Abstract
Abstract A movable line infeed arrangement, especially cable- and conductor infeed arrangement for transport- and change wagons or carriages which are movable within limited paths of travel in the halls of steel works, and which wagons are especially suitable for the handling of the casting vessels of continuous casting installations, wherein the cable or conductors are secured to a metallic band anchored at the wagon. This metallic band is guided overhead to a deflecting roller arranged at the end of the path of travel of the carriage or wagon and from such location is guided about a loose tensioning roll and then leads to a stationary connection location which is located approximately in the direction of the deflecting roller.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A movable line infeed arrangement, especially a cable- and conductor infeed arrangement, for a transport- and change carriage which can travel over defined paths of travel for use in the halls of steel works, said carriage being employed in conjunction with the casting vessels of a continuous casting installation, comprising a metallic band upon which there can be secured the lines, means anchoring said metallic band at the carRiage, a deflecting roller arranged at one end of the path of travel, a loose tensioning roller, said metallic band substantially freely extending overhead to the deflecting roller and being devoid of any overhead rail support extending along the path of travel, from that location being trained about said loose tensioning roller and then extending to a stationary connection location which is disposed approximately in the direction of the deflecting roller.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A movable line infeed arrangement, especially a cable- and conductor infeed arrangement, for a transport- and change carriage which can travel over defined paths of travel for use in the halls of steel works, said carriage being employed in conjunction with the casting vessels of a continuous casting installation, comprising a metallic band upon which there can be secured the lines, means anchoring said metallic band at the carRiage, a deflecting roller arranged at one end of the path of travel, a loose tensioning roller, said metallic band substantially freely extending overhead to the deflecting roller and being devoid of any overhead rail support extending along the path of travel, from that location being trained about said loose tensioning roller and then extending to a stationary connection location which is disposed approximately in the direction of the deflecting roller.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The line infeed arrangement as defined in claim 1, further including vertical guide means, a weighted console cooperating with said vertical guide means, said tensioning roller being located beneath said deflecting roller and mounted at said weighted console.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The line infeed arrangement as defined in claim 2, especially for a ladle carriage, wherein the lines guided at the metallic band define current infeed cable means for the propulsive drive as well as electrical and hydraulic lines for a lifting- and weighing device.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
The line infeed arrangement as defined in claim 2, especially for a tundish carriage, wherein the lines guided at the metallic band define cables for the propulsive drive as well as the electric and hydraulic lines for a lifting- and weighing device and a control for regulating the degree of filling.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
The line infeed arrangement as defined in claim 4, further including a ladle having an outlet, said anchoring means for the metallic band being provided above the ladle outlet and incorporates a lateral overhang arm member arranged at the carriage.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The line infeed arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein the carriage is movable between terminal positions, and a roller member for supporting the metallic band between the terminal positions of the carriage.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
43 words
The line infeed arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein the metallic band constitutes a steel band, elastic buffer means having internal threading arranged upon the steel band, and clamping bracket means for the lines fixedly threadably connectable with the elastic buffer means.
