  • Grasping device for a rod insertable into and withdrawable from the taphole of metallurgical furnaces, particularly tapping rods
    Patent number: 4589636
    Abstract: A housing of the grasping device is connected by way of a headpiece with a taphole drilling machine equipped with a counterblow hammer. A clamping mechanism which can be coupled in a force-locking fashion in the housing of the grasping device with the smooth-round end of the tapping rod by means of an operating device is provided, this mechanism being in operative connection with an installation enhancing the clamping force upon an increase in tensile force at the tapping rod. The clamping mechanism can be, for example, a tilting disk surrounding the smooth-round end of the tapping rod with a bore and being in operative connection on one side with a stop fixedly connected to the housing of the grasping device, this stop converting the tensile force at the tapping rod into a tilting moment at the tilting disk so that the clamping force is enhanced.
