COOLING APPARATUS FOR TWIN-BELT CASTING MACHINE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Cooling apparatus for use in twin-belt casting machines wherein the casting region is defined between opposed portions of a pair of revolving endless flexible casting blets and wherein at least one of the belts travels partially around a nip roll positioned upstream from the casting region and said nip roll has a plurality of axially spaced narrow circum- ferential fins with deep circumferential grooves between the respective neighboring fins. The coolant apparatus comprises a plurality of curved coolant feed tubes, the curved coolant feed tubes each being positioned between a pair of the fins and being nested within a respective one of the deep cir- cumferential grooves of the nip roll beneath the casting belt as the belt travels around the nip roll, each of the curved tubes having a nozzle at its end with its discharge being aimed toward the belt for applying liquid coolant to the casting belt, a plurality of fingernail-like extenders, the extenders each being positioned between a pair of the fins and being attached to the end of a respective coolant feed tube, each extender being positioned between the end of the respective tube to which it is attached and the nearby casting belt, each extender projecting beyond the nozzle of the respective tube for intercepting and spreading out the liquid coolant being discharged from the nozzle and for directing the liquid coolant as a fast moving layer to be applied onto the belt.
