To improve productivity by facilitating the attachment/detachment of a sucking-up tube to/from an injection sleeve.
In this casting apparatus, the injection sleeve 4 communicated with a die cavity, a molten metal holding furnace 5 for holding the molten metal Me and a sucking-up tube 6 for sucking and transferring the molten metal Me into the injection sleeve 4 with the vacuum-suction in the injection sleeve 4 by connecting its one end to the injection sleeve 4 freely attachably/ detachably and dipping the another end into the molten metal holding furnace 5. Further, at the molten metal holding furnace 5 side, a tube supporting mechanism 10 by which the one end is attached/detached to/from the injection sleeve 4 by making the sucking-up tube 6 nearer to or away from the injection sleeve 4.
