Abstract
An apparatus for braking the travel on oncoming rolled products and depositing the rolled products on a cooling bed or other collector as a support frame extending in the direction of travel of the rolled workpieces and an array of profile braked members which can be U-shaped and open toward brake surfaces on the support frame. The U-shaped brake members are pressed against the workpiece to clamp it against the braking surface. The brake members can be swung pendulum fashion so that angled legs beneath the workpieces can be swung away to allow them to drop on the cooling bed or other collector.
