<p>The shell of a vessel which may become red hot when it is occupied by molten metal is supported inside of a concentric trunnion ring. A plurality of tangs have their corresponding ends anchored at circumferentially spaced points around the top of the trunnion ring. The opposite corresponding ends of the tangs extend tangentially of the outer periphery of the shell to which they are fastened. Another aligned set of tang members is spaced around the bottom of the trunnion ring. In the bottom set, the tangs make a yielding connection with their anchoring elements on the bottom of the trunnion ring so that the bottom set carries no load until the trunnion ring and shell are tilted.</p> |
