Abstract
With a device for a lateral containment of liquid steel between two crystallizing rolls of a casting machine for a steel strip, comprising a refractory skid ( ) and a thrust unit ( ) for the skid ( ). there are provided at least spaced steel plates (P , P , P , . . . P ) successively arranged between the skid ( ) and a thrust unit ( ) and interconnected by means of fixing elements ( ) in a staggered arrangement to optimize the contact conditions between the containing plates and the side faces of the corresponding rolls and to ensure excellent uniform pressure distribution on these plates in sliding contact with the rolls allowing the plates to adapt well to the reference surface of the rolls or working conditions. Each fixing element ( ) that connects the plate (P ) to next plate (P ) has associated thereto at least one pair of fixing elements ( ) connecting the next plate (P ) to the following next plate (P ).
