Summary:A cover lifting- and swinging mechanism for a tiltable crucible smelting or oven-type furnace wherein the cover is first caused to lift and then swing to an open position for completely emptying the furnace pot after the furnace charge has been drawn off in the usual manner through a pouring spout. The combined lifting and swinging motions imparted to the cover are effected and controlled by means of a hydraulic cylinder secured at the side of the tiltable furnace structure. The piston component of the cylinder is connected to a cylindrical housing having a swing arm that is secured to the cover and the housing is provided with a cam groove associated with a stationary guide roll so as to exercise positive control over the cover and piston movement.
