Mounting assembly for rolling mill guide box
First Claim
1. A mounting assembly for a guide box in a bar-rolling mill including rolling mill rolls wherein a bar moves along a straight, linear path portion through said guide box and the rolling mill rolls, said mounting assembly comprising:
- a base;
a horizontally disposed bridge member located above said base;
means mounting said bridge member for pivotal movement about a vertical pivotal axis, between an operative position and a position displaced from said operative position;
means on said base for supporting said bridge member at a first location on the latter adjacent said vertical pivotal axis thereof;
means on said base for supporting said bridge member, at a second location thereon remote from its vertical pivotal axis, when the bridge member is in its operative position;
said second location being spaced from said first location in a direction transverse to the direction of said straight linear path portion;
first disengageable means for engaging said bridge member when the latter is in its operative position and for securely holding it there;
means, at a third location on said bridge member, for removably mounting said guide box on the bridge member;
and second disengageable means for engaging said guide box when the latter is mounted on the bridge member and for securely holding the guide box there.

Abstract
Structure is provided for pivotally mounting a box used to guide a bar through the rolls of a rolling mill. The guide box is aligned with a guide bell, and the two are mounted in such a relation that cobble forces transmitted to the guide bell are absorbed by the mounting structure and are not transmitted to the guide box or to the bearings which mount the guide box for pivotal movement. In its operative position, adjacent the rolling mill rolls, the guide box is accessible for adjustment and most maintenance work, and the upstream and downstream ends of the guide box are readily visible. The guide box may be pivoted away from and returned to precisely the same operative position, time after time.
