Abstract
The invention concerns a device for pressing a side wall ( ) of an installation for continuous casting of metal strips between two cooling drums with horizontal axes against the planar surfaces of the cylinders, comprising three thrust member connected to a mounting frame ( ) maintained in a fixed position, exerting their action on the rear face of a plate ( ) on the front face whereof is fixed the side wall ( ) or on the rear face of the side wall ( ), said action being oriented along a substantially horizontal direction (Oy) parallel to the axes of the drums and being exerted via means connecting each of said thrust members on said plate. Said connection means of a first thrust member enable a relative displacement in translation of said thrust A-4 member and of the plate ( ) or of the side wall ( ) being along a horizontal direction (Ox) a=parallel to the plane of the planar surfaces of the drums and along a vertical direction (Oz) parallel to the plane of the planar surfaces of the drums. Said connection means of a second thrust member enable a relative displacement in translation of said thrust member and of the plate ( ) or of the side wall ( ) along-a horizontal direction (Ox) parallel to the plane of the planar surfaces of the drums. Said connection means of a third thrust member do not enable any relative displacement in translation of said thrust member and the plate ( ) or of the side wall ( ).
