Patent number: 10814385Abstract: An immersion-nozzle replacement apparatus includes a guide, and a pressing keyboard row. The guide supports two immersion nozzles, a foremost immersion nozzle and a rear immersion nozzle. The guide includes two rows supporting the immersion nozzles via the lower face in the flange. The pressing keyboard row, which is provided in the rows of the guide, includes first keyboards pressing the foremost immersion nozzle via the lower face in the flange. The immersion-nozzle replacement apparatus pushes out the foremost immersion nozzle horizontally with the rear immersion nozzle, and puts the rear immersion nozzle on the pressing keyboard rows. The guide further includes an additionally-pressing keyboard row following a rear end of the pressing keyboard rows, and including a second keyboard pressing the rear immersion nozzle via the lower face in the flange before pushing out the foremost immersion nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: TYK CORPORATIONInventors: Hirokatsu Hattanda, Noriaki Yamauchi
