Abstract
A device for winding strip-type material, especially steel strip, alternately on each of two expandable coiler drums arranged horizontally and parallel to one another, which are mounted in free-floating fashion in a carrying frame arranged in rotary-drivable fashion around a shared horizontal central axis and are themselves rotary-drivable independently of one another. The rotary drives for the coiler drums together with the carrying frame are attached to the frame in rotatable fashion. The drum-type carrying frame consists of two vertical circular-disk-type carrying walls which are separated from and parallel to one another. Longitudinal traverses connect the carrying walls together. On the longitudinal traverses are mounted the coiler drums, which penetrate one carrying wall, and their expanding drives. Flanged onto the outside of the other carrying wall are the simultaneously drivable rotary drives, which are connected to the coiler drums through universal joint shafts in geared fashion.
