  • Pre-fixing hanger for insulating side board
    Patent number: 4210307
    Abstract: A device and method for temporarily supporting a metallurgical side board in a predetermined position against a vertical surface of an ingot mold, comprising an attachment member, adapted for releasable attachment to a side board, connected to a counterbalance body by a chain. The point of attachment of the chain to the attachment member is offset, relative to the center of gravity of a side board attached thereto, whereby a component of the gravitational force acting on the side board presses the same against the vertical surface of the mold.
