Latest Patents

Schirmagg is credited with 1 patent: “Device for the Delivery and Removal of the Mandrel Rods in Skew Rolling.” The invention describes an apparatus that delivers and removes mandrel rods used with rolling mills.

The apparatus uses multiple rocking levers arranged along the rolling direction. Their free ends have receivers for holding a mandrel rod, and the levers can pivot between upper and lower positions. The two-armed angle levers can also slide between two positions: one keeps the receivers aligned with the vertical projection of the rolling axis, while the other offsets them from that projection.

Career Highlights

Schirmagg’s documented patent contribution focuses on the positioning and transfer of mandrel rods in rolling-mill equipment. The design’s adjustable lever arrangement provides alternative receiver positions relative to the rolling axis.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Manfred Muller and Wilhelm Nickel as Schirmagg’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or establish whether they were co-inventors.

Conclusion

Klaus-Peter Schirmagg’s recorded invention concerns a practical mechanism for delivering and removing mandrel rods in rolling mills, using pivoting and sliding levers to control their position.
