Abstract

A tiltable converter vessel is supported on a carrying body arranged about its shell by means of lug pairs accommodating bearing forces, the lugs of each lug pair being arranged opposite each other on both sides of the carrying body. At least one lug of each lug pair is supported on the carrying body by at least one piston-cylinder unit whose piston is hydraulically adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the converter vessel. At least one further piston-cylinder unit is arranged parallel to the extension of the carrying ring.
