Abstract
Abstract A rack for the production of semi-finished and finished products features an arrangement wherein two different clearance heights are provided respectively for the insertion of a pin coil former or the storage of the finished coil in the rack. Guide rails (4, 5) are adapted to accept a planar cardboard strip (9) to reduce the clearance height for the insertion of the pin coil former (10). Removal of the cardboard strip (9) increases the clearance height so the rack may be used to store the finished coil (15).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A rack for semi-finished and finished products, particularly for electrical pin coil formers with coil former pins secured to a coil former flange, and for coils fitted with these coil formers, suitable for use both as a conveyor track for the semi-finished product (pin coil formers) and as a packaging rack for the finished products (coils), the rack comprising a sectional rail with a tunnel-shaped cross-section generally adapted to the product, the rack further comprising means for adjusting the clearance height of the sectional rail between a first predetermined value of a essentially being equal to slightly greater than the height of the finished product and a second predetermined value of b essentially being equal to slightly greater than the height of the semi-finished product, and the means for adjusting comprising a strip adapted for insertion into said rack.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
