  • Device for separating a coil of sheet metal from a construct
    Patent number: 4484716
    Abstract: A device for separating a sheet metal coil from a cylindrical constructed form of a plurality of coils interconnected by tabs, said device comprising a turnstile with a mandrel which removes the construct from a slitting line and turns it over towards a downender assembly. A portion of the downender assembly is inserted into a support arm holding the mandrel and the construct so that a part of the construct is secured by the mandrel and a second part is secured by the downender assembly. The two parts are separated when the mandrel is pushed up from the support arm by a lifting cylinder. After separation, the coil is turned into a horizontal position by the downender assembly for further processing.
