Abstract
A mounting which serves the dual purpose of supporting a device having a chamber for receiving a sample of molten material and connecting the device to a front end of a lance or wand whereby to facilitate manipulation of the device into a supply of such a material. The device also embodies improvements with respect to the flow of the material into the device and its structure which is adapted to engage the mounting whereby to support the device in a stable axial relation to the mounting. Additional improvements reside in providing a first hollow member which is operatively connected to the mounting for protecting a tubular entrance leading to the chamber, a second hollow member attached to the first member for protecting the latter, and means carried by one or both of the members whereby to control the inflow of the material and condition the same prior to its entry into the chamber.
