Drapable, consumable, heat retention shield for hot metal cars

摘要

A drapable, consumable, heat retention shield for hot metal cars has a fibrous refractory sheet disposed between two metallic lattices, the lattices connected by fastening means to retain the sheet to form a panel having a bottom wall, upstanding side walls and a flange extending outwardly from the side walls. In one embodiment the metallic lattices substantially cover the fibrous refractory sheet, while in another embodiment cross strips of metallic lattices are used with a combustible supporting frame provided about the periphery of the fibrous refractory sheet to support the same.
