Abstract

The invention concerns a rolling stand ( 1 ) with backup rolls and/or work rolls ( 2, 3, 4, 5 ) for rolling plate ( 6 ) or strip, with at least one rest bar ( 8 ), which is arranged between the work roll chocks ( 7 ) and preferably is assigned to the upper roll ( 3 ); with an inlet/outlet guide ( 9 ) for a medium, e.g., cooling water or the like, arranged next to the rest bar ( 8 ); and with sealing means ( 10 ) for preventing the medium, e.g., cooling water, from dripping onto the rolling stock. In accordance with the invention, it is provided that the sealing means ( 10 ) for preventing the medium, e.g., cooling water, from dripping onto the rolling stock is designed as at least one sealing strip ( 11 ) arranged between the rest bar ( 8 ) and the inlet/outlet guide ( 9 ).
