Abstract: An overhead traveling crane is movably mounted on a truck, which is installed in the inside of a foundry and the crane provides a movable body having a elevation mechanism. At least one bag-filter type dust collector is mounted on the movable body so as to directly vacuum and remove dusty and sooty which are generated due to transfer of a ladle by means of the overhead traveling crane.

Abstract: A dust collection apparatus comprising a base duct, an adapter duct rotatably mounted on the upper end of the base duct, a first duct arm pivotaly connected to the upper end of the adapter duct and made of steel plates, a first connecting mechanism for connecting the adapter duct and the first duct arm, and second drive means for swinging the first duct arm. The first connecting mechanism comprises cylindrical holders projecting from the adapter duct, two branches of substantially U-shape provided with openings in which the cylindrical holders are inserted rotatably, air tight seals positioned between the openings of the branches and the cylindrical holders, a shaft penetrating the two branches and the adapter duct for rotatably connecting the first duct arm to the adapter duct, and support means arranged in the adapter duct for supporting the shaft.
