HEATED CASTING LADLE SUPPORT ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A support arrangement for a tiltable heated casting ladle includes a frame movably supported by flanged wheels riding on rails and containing support means for the ladle. The support means comprises an open bearing support on one side of the frame and a horizontally disposed bolt positioned on a bearing pedestal on the opposite side of the frame. A horizontally extending pin is secured to one side of the ladle and is supported in the open bearing support and a vertically extending downwardly directed fork is attached to the other side of the ladle and has recesses in its lower end which sit on the bolt mounted on the bearing pedestal. Alternatively, a downwardly directed fork can be fitted on each of two opposed sides of the ladle and supported on bolts mounted on bearing pedestals on each side of the frame.
