raras Nrrs PATENT JOHN J. G. COLLINS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
Specilieation forming part of Letters Patent No. 3012,50 E, dated May It, trito.
To rtl/Z whom, it 'fit/ty mmc/:ria:
' Be it known that. l, Jol-IN J. G. COLLINS, of the city and count y ofPhiladelphia,and State of Pennsylvania irc invented certain Improvements in the f-`- anul'acture of Iron, of which the tolldnin a specification.
The natur my invention consists in the .introductioi a current ot steam, in conjunction with thv blast to the ordinary Catalan or bloomery fire, and thereby to manufacture a more perl'ect wrought-iron direct from the ore or pip` metal.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation.
Refcrri ng to the drawing accom panying` this specification, the figure is a general elevation ot' the furnace, with some of the parts in section.
The Rogers furnace (an improvement on the old Catalan furnace) is shown surrounded by walls of cast-iron A, and a hollow hearth plate, O. The tuyere I) enters through the Waterplate E. A blank waterplate, F, is shown bolted to the opposite side l'or replacen'ient- The chimney G is carried upon a base-plate, H, resting upon pillars Ii, and the whole upon a bed ot' masonry. Vithin the chimney are placed the hot-blast pipes M, restintr upon the basevplate H. m is the inlet Al'or the cold air. m is the outlet forthe hot-blast.
In the chimney. above the blast-pipes, is fixed a steam-boiler, N the steam from which passes down the pipe O through valve p, and enters the bottom of the hot-blast pipe at o', and from thence passes along beneath the blast into the furnace. Cold-blast may also be used. R represents the bloom ot' iron in a state of semif'nsion. Above it is the ore and charcoal. The eiiect ot' the steam playing;` on the metal or bloom has the effect ot' more thoroughly deoxdizingand decarbonizing` the metal and rcduc ing,` itto a more duct-ile state, termed in the trade bringingto nature, :it ene operation. The quantity or' steam admittet'l is regulated by the valve p, the handle ot' which, p, passes over a graduated arc, so that the workman can control the amount according to the working of the metal. The advantage and beneficial result of this process is most, perceptible on magnetic and tit-aniierous and all refractory ores.
I make no claim to the particular' arrangement ot the blast-pipes or the position ot' the boiler, as steam may be taken from any usual source.
NV hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
rPhe application of steam, combined with the blast in the tuyerc or pipes connected therewith, tort-he purpose ot'rcducing magnetic and other refractory ores to a malleable state, as herein described.
