Abstract
A molten metal processing vessel is supported on a trunnion ring by a plurality of triangular members and adjustable links. Each triangular member is pivotally connected to the vessel to a clamp ring which engages the upper trunnion ring flange. The connection at the apex of the triangular member includes a ball and socket for universal pivotal movement. The links are pivotally connected to the vessel and to a second clamp ring which engages the lower trunnion ring flange. A plurality of disk springs are disposed between the second clamp ring and the trunnion ring.
