Abstract: 14,515. Jones, J., and Woodhouse, W. B. June 17. Ashes, removing.-Apparatus for clearing out steam-boiler ash-pits consists of a scraper blade mounted in a carriage running on wheels and pulled in and out of the ash-pit by means of chains. The movement may be automatically reversed at each end, and appropriate dampers and ash-pit doors may be automatically operated. The scraper 1, Fig. 1, is loosely. mounted on a shaft 2 rigidly secured to end frames 5 carrying the rollers 6 and jockey rollers 10 engaging the two rails 7. A crossstay 8 limits the movement of the scraper blade in one direction. In a modification, the scraper carriage runs on a single central rail. Fig. 3 shows the operating-means in the case of two adjacent furnaces. The two scrapers are connected at the rear by chains running over pulleys 37 and operated by chains 18 carried round chain-wheels 21 of which one set is being driven while the other runs loose. This operation, together with the automatic reverse at the end of the movement, is effected by means of a sliding two-face clutch which is actuated by a weighted throw-over lever 29 operated by a pin 31 engaging a segmental slot in a worm-wheel 34 driven from the shaft of one of the sets of chain-wheels 21. The counterweighted ash-hopper door 13 at the rear end of the furnace is normally held closed by swing stops 15 and is opened on the arrival of the scraper-carriage by the engagement of rollers 11 thereon with the arms 14, the stops being just previously released by the rollers 10. The door 39 of the front ash-hopper is normally open, but is closed by the passage of the scraper to the front and so held till the scraper returns by catches 40. The swinging ash-pit door 42 is normally closed and is opened by engagement of rollers on the scraper carriage with the arms 41. Where the known form of rear ash-hopper, Fig. 6, is employed, the inclined plate 62 is fitted to ensure, as with the form just described, that ash does not drop into the extreme rear end of the ash-pit. The scraper may be driven by hand, by an independent source of power, or from a motion shaft of the stoker.
