Stand housing comprising contact surfaces for sliding rails

Abstract

The present application relates to a stand housing (10) for a stand (1) for rolling metal rods, wires or pipes along a rolling axis (19), which comprises at least four contact surfaces which are arranged on an outside (12) of the stand housing (10) and which, viewed along the rolling axis (19), are in parallel therewith. Of the contact surfaces, two form non-adjacent, mutually parallel contact surfaces, and the two others form adjacent contact surfaces. In this case, the adjacent contact surfaces are at an angle of 120° to one another, and each thereof is at an angle of 120° to one of the parallel contact surfaces. The two parallel contact surfaces and/or the adjacent contact surfaces are designed to receive sliding rails (40.2, 40.3, 40.4, 40.5) for inserting the stand housing (10) into a stand base.

1 . A stand housing for a stand for rolling metal rods, wires, or pipes along a rolling axis, comprising:
 at least four contact surfaces arranged on an outside of the stand housing, the at least four contact surfaces being parallel with the rolling axis when viewed along the rolling axis,   wherein two of the at least four contact surfaces form non-adjacent, mutually parallel contact surfaces, and wherein the other two of the at least four contact surfaces form adjacent contact surfaces to each other,   wherein the adjacent contact surfaces are at an angle of 120° relative to one another, and each of the adjacent contact surfaces is at an angle of 120° to one of the parallel contact surfaces,   wherein the two parallel contact surfaces and/or the two adjacent contact surfaces are configured to receive sliding rails for insertion of the stand housing into a stand base.   
     
     
         2 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the contact surfaces includes multiple parts having at least two contact edges that are spaced apart along the rolling axis, wherein at least one outwardly protruding projection is formed between the at least two contact edges. 
     
     
         3 . The stand housing according to  claim 2 , wherein the outwardly protruding projection is offset from the contact edges by two steps extending in parallel with the contact edges. 
     
     
         4 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the contact surfaces is configured to receive a pair of sliding rails. 
     
     
         5 . The stand housing according to  claim 2 , wherein each of the contact surfaces is configured to receive a pair of sliding rails, and wherein one sliding rail of the pair of sliding rails is configured to be received on each contact edge. 
     
     
         6 . The stand housing according  claim 1 , wherein the contact surfaces comprise threaded holes for fastening sliding rails thereto. 
     
     
         7 . A stand for rolling metal rods, wires, or pipes along a rolling axis, comprising:
 a stand housing according to  claim 1 ; and   three rollers each positioned on a respective roller shaft, wherein the three rollers surround the rolling axis in a star-shaped manner and collectively form a caliber.
