Abstract
Abstract A plate mold for continuous casting machines in which transverse mold walls are carried on yokes which straddle the longitudinal walls and are slidably supported on a frame which surrounds the mold. The transverse walls may be shifted to various positions of adjustment by power operated means mounted on the side walls connected to the yokes. The transverse walls are hinged to the yokes and may be adjusted to any desired angle of inclination.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A plate mold for continuous casting, comprising a supporting frame comprising longitudinal and transverse members which supports longitudinal and transverse cooled walls defining the mold cavity, means for moving at least one of said longitudinal walls to clamp the transverse walls therebetween, a yoke attached to each of said transverse walls, which said yokes are movable with respect to said supporting frame and extend across and straddle said longitudinal walls and rest on and are slidably supported on the longitudinal members of said supporting frame, and means for locking said yokes to said frame in various positions of adjustment.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
A plate mold for continuous casting, comprising a supporting frame comprising longitudinal and transverse members which supports longitudinal and transverse cooled walls defining the mold cavity, means for moving at least one of said longitudinal walls to clamp the transverse walls therebetween, a yoke attached to each of said transverse walls, which said yokes are movable with respect to said supporting frame and extend across and straddle said longitudinal walls and rest on and are slidably supported on the longitudinal members of said supporting frame, and means for locking said yokes to said frame in various positions of adjustment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 1 including power operated means carried on said frame for shifting the position of said yokes on said frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 2 in which said power operated means includes a pair of levers pivotally mounted on said frame, a double acting power cylinder, and a pair of piston rods connecting said power cylinder to each of said levers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 1 including sliding shoes attached to the ends of each of said yokes, and guideways on said frame adapted to receive and guide said shoes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 1 including a transverse wall holder hingedly connected to each of said yokes, and means for securing said transverse walls to said holders.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 5 including a structural member attached to each of said yokes, and a compression spring interposed between each of said holders and each of said structural members adapted to deflect said holders to a desired angle of inclination.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 6 including adjustable backing means for supporting said holders in deflected position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
56 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 1 in which said means for moving at least one of said longitudinal walls includes power cylinders and thrust transmitting means interposed between said power cylinders and said longitudinal walls adapted to apply thrust to said walls at points aligned with the respective transverse walls to be clamped thereby.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
55 words
A plate mold as claimed in claim 8 in which each of said thrust transmitting means includes a clamping bar mounted on one of said yokes and aligned with the transverse wall carried thereby, a beam in sliding engagement with said clamping bar, and means for applying clamping thrust to both ends of said beam.
