THOMAS B. MOA'TS,
GF BUCYBUS, OHIQ.
BEMOVABLE-TOP CONTIIMTUOUS KILN.
Application filed .Tune 9,
To all wzomit may concem:
Be it known that I, THOMAS B. MoATs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bucyrus, in the County of Crawford and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Removable-Top Continuous Kiln, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to kilns, the primary object of the invention being to provide a kiln having a removable top or crown whereby the kiln may be emptied or filled from a point exteriorly thereof.
A further object of the invention is to provide a Crown Constructed of a plu'rality of interloc-king blocks for'med of fire clay or the like.
Tith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawingsz- Figure 1 is a transverse section-al Vview through a kiln Constructed in accordance with the present invention.
1Figure 2 is a fragmental plan view of the ki n. v
Figure 3 is a fragmental side elevational view of the kiln.
Figure 4 is an enlarged detail view disclosing the means for connecting the frame work of the crown, to the fire clay bricks.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the kiln is of the usual construction as far as the base or body portion thereof is concerned, and is shown as provided with the usual fireboxes 5 which communicate with the smoke stacks through the ducts 6 and passageways 7.
Heat is direoted to the interior of the kiln in the usual manner, through the passag'eways 8 dis'posed in the opposite sides of the kiln and formed in the side walls 9 thereof.
The upper inner surfaces of the walls 9 of the kiln are inclined as at 10 to conform to the inclined surfaces 11 of the crown 12,
1921. Serial No. 476,296.
so that When the crown is positioned on the sicle walls 9, the inc'lined edges of the Crown 12 will contact with the inclined edges lO causing the crown to be properly seated on the kiln walls in a manner to prevent lateral movement thereof.
The crown 12 which forms an important feature of the invention, is formed of a plurality of curved supporting beams 13 which have right angled extremities adapted to rest on the upper edges of the side walls 9 of the kiln. The supporting beams 13 are arranged in spaced relation with each other throughout the length of the kiln, and have connection with the longitudinally disposed eye beams let which are supported in spaced relation transversely of the crown 12.
These I beams 14 provide supports for the fire clay blocks 15, each of which being provided with a groove of a shape to conform to the contour -of an I beam, so that the fire clay blocks may be positioned on the I beam.
Each block 15 is provided with a lateral groove 16 formed in one side face thereof,
there being provided a tongue 17 extending from the opposite side face thereof, the tongue 17 being designed to fit within the groove 16 of the adjacent block 15, when the blocks are positioned on the I beams of the Crown.
The blocks 15 are also formed with reinforcing walls 18 which connect the side walls of the blocks, strengthening the side walls of the blocks and rendering the same capable of withstanding the strain direct-cd thereto by the weight of the adjacent block.
From the foregoing it will be seen that a crown constructed in accordance with the present invention, may be readily and easily removed by connecting a crane thereto, it being understood that the top is to be removed in sections, the crane having connection with the sections in any suitable manner whereupon the oven may be readily lilled from the top thereof.
Then the oven has been filled, it is obvious that the c-rane may be operated to return the crown to its normal position.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is A kiln including side walls having the upper inner surfaces thereof inclined, a
crown comprsng curved supporting beams, I beams having connection with the curvecl supporting beams, a plurality of blocks having grooves to accommodate the I' beams, to support4 the block, and said blocks having lateral tongues and grooves, Whereby advjacent blocks may be interlocked-` THOMAS' B. MOATS. WVtnesses S. E. AUOK, MARGARET. WILLACKER.
