<p>This invention relates to a machine for the curved continuous casting of metals, particularly steel, with a rigid starting bar (20) comprised of two successive segments (120, 220) pivoted to each other (21). In the stowed position of the starting bar (20), the leading segment (120) of the starting bar (20) is folded upwards, together with a swingable arm (122) of the supporting structure (22) for the starting bar (20), to a position wherein the inspection and maintenance of the connecting or coupling head may be effected more easily. Preferably, the trailing segment (220) of the starting bar (20) has the same cross section as the strand of the smallest section to be cast in the machine, whereas the leading segment (120) has a cross section corresponding to that of the strand which is cast at each time, so that it can be removed and replaced. </p> |
