the ceramic anchor 60 is mounted into the support fig3 illustrates the mating of a corrugated spiral 110 formed in the configuration of a ceramic anchor 60 with a metallic spring support 50 the base of the metallic spring support is shown so that the attachment point weld 115 is located on either the outer diameter of the spring 120 and on the inner diameter of the spring 125 fig4 is a perspective view of a representation of the prior art consisting of a metallic furnace wall panel 100 with a c shaped member alloy support u201c c clip u201d 300 that contains a standardized shape ceramic anchor 310 fig5 is a sectional view of the prior art shown in fig4 this view shows the gap 240 between the ceramic anchor 310 and the c clip 300 a wedge 245 must be installed in the gap 240 to support the ceramic anchor 310 in the proper position prior to the refractory installation the present invention thus provides a unique apparatus for supporting the refractory lining to the interior of a furnace and allows the refractory to move independently from the furnace casing the invention allows for any and all movement in any direction parallel to the furnace casing and also movement away from the casing toward the furnace interior the amount of movement allowed may be limited by the characteristics of the spring support system fig6 represents a is a sectional view of the furnace wall structure 10 that is comprised of a metallic panel 100 that form the outer casing of the structure and a two component refractory wall 20 that is formed by an insulating layer of refractory 30 and a hotface layer of refractory 40 the refractory is attached to the furnace wall with the prior art.
