Abstract: In a device for fastening a perforated block to a metal melt container, the perforated block can be fastened by at least one clamping wedge which can be inserted transversely with respect to its through opening and which has a clamping jaw coupled thereto, wherein this clamping jaw acts on a clamping surface formed on the circumferential surface of the perforated block. The respective clamping wedge is guided in a carrier plate so as to be displaceable in its longitudinal extent or extension and transversely with respect thereto, while the clamping jaw coupled thereto can be moved in this transverse direction. Consequently, the perforated block can be fastened with precise positioning in the carrier plate in a simple manner.

Abstract: In a device for fastening a perforated block (1) to a metal melt container, the perforated block (1) can be fastened by means of at least one clamping wedge (36) which can be inserted transversely with respect to its through opening (D) and which has a clamping jaw (35) coupled thereto, wherein this clamping jaw (35) acts on a clamping surface (13) formed on the circumferential surface of the perforated block (1). The respective clamping wedge (36) is guided in a carrier plate (33) so as to be displaceable in its longitudinal extent and transversely with respect thereto, while the clamping jaw (35) coupled thereto can be moved in this transverse direction. Consequently, the perforated block can be fastened with precise positioning in the carrier plate (33) in a simple manner.

Abstract: In a slide valve closure for the casting of a metal melt a slider plate and a stationary closure part are braced against each other by means of spring units or by other means. There is provided a casing framework attachable to a mould or the like, in which is fixed a detachable casing part on which the spring units are held and in which the stationary closure part and the slider plate can be accommodated. This allows safe operation and simple and rapid mounting and dismounting of the slide valve closure.
