| 1. Device for coiling a windable long, metal product, comprising a mandrel having a substantially circular transverse section
and rotating around a horizontal, vertical or inclined axis, a containing element to contain said metal product, arranged
in correspondence with said mandrel and including at least a lateral wall at least partially extending substantially orthogonal
to said axis, and at least a guide and containing device able to be driven between a first working position in which said
guide and containing device cooperates with said mandrel, and a second inactive position in which said guide and containing
device is arranged distant from said mandrel, wherein said lateral wall of said containing element defines, together with
an outer surface of said mandrel, an annular channel which is coaxial with the axis of rotation of said mandrel, wherein said
guide and containing device includes a groove that is able to define an accompanying guide for said metal product along an
outer circumference of said mandrel towards said annular channel and coaxial with said annular channel, when said guide and
containing device is in said first working position; and
wherein a flange is applied on said containing element substantially perpendicular to said mandrel and shaped so as to have
an annular tooth substantially coaxial with said mandrel, said annular tooth defining said annular channel at a lower part
of said containing element.
