A pressing means for pressing a slide plate against a fixed plate by uniform pressure has simple, strong construction and can be easily assembled. A slide gate valve unit includes a pair of pressing members 10 having a U-shaped cross section and capable of receiving protrusions 11 protruding from sides of a base frame secured to the lower surface of the bottom wall of a molten metal container and the lower surfaces of side parts of a slide case 4. Elastic members 12 are extended between upper parts 10a of the pressing members and the upper surfaces of the protrusions of the base frame. Side parts of the slide case 4 are supported on the upper surfaces of the lower parts 10b of the pressing members.
