Patent ID: 7490655

Claim:
A device for supporting and oscillating a continuous casting mold ( 1 ) for casting molten metal, where, on each side of a plane of symmetry ( 2 ) that contains the central longitudinal axis ( 3 ) of the cast strand, the device has: a first assembly, which comprises a guide element ( 4 ) that is supported on two stationary support members; and a second assembly ( 8 ), which comprises an oscillation device ( 6 ), wherein the continuous casting mold ( 1 ) is supported on each side of the plane of symmetry ( 2 ) on the respective guide element ( 4 ) and the respective oscillation device ( 6 ) and can be caused to oscillate by means of the oscillation device, wherein on each side of the plane of symmetry ( 2 ), the oscillation device ( 6 ) can be moved laterally into or out of the first assembly by means of a guideway ( 9 a ), which is located below the guide element ( 4 ) and extends transversely to the plane of symmetry ( 2 ), the guideway ( 9 a ) has a T-slot, and at its end facing the guideway ( 9 a ), the oscillation device ( 6 ) has a flange plate that engages the T-slot.
