Abstract: A strip-bending mill is assembled from a set of interchangeable stages, each stage imparting a particular curvature of the strip; a group of stages so assembled, stepwise bending a particularly wide strip or skelp into a tube. For bending a different width strip or skelp, a different group of stages is assembled, but usually including some of the previously used stages in different positions. None of the stages are adjustable. Particular simple construction features are able to be achieved.

Abstract: A roll stand for horizontally journalled contoured rolls is constructed to have two windows, through one of these windows driving engagement is made to the rolls and through the other one two subassemblies may be inserted or removed together from the stand. Each subassembly includes a pair of mounting blocks, a shaft and a roll on the shaft. The two subassemblies are axially locked together and/or independently to the stand, while one rests on the other or is suspended from adjustment spindles. The two subassemblies are removed from the stand together by a lifting fork, requiring only that the connection to the stand be released but leaving the two subassemblies interconnected.
