Abstract
A consumable electrode is positioned in a furnace under utilization of radially outwardly projecting ribs, at least one wheel with projection engages one of the longitudinal ribs and provides a deformation thereof in terms of indentation and thereby is and remains briefly in engagement with the rib such that the wheel with and through its projection holds and advances that electrode. The wheel has prongs, serrations or teeth and preferably cooperates with a counterwheel on the other side of the rib.
