Estimating the term…
In a tiltable converter arrangement with a carrying ring surrounding the converter vessel at a distance and having two carrying trunnions, the converter vessel is movably connected with the carrying ring by articulately connected brackets. The converter vessel is mounted in the carrying ring by means of three of these brackets that are inclined towards the longitudinal axis of the converter vessel and whose joints are each mounted to the converter vessel and to the carrying ring. The three brackets are pivotable in the plane laid through their longitudinal or central axes and the longitudinal axis of the converter vessel, which plane is at a right angle to the axis of the carrying trunnions.
In a tiltable converter arrangement of the type including a converter vessel, a carrying ring surrounding said converter vessel at a distance and having two diametrically oppositely arranged carrying trunnions, and a plurality of brackets articulately mounted on both said converter vessel and said carrying ring, the improvement which comprises three brackets for articulately mounting said converter vessel in said carrying ring, each of said three brackets being inclined towards the longitudinal axis of said converter vessel and having joints mounted on said converter vessel and further joints mounted on said carrying ring, and wherein the longitudinal axes of said three brackets lie in a plane laid through the longitudinal axis of said converter vessel and at a right angle relative to the axis of said carrying trunnions, and said three brackets are pivotable in a plane formed by the longitudinal or central axes of said three brackets and the longitudinal axis of said converter vessel.
