Abstract: A shearing device wherein a shear main body including an upper and a lower blades one of which is moved toward or away from the other for shearing an ingot is provided with an eccentric so that when the shear main body swings in synchronism with an ingot to be cut which is continuously moving, the upper and lower blades may be moved substantially horizontally in the direction of the passage of the ingot especially when the shearing of the ingot occurs, thereby preventing the "nose bending" of the ingot. A plurality of upper and lower blades are provided for shearing a plurality of ingots in side-by-side relationship wherein the drive mechanism for each upper and lower blade pair includes a plurality of hydraulic cylinders aligned in the direction of ingot movement in order to reduce spacing between ingots.

Abstract: Disclosed is a shearing device wherein a shear main body including an upper and a lower blades one of which is moved toward or away from the other for shearing an ingot is provided with eccentric means so that when the shear main body swings in synchronism with an ingot to be cut which is continuously moving, the upper and lower blades may be moved substantialy horizontally in the direction of the passage of the ingot especially when the shearing of the ingot occurs, thereby preventing the "nose bending" of the ingot.
