Deviation device for a coiler installation for coiling strips

The invention relates to a device for deflecting sections of strip, in particular metal strip, in a coiling plant, from a beginning guide channel ( 1 ) to an end guide channel ( 2 ) and vice-versa, comprising a driver ( 3 ) with a pair of driver rollers ( 4, 4' ) and control elements arranged downstream in strip conveyance direction, comprising a switch ( 5 ) that can be swiveled towards the beginning guide channel ( 1 ) or the end guide channel ( 2 ), and a guide table ( 6 ) which is swivelably supported under the switch ( 5 ) and positionable as a wiper against the lower driver roller ( 4' ). The deflection of sections of strip is optimized in that the switch ( 5 ) is convexly shaped at its top and bottom sides and is flexibly arranged at the outlet end of an assigned strip transport roller-conveyor ( 7, 7' ), such that it clears the beginning guide channel ( 1 ) when in a raised position and rests in the function of a wiper against the upper driver roller ( 4 ), and in that the guide table ( 6 ) is concavely shaped corresponding to the bottom of the switch ( 5 ). An actuating mechanism each, for example, a hydraulic unit ( 8, 8' ), is assigned to both the switch ( 5 ) and the guide table ( 6 ).
