  • Patent number: 3995683
    Abstract: Individual guide rolls or pairs of guide rolls in a common cage may be removed from the guide rack of a continuous casting machine by a hoisting mechanism mounted on a vehicle traveling in a path parallel to the path of the cast metal defined by the rack. The hoisting mechanism includes two track members pivotally mounted on the vehicle. A carrier equipped to be attached to a roll or cage, a slide, and a link chain for raising and lowering the carrier are associated with each track member. The slide moves on or in the track member, the carrier moves on the slide and is automatically coupled to and disengaged from the associated slide in such a manner that a roll attached to the carriers is guided by respective faces of the two slides into or out of the rack to a position which permits travel of the vehicle.
