Abstract
For the purposes of introducing filling material which is capable of flow into a tap hole which is disposed in the edge region of the bottom of a metallurgical vessel, in particular a smelting furnace, there is provided a filling pipe which is secured to an arm which is pivotable about a pivot means mounted to the wall of the vessel. The pipe can be pivoted from a position outside the vessel through an opening in the wall of the vessel into a filling position in which the intake opening of the pipe is in communication with a container for supplying the filling material and the discharge opening of the pipe is in opposite relationship to the tap hole. The pipe is of a circularly bent configuration around the pivot axis of the arm so that the opening in the wall of the vessel can be kept small.
