Abstract
Improvements are provided in a continuous caster mold for preventing undesired variation in the angular alignment of the narrow mold walls during casting. In one aspect, an improvement is provided in a mechanism for adjusting the spacing and angular alignment of the mold wall so as to enhance the rigidity thereof. An elongated rigidly mounted housing is provided with a slidable member extending through an opening in the housing and connected to the mold wall. A mechanism is provided for adjusting the spacing of the walls by movement of the slidable member back and forth in the housing. A mechanism is provided extending longitudinally through the housing and slidable member for adjusting the angular alignment of the mold wall by tilting the wall about the axis of a first pivotal connection by movement of a second pivotal connection of the wall and said slidable member. In another aspect, the improvement includes a pair of pivotal attachments which permit sufficient rotation of the wall to various desired angular alignments with respect to the casting direction while preventing any substantial displacement of the wall in the direction generally normal to said wall at the various angular alignments thereof.
