Synchronized oscillator for continuous casting apparatus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A continuous casting apparatus comprising:
- a mold carrier having two discrete spaced parts;
means for oscillating said parts; and
means for synchronizing movement of said parts, said synchronizing means including a synchronizing member which is mounted for movement as a unit and is coupled to said parts in such a manner that said parts are mechanically constrained to move in substantial synchronism.

Abstract
A mold table for the continuous casting of large strands has two separate parts. The mold table parts are coupled to opposite ends of an elongated rigid rotatable member by respective linkages. A drive oscillates the rotatable member which, in turn, constrains the mold table parts to oscillate synchronously.

20. A method of oscillating a mold carrier having two discrete spaced parts comprising the steps of:
-
generating an oscillating motion at a predetermined location; transferring said motion from said location to said parts; and mechanically constraining said parts to oscillate in substantial synchronism. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
