Abstract

Supporting apparatus for a foundry ladle has a vertical support member on which are rotatably mounted a number of horizontal support members. A ladle carrier is provided at the outer end of each horizontal support member. The carrier comprises spaced parallel carrier arms with respective parallelogram linkages mounting the arms on the support member so as to project beyond the end thereof in a vertically movable manner. Lateral brackets extend from the support member in flanking relationship with the carrier arms for guiding a foundry ladle into a position in which it is ready to be received by the carrier.
