Abstract
An automated apparatus for manipulating a protective tube for a jet of a molten metal discharged from a tap hole of a casting ladle for selective movement of the protective tube under the tap hole and retraction therefrom, uses a first carriage displaceable along a horizontal track, a vertical shaft connected to the first carriage for displacement therewith and rotatable about its longitudinal axis, and a second carriage vertically displaceable along the shaft. A carrier arm for the tube is supported on the second carriage and a support case connects the carrier arm to the second carriage to allow horizontal movements of the carrier arm with respect to the second carriage. The carrier arm can be locked in a predetermined position with respect to the second carriage and is capable of gripping the tube.
