Abstract
Continuous casting apparatus comprises a mould defining a horizontal mould passage, a break ring having a tapered portion positioned in a correspondingly tapered inlet to the mould passage, a refractory feed tube supported in a mounting assembly and means for urging the assembly towards the mould so that an end face of the tube abuts against an end face of the break ring. The assembly is pivotally mounted so that the feed tube is pivotable relative to the break ring about a pair of axes which are at right angles to each other and at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the mould passage.
