Abstract:
1. A tiltable converter comprising a container defining a first axis; a support ring, coaxial to the container and spaced from said container, equipped with two diametrically opposite supporting pins, defining a second axis which is orthogonal to the first axis, adapted to allow the converter to be rotated about said second axis; suspension elements, connecting said container to said support ring, restrained at a first end to the container and at a second end to the support ring; wherein said suspension elements comprise at least three first bars arranged parallel to the first axis and substantially equidistant from each other along said support ring; at least two second bars, each second bar being orthogonal to said second axis and diametrically opposite with respect to the other second bar; at least one third bar arranged parallel to a first plane, defined by said first axis and second axis, and orthogonal to said at least three first bars; wherein said at least three first bars, said at least two second bars and said at least one third bar are bars having ends fixed in a rigid manner to the container and to the support ring.
