Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented sept. s, 1914.
Application filed November 17, 1908; Serial No. 463,070. l
To all whom it may concern:
lle' it known that J., CHARLES B. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Evanston, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and -useful Improvements in Refractory Arches for Locomotive- Boiier Furnaces, of which the following is a i'ull, true, clear, and exact description, such -as will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the saine.
My *inventionv relates to improvements in refractory arches for locomotive boiler furnaces and has special reference to unproveiuentsf in arches ot the kind which are carlock in such manner as to form a substan-` tially solid vrefractmy porting tubes.
My invention will be more readily. underbody upon the supstood -bf reference to the accomian ino'.-
drawings forming a part this specification andin which; l
Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section ot a locomotive tire-:mx containing an arch embodying my invention, the section being on the line ry-Y oi Fig. i2; L. is a horizontal sectional view on the line lli-X of Fig. l; Fig. 3 au enlarged vertical transverse section on the line .75 Z oi2 l and Q; Fig. 4 is a similar view illustrating the form ot the arch in a narrow firebon; and Figs. Vi and il are peisiiective details of the ends ot' two ot the arch bricks showing how they are formed to interlock.
A locomotive fire-box as chown in the drawings is arranged within the shell, 2, of the boiler; it is made up of the flue sheet,
'part of the flue sheet to the upper part of the rear sheet.l The refractory arch, A,
about to be described rests upon and i's'sup ported by these arch tubes, 11. The lower end of the arch preferabl abuts the flue sheet, 3. In a fire-box lor the wide type there are usually four of the water circulating or arch tubes, ll, and the arch is made up ofv three longitudinal rows of refractory bricks.
In Fig. 2 the bricks composing'the several rows are marked, A', A2, and AS. Each brick is of a size which will permit its being introduced into the re-box through the fuel door, 8. Smaller bricks arenot desirable nor are larger bricks. All of the bricks are longenough to reach across two of the tubes,
l1, yand the ends of the brick are shaped or' formed t0 interlock upon lines above said tubes.V Thus as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the ends of each brick are inclined and provided with locking ribs or ledges, A", and gromes,
The bricks, A and A2, are relatively inverted and the'ribs or ledges of each brick fit the grooves of the adjoiningbricks; I
preerthat abrupt angles shallbe avoided,
hence the beveled or'inclined ends or surfaces, A", A, upon-the bricks. By interlocking the bricks of each transverse row in this manner `I enjoin or organize them into' a body of suliicient weight to retain its place upon the tubes, ll'. As the bricks occupy inclined positions upon the tubes, it is not necessary to interlock them upon rtransverse lines. A narrow irebox as show-n 1n Fig.
l usually contains only tliree arch tubes, 11',`
ll. ll', and in these cases I form the arch of only two longitudinal rows of bricks, .7;,' 7;. The ends of the bricks abut above the middle tube, l1', and are interlocked by ledges, A, A4, of thesame general form as before described. The outer ends, b, of the bricks need not be provided with interlocking ribs an(l..grooves, but are preferably beveled as shown in Fig. 4. The advantage of the particular brick form herein shown is that 'the bricks. are interchangeable.
As the various modifications of my invention will readily suvgest themselves to one skilled in the art, Iodo not confine the kinvention to the specic structures herein shown and described.
