Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for use in a rolling mill to invert upstanding cylindrical product coils in order to facilitate trimming and inspection of both ends of the coils. The apparatus includes a cradle into which a coil is laterally received. The coil is inverted by rotating the cradle about an axis transverse to the coil axis. Suitable holding devices on the cradle operate to prevent coil distortion during its inversion.
