Abstract
The present invention relates to a roll housing with a closed frame construction, particularly for heavy roll stands for rolling sheet metal and strip. The roll housing includes two vertical members which delimit the housing window for accommodating and guiding chucks which support the roll. The vertical members have inner surfaces parallel to one another. Upper and lower traverse bars connect the vertical members. The outer sides of each vertical member, which are remote from the housing window, recede toward the housing window between the upper and lower traverse bars such that the shortest distance between the inner surface and outer surface of each of the two vertical members is at a middle position between the upper and lower traverse bars.
