ABSTRACT:
A horizontal strip storage unit, particularly for sheet steel, includes a looping carriage which is movable on a frame at a variable distance relative to a stationary strip guide roller. The looping carriage has at least one guide roller for a strip storage loop whose length is variable. Several support carriages with support rollers are arranged between the strip guide roller and the looping carriage. A flexible endless drive element guided around guide rollers is connected to the looping carriage. The drive element is guided so as to interact with a drive wheel of each support carriage, wherein the travel mechanism of each support carriage relative to the travel path of the looping carriage is derived from the flexible drive element. A second flexible drive element is tensioned along the frame in the area of the path of movement of the support carriages, wherein the second flexible drive element is guided over a lower drive wheel of each support carriage so as to interact with the drive element, and wherein the first drive wheel of each support carriage interacting with the first flexible drive element is kinematically connected through a gear unit to the second drive wheel.
