  • Patent number: 4490827
    Abstract: The disclosed arrangement refers specifically to a smelting arrangement which includes two metallurgical vessels serviced by a common, electrode carrying lid which is pivoted about a vertical axis as between one or the other position in relation to the two vessels. The current feed arrangement is designed such that beginning with a bus system extending from the transformer, conductors are run in a triangular arrangement down to a first plane, in freely sagging suspension and up again to the electrodes in such a manner that the conductors undergo a slight displacement only in the vertical suspension region near the transformer, equivalent to a slight torsion of a triangular prism, while the suspended portions of the conductors remain invarient during the pivoting about an axis that runs through the center of the triangle defined by the connect points at the transformer.

  • Patent number: 4402490
    Abstract: A sound and dust insulating wall separates the furnace hall from the casting hall in a metallurgical mill. In order to allow the transport of an overhead crane from one hall to the other, an upper wall portion of the separating wall pivots out of the way. The wall portion comprises frame elements and a plurality of relatively thin overlapping slats. The wall portion is opened by pivoting the frame elements about a horizontally extending hinge. The slats, secured to the frame elements by hinges, also pivot, so that the slats only block the now opened crane passageway by not more than the width of one individual slat.
