ABSTRACT:
Successive coils of strip are fed to an unwinding station by a transfer carriage supporting at least two driven coil support rollers on a vertically movable coil support, support for a tight or slack coil during a preliminary unwinding being provided by retractable arms carrying idler rollers for rotatably supporting a coil, the arms when extended supporting the idler rollers between the driven rollers. A further pair of retractable arms at the unwinding station support further idler rollers which when extended are located at the same height as idler rollers of the first retractable arms, with one of the driven rollers being located between two of the idler rollers so that, upon lowering the carriage-mounted support the coil originally supported by the driven rollers is caused to rotate onto the idler rollers and is thus transferred from the driven rollers to the idler rollers.
