Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0666324A1] A device is claimed for coupling a metallurgical carriage (10) with a flexible shaft (20), comprising a first half coupling (22) mounted on the metallurgical carriage (10) and a second half coupling (24) connected to one end of the flexible shaft (20). A coupling station (26) is located close to the predefined coupling position of the metallurgical carriage (10). This coupling station (26) incorporates a support block designed to receive and support the second half coupling (24), a drive mechanism for displacing the support block from a parking position in the direction of the first half-coupling (22) and vice versa. The second half-coupling (24) is fitted with a locking device that is activated by a control device on the coupling station (26). This locking device facilitates the locking, in a first position, of the second half-coupling (24) to the first half-coupling (22) and, in a second position, the second half-coupling (24) on to its support on the coupling station (26).
