Abstract (en)

[origin: US4423515A] In an electric furnace a lifting means actuating the furnace cover includes a king post supported on the base. The king post is surrounded by a sleeve, which is liftable and lowerable relative to the same and has a cap on its upper end. The sleeve is hydraulically liftable and engageable with a cover carrying framework carrying the furnace cover. In order to provide for a lifting means with a low weight without constraining forces and with a structurally simple lubrication, a cylinder space to which a hydraulic medium is admitted is provided between a front face of the king post and the cap of the sleeve acting in the lifting direction. If desired, an annular space is provided between a collar of the king post and the inner wall of the sleeve, to which a hydraulic medium is provided, acting in the lowering direction.
