Abstract
A supporting and guiding arc for a cast strand has roller-carrying arcuate longitudinal carriers arranged in a stationary framework, which carriers support the strand at opposite sides. At least the roller-carrying arcuate longitudinal carriers arranged at one side of the strand are braceable relative to the framework under elastic deformation for adjustment to various strand thicknesses. All of the longitudinal carriers arranged at one side of the strand are connected to transverse carriers which are movably guided on drawing anchors secured to the framework, and the transverse carriers are fixable relative to the drawing anchors.
Claims4
In an arcuate supporting and guiding construction for continuously cast strands, in particular slabs, of the type including a stationary framework, a set of inner arcuate longitudinal carriers and a set of outer arcuate longitudinal carriers positioned within the framework, at least one of said sets of longitudinal carriers being elastically deformable and braceable relative to the framework for adjustment to various strand thicknesses, and a plurality of rollers connected to each of the sets of longitudinal carriers to support the strand on two opposite sides thereof, the improvement comprising
- transverse carriers arranged at a distance from one another and connected to all the arcuate longitudinal carriers of at least one of said sets, and
- drawing anchors secured to the framework, the transverse carriers being guided on the drawing anchors and fixable relative thereto.
