  • Patent number: 4506814
    Abstract: A revolving-ladle turret having a turret member supporting a platform which rotates around a vertical axis and which is furnished with ladle-carrying arms. The turret member is supported by a pair of articulated linkages similar to parallelograms of the double-handle type. The upper or bridge sides of the parallelograms are horizontal and rigidly supported by the structure carrying the machine. These parallelograms have their respective handles shaped at right angles and are linked to the turret member in positions which are symmetrical to it with respect to the axis of rotation of the platform and which effectively resist the torque which works on the turret due to the constant unevenness of the loads which act on the turret because of variations in the amounts of materials in the ladles.
