Abstract
A device for supporting a molten metal container is provided, wherein the device has first and second support units for supporting the weight of the molten metal container in connection with a ring member, taken alone or in combination according to a rotary position. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the device for supporting the molten metal container comprises: a ring member which encloses the outside of a rotatable molten metal container; and first and second support units which are configured to support the weight of said molten metal container in connection with said ring member, taken alone or in combination according to a rotary position of said molten metal container.
Claims8
A device for supporting a molten metal container comprising:
- a ring member enclosing an outside of a rotatable molten metal container;
- and
- first and second support units configured to support a load of the molten metal container alone or together in combination with the ring member, according to the rotated locations of the molten metal container,
- wherein the second support unit comprises:
- a support member provided on the ring member;
- and
- an insertion hole formed in the molten metal container such that one side of the support member is inserted,
- wherein a first clearance and a second clearance formed at an opposite side to the first clearance are formed between the support member and the insertion hole, and the first clearance and the second clearance at the upright location of the molten metal container are positioned on an upper side and a lower side of the insertion hole, respectively.
