) between them. According to the invention, a low-cost robust support frame (10) may be obtained, whereby an I-profile is used as frame profile (28), so construct a frame, which then forms the support frame (10). The I-profile web has rows of holes (24), to serve as a guide for the medium.
