Support cradle for rolled coils and other cylindrical objects

A support frame (10) for supporting coils, rolls, and other cylindrical objects comprising: a pair of parallel mounting seat (12, 14); each said element comprising saddle a concave upper surface (16,18) on which rests a portion of a coil or roll; a pair of parallel connecting elements (30, 32), each said connecting element connecting corresponding ends of said pair of saddle elements in order to form a rectilinear-shaped structure; characterized in that the saddle are made of a material in the hardness range of between 50 Shore A and 90 Shore D, and said concave upper surface defines a central, lower curved section (16 '', 18 '') of a radius R1 and a pair of terminal upper curved sections (16 '', 18 ') each of a radius R2 greater than R1 and a pair of transition sections (20, 22), passing each said transition section of said section Central lower curve to a respective one of said pair of curved sections upper end, corresponding said radius R1 to a minimum radius of a coil or roll to be supported by said pair of saddles, and corresponding said radius R2 the maximum radius of a coil or roll to be supported by said pair of saddles.
