ABSTRACT:
Switching apparatus for hot rolling mill. Alternate hot rolled bars are diverted and guided alternately along respective diverging paths. The paths are defined by opposite sides of a trough and a pivoting knife switch located between the trough sides. Pivotable persuader elements upstream of the knife switch are pivoted to deflect alternate bars toward alternate paths. The knife switch pivots between alternate positions to provide a wide mouth for the path toward which the approaching bar is deflected by the persuader elements and to constrict the other path. The persuader elements block a bar from entering a path toward which that bar is not deflected. Movement of the persuader elements and knife switch, for changing the path of an approaching bar, is relatively slow. No slamming into or squeezing or scratching of bars by the persuader elements or knife switch.
