MEJORAS INTRODUCIDAS EN UN APARATO PARA AJUSTAR LA ANCHURA DE UN MOLDE PARA COLADA CONTINUA.

摘要

A continuous casting mold formed of a pair of spaced mold plate members having mold side members arranged between and a distance inwardly of their side edges to form an open-ended mold cavity for continuously casting metal therethrough. Bolts located between the side members and plate edges extend transversely through both mold plate members to loosely hold them together and springs arranged between the bolt ends and plate members resiliently and tightly hold the plate members towards each other and against the mold side members. The bolts are journalled through transverse openings formed in a mounting block which is connected to the adjacent side member by adjustable length connector members. Oppositely extending pressure applying plungers mounted in the mounting block extend against their adjacent plate member for spreading the plate members apart against the spring resistance and thereby permitting movement of the side members inwardly or outwardly relative to the mold cavity for adjusting the width thereof by manually adjusting the connector lengths.
