The invention relates to a pressing device for a casting pipe at the spout of a metallurgical container, wherein the pressing device is provided with spring-loaded pressing elements (2) that can be pressed against guide surfaces (10) of a casting pipe (1). The casting pipe (1) comprises a tubular part (4) and an upper plate (5). The guide surfaces (10) are arranged on the underside of the plate (5) on both sides of the tubular part (4) and are directed downward at an angle. They form a plate cross-section that is tapered downward. The pressing elements (2) are each provided with a head (2a) that is convexly curved in the adjustment direction (A) of the casting pipe (1) and can be pressed against a guide surface (10) of the casting pipe (1), which is curved in the longitudinal direction of the pressing element or in the adjustment direction (A). Thus, the compressive forces exerted by the pressing pins are optimally transmitted, more toward the casting pipe opening and therefore acting more evenly. |
