Abstract
A continuous casting mould comprises a first mould part moulding the strand cross section and at least one second mould part arranged after the first part in the strand travelling direction. The second mould part is equipped with wall parts supporting the strand surface and getting into contact therewith. The wall parts are pressable against the strand surface by adjusting means. In order to provide a continuous casting mould which peripherally requires only little space, in which the adjustment force does not depend on the wear of the wall parts, and in which completely uniform adjustment forces and thus always the same wear occur over the length of the wall parts, the adjusting means are arranged so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strand with their longitudinal axes. Each adjusting means is connected with the run-in and run-out ends of a wall part by an arrangement deflecting the moving direction of the adjusting means directed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strand in a direction approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strand.
