Abstract

A lever of the second class is employed to prise a mold cap free of an ingot mold by tipping the cap about a point on its periphery which is in engagement with the mold mouth. The lifting lever is operated by a power cylinder. A carrier for the lever and its power cylinder is provided to transfer the mold cap from the mold to the pouring platform and back to the mold.
