Abstract
A molten metal containment device between the crystallizing rollers () of a continuous casting machine comprises a lateral containment plate () able to press against the shoulder surfaces () of the crystallizing rollers (); means of providing pressure () able to move said lateral containment plate () so as to move it close to and press it against said shoulder surfaces (). The lateral containment plate () is fixed to the means of providing pressure () through an articulated joint which comprises a flexible tubular sleeve (), corrugated like bellows and able to support said lateral containment plate () allowing the horizontal pivoting at least around one axis of pivoting (X) horizontal and not parallel to the axes of rotation (A, A) of the rollers (). In a second aspect of the invention the containment plate () is fixed to the means of providing pressure () through more supports ().
