Abstract
A safety device for protecting a cover used for closing a vessel in which molten metal undergoes metallurgical treatments is presented. The device is used in conjunction with the type of cover which rests on or hangs over the edge of the vessel. The device comprises a plurality of segments which preferably form a substantially cylindrical or funnel-shaped space. These segments may have any variety of configurations and/or shapes so long as they effectively eliminate the splashing and frothing of molten metal and slag.

A safety device for protecting the cover of a metallurgical vessel having a metal bath therein, the cover resting on or hanging over the edge of the vessel, the cover having an upper portion and a side portion including:
- a plurality of individually replaceable adjacent segments depending from within said cover, said adjacent segments overlapping each other whereby said metal bath is prevented from splashing against said vessel edge.
A safety device for protecting the cover of a metallurgical vessel having a metal bath therein, the cover resting on or hanging over the edge of the vessel, the cover having an upper portion and a side portion including:
- a plurality of individually replaceable adjacent segments depending from within said cover whereby said metal bath is prevented from splashing against said vessel edge, said segments forming at least two concentric circles, said adjacent segments alternating between said concentric circles.
A safety device for protecting the cover of a metallurgical vessel having a metal bath therein, the cover resting on or hanging over the edge of the vessel, the cover having an upper portion and a side portion including:
- a plurality of individually replaceable adjacent segments depending from within said cover whereby said metal bath is prevented from splashing against said vessel edge;
- and wherein
- each of said segments has a first section and a second section, said first section having a substantially rectangular shape and said second section having a trapezoidal shape.
