Abstract
A slide closure for the tapping channel of a molten metal container such as a furnace or vessel has a slide housing with a refractory bottom plate and a movable slide with a refractory slide plate. A lifting drive is detachably connected to the slide by way of a coupling while a flexible supporting member connects the lifting drive to the container. A detachable connecting member extends between the slide housing and a housing for the drive, and this member acts on the slide housing in a plane containing the axis of the lifting member and symmetrically with respect to that axis.
