Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a melting material supply apparatus which is capable of contributing to improvements in the working environment and the melting efficiency of a metal melting furnace, and which is also capable of making melting work more efficient. This melting material supply apparatus for supplying a melting material to a crucible is provided with: a melting material supply unit for supplying the melting material to the crucible; and a furnace lid for closing an opening provided in the upper part of the crucible. The furnace lid is supported in a horizontal state by a furnace lid-supporter, and is capable of being moved between a position in which the opening is closed, and a standby position located above a hood. When the furnace lid is in the standby position, the opening is open, and the melting material can be supplied into the crucible therefrom.

Claim (Index 9):
The melting material supply apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein\n the melting material supply unit has a hood disposed above the opening at the time of supplying the melting material into the crucible and having a material outlet port configured to lead out the melting material downward, and the furnace lid at the first position is placed in front of the hood, and the furnace lid at the second position is placed above the hood, and the furnace lid moving means moves the furnace lid so as to circumvent the hood when moving the furnace lid between the first position and the second position.
