ABSTRACT:
A retainer clip is formed from elongated rod or wire as a continuous L-shaped member having a pair of arms substantially at right angles to one another. Each arm has a resilient loop formed by bending the end portion of the arm through at least one complete turn. Each arm of the L-shaped member extends along of two sideboards in end-adjacent relationship with each other, biasing flatly against end-adjacent inner walls of the ingot mold. The end portion of each arm abuts the next adjacent sideboard orthogonally, the arm biasing parallel oppositely disposed sideboards against inner walls of the ingot mold. Each retainer clip thus thrusts one pair of sideboards, in end-adjacent relationship with each other, against coextensive inner walls of the ingot mold, and at the same time, thrusts against portions of two diagonally oppositely disposed sideboards also in end-adjacent relationship with each other. The arms of each retainer clip and the resilient loop in the end-portion of each arm are formed in essentially the same plane. At least one pair of retainer clips is used to retain four sideboards of a conventional hot top of an ingot mold, one retainer clip diagonally oppositely disposed to the other so that the arms of each of the retainer clips bias at least some portion of all the sideboards against the inner walls of the ingot mold in close fitting engagement therewith.
