Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A converter comprising a container ( 2 ) defining a first axis X; a support ring ( 3 ), coaxial to the container and spaced therefrom, provided with two diametrically opposed supporting pins ( 6 ), defining a second axis Y orthogonal to the first axis X, adapted to allow a rotation of the converter about the axis Y; suspension elements, connecting said container to said support ring, clamped at a first end to the container and at a second end to the support ring so as to not require any maintenance as compared to traditional systems which use spherical joints and pins which are subject to wear, thus saving hours of maintenance and plant standstill.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A tilting converter comprising: a container defining a first axis X and having a loading mouth; a single support ring, coaxial to the container and spaced from said container, provided with two diametrically opposed supporting pins, defining a second axis Y orthogonal to the first axis X, adapted to allow a rotation of the converter about said second axis; suspension elements, connecting said container to said support ring, restrained at a first en…
