To all whmvi 'it may concern."

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. RUST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Youngstown, in the'county of Mahoning and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Automatic Pokcrs for Gas- Iroducers, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to power-driven pokers for gas-producers and their equivalents and its ob]ect is to provide a poker or okers which work through an annular slot 1n the producer-wall, the supporting and driving devices for the same being whollyl exterior to the said wall.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical central section through the central portion of a gas-producer; Fig. 2, a plan, partly broken away, of a p oker, from its supporting rin Fi 3, a section of Fig. 20u the line II -II and Fig. 4, a vertical section partly in eleva tion of a gas producer, the lower portion bein `omitted. p

f I ferring first to Figs. 1, 2, and 3, I show the producer-wall composed of the two vertithe same diameter, 'the section 1 being directly over the section 2.4 The sections are se arated h the space 3 which extends entire y aroun the reducer. The section 1 may be supported 1n various was which will readily suggest themselves tot ose acquainted with the art to the upwardlyopentrough 5 containing water supplied from any convenient source. The section 1 carries an annular sheet-metal guard 6 which projects into the water in the trough to prevent the gas within the producer from escaping between the section 1 and the ring 4. Around the upper end of nular trough 7, the ring 4 having an annular into the water in the rests on the rollers 10, carried by the arms 11 which are secured tosuitable fixed supports, not shown. The ring 4 is rotated around the roducer wall by means of the pinion 12 w 'ch meshes with teeth on the The pinion is carried by the shaft 13 having bearings in the arms 14 and 15, their outer ends being secured to any suitable ixed support, not shown. The shaft 13 has through the space pokcrarm 2O proj ectingdc wnwardly.

source of power. The rol] irs 17, secured to suitable fixed supports (me as 14 being shown), ride on the top if the outer side of thering 4 to prevent th e ring from moving upwardly. rest against the periphery prevent lateral movement of the ring. The ring 4 carries one or more water-cooled poker-arms,- as 19 and S0, which project or slot l into the interior of the producer at such ingle or angles as may be desired.. I have shown the pokerarm 19 projecting radiali: and .horizontally into the producer, but thi direction of projection may be varied. 4 have .shown the Other poker-arms may be provl ded projecting in various directions, or all 2 nay be alike.

As the arms 19 and 20 ire alike except as to directions theyv take ii tlie producer, I will describe the arm 19 only. The polierarln 19 has therein a ve 'tical partition 21 which` extends fromthe outeriwall of the ring 4 below the trough 5 nearly-to the outer end. The passage 22 at c ne side of the' partit-ion communicates wi Th the trough 5. From the passage 22 th water flows past the end of the partition 21 into the return passage 23 in the pokei -arm at the other side of thepartition.` A t Vthe outer end of the passage 23 and in th s bottom thereof I rovide the outlet 24 whi :h discharges water into the trough 7. The `rater in the trough 7 may be carrcd'oil to a i desired` place, as the usual water-pit at th( ttom of the producer.

The poker arms and vided at one or both side with the plows or curved. surfaces 25 which lie in the slot 3 and mer ge at oppositeens into the poker-arms and the ring as shown on Figs. 2 and 3. The s irfaces or plows 25 are drawn from radii h wing centers l in the angle between the poker arms andY ring i, so that as the producer wall, the plows 25 will push back into the producer suchfuel as may have lodged in the slot i .V

2. In a gas-producer or the like, an inclosing vertical wall, having two sections separated by a horizontal space, a rotatable ring located outside theiperiphery of the inclosing wall whereby the fuel within the said wall cannot contact therewith, an annular water-trough on said ring, an annular guard on the upper section extending into the trough, an annular trough on the lower section, an annular guard on the ring extending into the lower trough, a hollow lpoker extending through the said space and into the producer and having one end of the hollow arranged to receive water from the upper trough and the other end arranged to discharge water into the lower trough, and means for rotating the ring.

3. In a gas-producer or the like, an inclosing vertical wall, having two sections sepay rated by a horizontal space, a rotatable ring outside the periphery of the wall, a poker thesaid space into the producer, a plow carried by the ring and located in the said space to push into the producer any fuel lodging in the said space, and means for rotating the ring.
