Abstract: A soil cultivation appliance, especially a lawnmower, which can be motor-driven or manually driven. The appliance is provided with a steering shaft and a steering frame or wheel for the operator. The steering device enables the soil cultivation appliance to change direction due to the fact that torque is introduced into the housing of the soil cultivation appliance by the steering shaft. The torque is used to change the direction of the advancing movement, to the left or to the right, without needing to steer the wheels. An advantage of the appliance is that, when the steering shaft is arranged on the housing in a continuously pivotable manner, the position of the operator is independent from a thrust frame or the like, by which means the soil cultivation appliance must be mechanically guided.

Abstract: The invention relates to steel processing in a ladle used for ferrous metallurgy. The inventive method for agitating steel in a ladle consists in blowing steel from the bottom with gas or a gas-powder mixture through blowing units. At least one blowing unit is shifted with respect to the vertical axis of the ladle toward the wall thereof. During the blowing, the ladle is rotated around the vertical axis thereof in such a way that the direction of rotation is periodically changed to the opposite direction. When the ladle is turned at an angle of 360 DEG , the blowing is carried out through the blowing units disposed on the radius of the bottom of the ladle. When the ladle is turned at an angle equal to or greater than 180 DEG , the blowing is carried out through the blowing units disposed on the diameter of the bottom of the ladle. When the ladle is turned at an angle equal or less than 90 DEG , the blowing is carried out through the blowing units disposed on the mutually perpendicular diameters of the bottom of the ladle. When the ladle is turned at an angle  alpha  equal or greater than 360 DEG , the blowing is carried out through the blowing units disposed in the sector of the ladle having the central angle  alpha . <IMAGE>
