Abstract
A wire coil forming station to be arranged following a coiler with cooling line includes a rotatable shaft extending with an inclination of 45.degree. relative to a horizontal base and mandrels mounted at equal circumferential distances and at an angle of 45.degree. relative to the shaft axis on the free end of the shaft. The shaft is rotatable for moving each mandrel successively into an approximately vertical coil forming position and into an approximately horizontal position in which the transfer of a coil to a longitudinally moveable and raisable and lowerable hook of a hook-type conveyor takes place. Each mandrel is composed of a U-shaped section which is open toward the shaft axis. The free end of each mandrel has a support for a cap to be placed on the support, wherein, seen in the axial projection, the diameter of the body of the cap determining the wire coil diameter protrudes with a radial distance to all sides beyond the approximately square cross-section of the mandrel. The section of each mandrel is selected in such a way that lifting of a coil from the mandrel by a hook of a hook-type conveyor takes place without further contact of the rolling stock with the mandrel.
