Abstract
An apparatus for removing strips from immediately downstream of the blades of a plate shear and stacking them on a pile at a predetermined position also downstream of the plate shear comprises a conveyor that moves the cut strip from the plate shear in the transport direction, a supporting rake downstream of the conveyor and movable horizontally at the same height as the conveyor between a receiving position directly above the pile position and an unloading position offset therefrom, a stripper above and cooperating with the supporting rake and engageable horizontally opposite to the direction with a strip on the rake, and an accelerator upstream of the stripper arrangement and engageable in the direction with a strip on the rake. The accelerator and the stripper can be locked at a predetermined spacing from each other in the direction for clasping the cut strip between the accelerator and the stripper arrangement. The accelerator and the stripper arrangement are moved together with the clasped cut strip and the supporting rake toward the pile and are retained together with the cut strip against horizontal movement above the pile and then the supporting rake is moved out from under…
