Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 4629. Kew, H. E. Aug. 25. Charging and discharging. - Comprises modifications in gasretort charging a n d discharging machines of the pivoted push-plate type. In the apparatus shown, the push-plates E are pivoted to a jointed girder A, the back length of which, during the rearward stroke, is guided by a track M and runner wheels L from an horizontal to a vertical position. Each pushplate is formed in two parts having flanges connected by bolts F, N, the former of which acts as the pivot for the pushplate, while the latter passes through slots in the girder, and in a connecting-rod O. In operation, the charger is run into the retort by a pinion D engaging a skeleton or lantern rack C, the coke is discharged by the front push-plate U, and simultaneously a new charge of coal is fed between the push-plates E from the hopper H. Any coal falling on to the lantern rack can drop through it. At the beginning of the return stroke, a lever P, pivoted to the rear length of the girder at 9, engages with a guide-rib B on the shoot J, bridging the space between the machine and the retort, and moves the connecting-bar O to the left, thus raising the push-plates clear of the charge. At the finish of the rearward stroke, the rear end of the leading length of the girder A engages a lever Q which returns the pushplates on this portion of the charger to their normal position. The remaining push-plates on the rear length are returned when, on the forward stroke, the two lengths come into contact. The bridging-shoot J is carried forward by the charger until a lever K pivoted to the shoot at D encounters a stop 5 and turns from engagement with a slot R in the girder to a slot S in the fixed portion of the machine. On the return stroke the shoot is released when the rear end of the leading length of the girder engages the upper end 4 of the lever K. The machine may be used as a charger only by omitting the front push-plate U.
