6 Claims. (Cl. 22-82) This invention relates to mechanism for controllably tilting ladles used in foundry furnaces and the like where molten metal is poured into molds.
Several types of ladle tilting mechanisms are utilized at the present time employing gear driving mechanism or windlasses or hooks for appl ing power to tilt the 1adle in the desired manner for pouring. With such mechanisms as are known to applicant, the tilting of the ladle during pour ing is accompanied with jerkiness and lack of uniformity. Such jerkiness becomes accentuated after wear and long use of the tilting mechanism.
In the making of excellent castings, the uniform control of the flow of metal from the crupoint of pouring.
Another object of my invention is the provi sion of ladle tilting mechanism designed to be entirely supported from a traveling crane or the like and further adapted to be readily installed and applied to conventional types of ladles now in commercial use.
oible to the mold is essential to prevent pockets overcomes the objectionable features of It is a more specific object to provide ladle tilt- A ing mechanism of the class described wherein smooth and uniform hydraulic power is applied through finger control of an operator and the medium of efficient lever connections'with the ladle to eliminate jerkiness and unsteady po"ur-.
ing which are prevalent in mechanisms of-the prior art. 7 Another object is the provision of a power- .actuated bellcrank lever mechanism for controllably tilting foundry ladles wherein points of -fulcruming and connection with power source and with the ladle are positioned-toinsure atw-all times, positive and uniform control in tilting as well as utilization of power with accurate and sensitively controlled efi'ect.
A still further object is the provision of ladle tilting mechanism of the class described which combines compact hydraulic system, a ladle support and operating mechanism, allcompactly embodied in an integral unit which may be readily utilized with overhead cranes and conventional ladles in commercial use.
These and other objects and advantages of my invention will more fully appear from the following description made in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views and in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation showing an embodiment of my invention applied to a conventional foundry ladle and supported from the hook of the traveling crane with the ladle disposed in horizontal or upstanding position;
Fig. 2 is .a top plan View of the same with portions of the base-supporting cables broken away; and
Fig. 3 is avertical section taken substantially along the line 33 of Fig. 2 showing the ladle in almost full tipped position.
My improved mechanism, in its preferred form as shown, includes a large generally rectangular lbase orsupporting platform 5 which may be conveniently constructed from a thick, suitable metal having as shown upstanding, heavy attachment lugs 5a extending upwardly from the corners thereof for connection with supporting media (preferably flexible) such as cables 6 which con- ,verge upwardl at a point centrally above base 5 and as shown are connected with a heavy ring 1. adapted to be connected with a depending supv porting hook 8 such as is furnished by a traveling crane structure.
Base or platform 5, as shown, is provided centrally with a depending heavy supporting hook 9'whi ch is adapted to engage and support the usually notched, upper portion of the bail Ella ."of "a conventional ladle ll] of the type used in foundries or in pouring furnaces for holding and distributing molten metals into molds. The bail .llla at its lower ends has the usual smooth trunnionslllb for connection with suitable bearings fin'the central 'portio'nof the peripheral wall of 3 ladle. The said ladle-supporting hook 9 may fbejsli'ghtly biased to one side of the center of fgrayity of base. 5 for most efiicient balancing of .a' hydraulic operating system mounted on the top'of the base or platform 5.

Bell crank lever ll, fulcruming on a horizontal axis parallel with the axis of the ladle trunniofns Iflb, has an elongated arm I I a which. we ghs through an elongated slot 5b formed through the base 5, said arm Ila in the normal unt led position of the ladle, extending rearwardly nd outwardly from the. lever. fulcrum .anditermina ing at a point disposed outwardiytahda sliprt distance above the rear of the upper edge of ladle Ill for pivotal connection by a pivot pin l4 tvithi the outer and upper end of a dependingli.

The axis of the pivot" l4, connecting the long arm of ,the bell era with link I5, is preferably disposed in:.a,n nary line extending in arverticalplanedi cally bisecting the ladle, such line vextendi stantially at 45 tortheplanedefinedby th per edge of the ladle. Bell. crank. leverll' rigldly carries a short power-receivingarm; lib; which extends preferably at anangle somewhat1 less than 90 to the longer arm llabeing dispo'sed With the ladle in. norma1 untilted position, as shown in Fig. 1.
