Zusammenfassung:A strip accumulator for forming a length of strip material into a storage coil composed of an inner set of convolutions and an outer set of convolutions and an outer set of convolutions interconnected by a free reverse bend which will move freely in opposite paths, the strip being supported on one edge on a horizontally disposed supporting surface with the inner set of convolutions built up around an inner arbor, the outer set of convolutions being formed on a moving supporting surface being driven in timed relation to the feeding speed of the strip being accumulated providing a free-formed outer set of convolutions to the elimination of an outer roll basket and roll adjusting mechanism heretofore employed to form and support the outer set of convolutions in the storage coil.
