Abstract

An arrangement for the installation or removal of a mouth ring comprised of mouth-ring segments and provided on the mouth of a tiltable metallurgical vessel. In order to simply and quickly install and remove a mouth ring, even if the converter is within a closed chamber and difficult to accede, a car is provided which is displaceable below the metallurgical vessel when tilted in the upside-down position. The car is provided with a platform that can be lifted and lowered by a lifting device and includes at least one support for a mouth-ring segment, which is displaceable and pivotable in the plane of the platform.
