The invention relates to a vessel (1) for the metallurgical treatment of pig iron, steel melts and similar, in particular a converter vessel, mounted on a support ring (3), arranged at a separation by means of pivot pins, whereby the vessel (1) rests on the top flange (3a) of the support ring (3) by means of claws (6) on the vessel wall (1b) and a support (4) is detachably embodied with additional fixing elements on the top flange (3a) of the support ring (3). According to the invention, the disadvantage of having to work in hot, restricted regions which are difficult for the personnel to access can be avoided, whereby the support on the top flange (3a) of the support ring (3) comprises opposing vessel brackets (7) and support ring brackets (8) which can be tensioned together in a closing direction (10) by means of a hinged closure (9) until a secure closed position is achieved and which may be easily opened in the opposing operating direction (12).
Vessel (1) for the metallurgical treatment of pig iron, steel melts, and the like, especially a converter vessel (1a), which is supported on a trunnion ring (3) spaced some distance (2) from the vessel, which trunnion ring (3) can be tilted by means of trunnions in rocker bearings on both sides, wherein claws (6) distributed along the circumference of the vessel wall (1b) rest on the upper flange (3a) of the trunnion ring (3), and wherein a support (4) is designed to be releasably mounted on the upper flange (3a) of the trunnion ring (3) by means of additional mounting fixtures, wherein the support (4) on the upper flange (3a) of the trunnion ring (3) consists of opposing vessel brackets (7) and trunnion ring brackets (8), which can be tensioned together in a closing direction (10) by means of a hinged closure (9) until a secure closed position (11) is achieved and which can be easily released in the opposite operating direction (12).
