1,128,157. Continuous rolling mills. DEMAG A.G. 5 Nov., 1965 [7 Nov., 1964], No. 47071/65. Heading B3M. A continuous rolling mill comprises stands 1-8, Fig. 1, each of which is driven by a pinion 10, through a shaft 9, the pinions of each pair of stands, e.g. stands 1, 2 being driven by a motor 22 through a gear-box 21, a clutch 17, a shaft 13, bevel gears 11, and a spur gear drive 12. In a modification, two motors (22), (22a) are provided, Fig. 2 (not shown), which drive into a two-piece shaft (14), (15) connected by a clutch (20a). In a further modification, a two-strand rolling mill, Fig. 3 (not shown), is driven by two motors (M1), (M2) through a shaft A. In a still further modification, the strands (W), (W1) are rolled by different stands, Fig. 4 (not shown). In another modification, stands (1-8), Fig. 5 (not shown), are driven from motor (M), and stands (1<SP>1</SP>-8<SP>1</SP>) , are driven from motor (M<SP>1</SP>). The rolling mill of Fig. 6 (not shown) has alternate horizontal and vertical stands, driven from shaft (A), and the rolling mill of Fig. 7 (not shown) has two motors (M), (M1) for driving stands (1-8), and (1<SP>1</SP>-8<SP>1</SP>), respectively.
