A converter includes a container and a supporting ring. A suspension device for the converter has a central structure fixed to the container. A first lateral structure is arranged at a first side of the central structure and fixed to a surface of the supporting ring. A second lateral structure is oppositely arranged. First and second sliding blocks are respectively connected with the first and second lateral structure. A first contact body is connected with the central structure by a first threaded bolt which engages a threaded hole in the central structure and a threaded hole in the first contact body. A second contact body is connected with the central structure by a second threaded bolt which engages a threaded hole in the central structure and a threaded hole in the second contact body. A distance element is arranged between the central structure and the first and/or second contact body.
