IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR CHARGING RETORTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,344, dated February 8, 1876; application filed November 2-2, 1875.
I them quickly, have been devised, and to some extent adopted in practice. My invention is an improvement in this class of apparatus and consists, chiefly, in the arrangement of a" plug or stop device and means for locking the same, or holding it stationary, in the frame that supports the'tubular reciprocating charger, as hereinafter described.
In theaccompanying drawing,'for1ning part of this specification, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the retort and charging apparatus, and Fig. 2 a'top view of the same.
The charger A is an iron tube, open on its upper side, as well as at its inner end, and having the same shape as the retort R, which it is adapted to enter. It is supported on the same horizontal plane as the retort, in a wheeled frame, F, mounted on a suitable track, so that the charger may be moved up to or away from the retort, as occasion requires. The means of forcing the charger into retort consists of a cord or rope, a, passing over stationary pulley i and a Windlass-shaft, D, and the means for withdrawing it therefrom are a rope, 0, and similar shaft E, the operation of which parts will be readily understood from the drawing. When the charger is being filed with coal, the plug B is located at the It is evident that when thus secured the" plug will force the coal out of the charger into the retort as the charger is being drawn out.
In the drawing the charger is represented as drawn partly out of the retort.
The tube H of the retort is shown provide with a valve, 7', by which the discharge of gas to the purifiers may be controlled or cut'ofi', as required.
I do not claim, broadly, the mode of filling gas-retorts with coal by means of a charger arranged to be moved up to or away from the same by suitable mechanism; but
What I claim is The combination, with the charger arranged in a supporting-frame, of the removable plug B, having the vertical extension d, and the lever O, pivoted to said frame, and thereby adapted to hold the plug stationary therein,
as shown and described.
