In a multi-roll stand having laterally supported working rolls 4, each working roll 4 is supported at at least one side against a radially unmounted lateral intermediate roll 5, which, for its part, is supported against a first, radially mounted supporting roller 6 and a further, radially unmounted intermediate roll 7. The further intermediate roll 7 is supported against a second, radially supported supporting roller 8 and against that intermediate roll 3 of a six-high roll stand which supports the working roll 4 vertically or against the supporting roll of a four-high roll stand. By virtue of this type of lateral support, the risk of slip between the working roll 4 and the lateral intermediate roll 5 supporting it is reduced because a torque is transmitted to the intermediate roll 5 from the intermediate roll 3 or supporting roll of the roll stand via the further lateral intermediate roll 7. In addition, the space for the lateral support can be better utilized for an increase in the supporting forces.

Four-high roll or six-high roll stand having laterally supported working

Winding device for metal strips, in which the metal strip is braked between two rollers which are pressed against one another. One of the rollers has a larger angle of wrap for the metal strip of at least 75.degree. and the other roller has a smaller angle of wrap for the metal strip of 45.degree. at maximum. The one roller with the larger wrap includes material on its periphery having a coefficient of friction for the material which is at least 20% lower relative to the braked metal strip than the coefficient of friction of the peripheral material of the other roller with the smaller amount of wrap.
