Leading to the burner and mounted in the pocket l0 is an oil or gas supply pipe i4.

The burner structure is built of brick and is "reinforced exterioriy, :it 'the sides, front and rear by. vertically disposed metallic strips l5. The strips l5 at the front and rear of the burner structure are connected together by' tie bars 16 and the strips 15 as Well as the sides oit the burning structure are connected vtog .1;'ether by tie b'ers 17. Mounted in, the iov'v'er' portion ot the strootiti ' inner end thereof, in

4bars 18 providing a reinforcement.` The rear wall 6 is triangular in contour, as well as the bottom 7, but the latter is `positioned in a reversed manner with respect to said rear wall 6. The said bottom 7 is of a height as to extend to approximately half the height of said rear wall 6 and near the proximity to the rear:

. down said inclined surface it will be attacked by the flame `from the burner and wall 6, has a bathe 19.

The inclined inner face of the rear wall.- 6 has a lining of tile as indicated at 20 and` which extends from the upper portion of said inclined inner face to the lower-end thereof. The inclined face of the bottom 7,

` as indicated at 2l opposes but is spaced from the lower portion of the tile lining 20, under such conditions .providing a discharge runway which is divided by inclined partitons-23 into 'a series of discharge channels 24.

The side ' walls 12, 13, areI of a thickness less than the thickness of the uprights of ,thle base l, but said side walls' are flushed with the outerltace'of said uprights and by setting up the side walls, with respect to lthe uprights, in a manner as stated, supporting ledges 25 are provided upon which is mounted a rectangular frame 26, constituting a directing element and into which the lower ends of the discharge channels 24 open. frame 26 are beveled as at 27.

The front uprights oteach pair of uprights have lateral extending supporting members 28 which are anchored therein and extend therefrom and mounted upon said members 2S in 'the directing element is a cooler comprising acasing consisting-o4l a body portion 29, having a funnel-sha d bottom 3() which communicates with a discharge pipe 31, provided with acut-olf 32. Arranged within the body portion 29 are cooling pipes 33, to which a cooling medium is supplied and discharged in any suitable manner yand the `said cooler element is adapted to receive the disintegrated bone from the combustion chamber 11', through the medium oi the discharge channels 24 and directing element and when the disintegrated bone is supplied to the cooling element it is cooled, and when desired discharge Jfrom the cooling element can he had through the pipe 31.

The baille 19, upon the` bottom 7, is in the form of a checker work, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 2, and arranged in advance of the said'baille 19 is the inner end of an air supply pipe 34. The latter is built in the bottom 7 and the inlet end of the said supply pipe is positioned just in advance of a burner which is arranged within the pocket l0 whereby the necessary amount of air can be supplied t6 create the proper combustion.-

. tile 39.

The inner faces of the ends of the nieces? The top 5 of' the burner structure has its lower face set upy in the form of an arch as indicated at 35 and the said top 5 in proximity to its rear end is formed with a transversely extending inlet opening 36 through which the bone to be disintegrated is supplied by gravity to the combustion chamber 11, and upon the inclined face of the rear wall 6 whereby as the bone shifts i thereof with va heating chamber 37 of triangular contour andwhich communicates with the inlet 36.v The bottom of the chamber 37 is inclined as at 38 and has a face of Secured to the tiles-39 are vertically disposed spaced triangular bars 40 which divide the chamber 37 into a series of channels 4l. The partitions 40 as well as the inclined surface of the bottom are of less height than the height of the chamber 37 and extending across the top of the partitions 40 is a horizontally disposed aper tured member 42.

Arranged forward of the chamber 37 is a dust flue 43, which has its top provided with a baille 44 and-which has its top opening into the chamber 37.forward with respect to the member 42. The dust flue 43 is near the same height as the chamber 3"( and the lower portion of said flue 43 opens into a pair of forward projecting and inward inclined fines 44, 45, which open into the lower end of a vertically disposed dust flue 46 of materially less width and breadth than the width and breadth ot the flue 43. Opening into the lower end of the flue 4G, as well as into the bottom of the flue 43, is a horizontally disposed flue 47 which is disposed centrally with respect to the liuc 43. The

flue is of greater height than the flue 43.. `The lower end of the flue 46 has an e11- trance opening 48, normally closed by a door 49 and each of the fines 44, 4G, has an entrance opening 50 normally closed by a door 51. The openings 48 and 50 and doors 49 and 51, provide means whereby access can be had to the lines 44, 45 and 46 t'or the purpose of cleaning them and the openings 48 and door 49 also permit access being had to the Hue 47. i'hrangcd within the rombined flue, hopper and heating chamber structure, at the upper portion thereof' and above the chamber .37, and lines l-l, A14 and 45, is a hopper chan'zber 52, having its bottom Vprovided with a face of tiling 53. The bottom of the hopper chamber ii'fclines from the front and rear toward the @enter and is formed with an outlet 55.

niemeer chamber is a material supply controlling,Iv clement 60 form/ed of an inner and an outer elongated cylindrical member` 56, 57 respectively. The outer member 56 is formed with rpairs ot slots V58 and the slots of each pair of rows are arranged ,opposite each other. The inner member 57 is formed throughout with rows of slots 59 arranged diametrically opposite each other. The slots 58, 59 are rectangular incontour and the slots 58 are adapted to register with the slots 59 whereby the material can be supplied. from the hopper, through the apertured member 42, into the heatingr chamber 37. |The open-- ings in the member 52 register with the channels 4l.

@ne end ci. each of the members G, 5?, is closed as indicated at 60, G1, and extending through the openings 62 formed in the end 60 is a turning bar G3, which is fixedly secured in the boss G4 integral with the end 6l. and the member 57. The bar 63 is jour naled in one side of the combined flue, hopper and heating chamber structure and -projects outwardly from said side and provided with a hand lWheel 65. i

The controlling-g element is of a length substantially equal to the width of the combined lue, hopper and heating chamber structure and the outer member 56 of said element is liXedly secured within said struc# ture so that it cannot be shifted. The inner member 57 turns Within the outer member 56, through the medium of a bar 63 and a 66, closed by a door 67' and by suchv an arrangement access can be had to the heating chamber 37.

The combined flue, hopper and heat-ing chamber structure has the top thereof Aformed with a verticallyl disposed dust flue 68 which has its lower end opening into the v'forward portion of the hopper chamber 52, and furthermore communicates with. the upper portion ot the dust flue 46 by an inclined flue 69, the top Wall '70 of which extends' across the upper end of the liue 46.

rllhe top of the iiue 70 constitutes a baille deflecting the dust into the hopper chamber 52 and in such connection it will be'stated that when the draft becomes very great in the retort chamber ll, the bone dust or certain portion thereof, is carried up Ythrough the heating chamber 3.7, into the flue 43, 'thence through the lues 44, 45, and 4:7 .`into the iue 4G, whero the dust is carried upward and strikes against the battle 70 and is then.v

tial

deflected into the hopper chamber 53, by this arrangement Waste 1s reduced to a minimum.

The inclined bottom Wall et the chamber chamber. The battle i9, which is formed of C checker work, will also assist in spreading the flame so that the material will be fairly attacked Within the combustion chamber.` y

.From the foregoinp' it isfobvious that We have described structure whereby during the movement *of material 'from the heating chamber to the combustion chamber it will be continuously subjected to the action oli heat disintegrating the material and after the saine has been disintegrated it can be cooled-due to the fact lthat the material is discharged trom the combustion chamber into the cooler.
