Abstract: A support guide arrangement or roller apron framework for a continuous casting installation having guide rolls and drive rolls, the rolls associated with each strand path of travel are mounted in sections at traverses or cross members and the oppositely situated traverses are adjustable by spindles as to their mutual spacing along a guide and movable away from one another, against the action of resilient load limiting means, in the presence of overloads. At least one of the oppositely situated traverses is pivotably guided at yokes which are adjustable by the spindles along the guide about axes extending essentially parallel to the rolls. At the yokes there are mounted stops which limit the positional advancement of the traverse towards a reference strand path of travel and the resilient load limiters are effectively arranged between the yokes and the traverse.
