  • Patent number: 3948189
    Abstract: A pouring ladle and a platform car for use therewith are disclosed, the aforesaid ladle having a partition wall therein which has a passage adjacent to its bottom for allowing the communication of the melts separated by said wall, said wall being positioned in said ladle between the inclining center, i.e., a fulcrum of said ladle and the center of gravity of the melt contained therein, thereby suppressing a wave-forming phenomenon accruing from the inclinging movement of the ladle, with the resultant smooth pouring operation. This ladle is mounted on a frame body of a platform car in a manner to permit its inclination toward a casting mold, said platform car being capable of travelling in synchronism with the speed of a mold conveyor and adapted to move in the direction toward the casting mold, thereby presenting improved efficiency for casting operation, coupled with improved safety.
