Abstract
A long rigid starting or dummy bar, after passing through a withdrawal and straightening unit, is suspended by means of an automatically operating connection device in a holder arm pivotable about the center of the curved arc or arcuate-shaped path of travel of the secondary cooling zone. The holder arm removes the starting bar out of the withdrawal and straightening unit by virtue of its own pivotal movement which is accomplished by means of a fluid-operated cylinder unit, such as a hydraulic cylinder unit, and places such starting bar in a position where it does not disturb the cast strand region of the installation. The holder or holding arm is mounted and constructed such that it can be placed by means of a crane or other appropriate facility into an almost vertical position, so that the entire space above the withdrawal and straightening unit and the subsequent rolls are freely accessible from above.
