' -Myinvention relates tomethodsandiapparatusfor proj ecting' loose or plastic material:
a-nclparticularly to methods and apparatus for' applying material to furnace linings, al-
5 though its use isn'ot limited in thisrespect;
In repairing small area's in furnace linings, it is desirable that the repair material be added whil'e thefurnace is in a heated condition. Thisconditionprevents the direct application ofthe-repair material to the furnace wallsby hand. Machinery has heretofore been provided for injecting or throwing the repair material into the heated furnace. J Provision has been madein suchmachines for directing the'stream of'material into difierent face of'the groove.
parts of the furnace. For throwing thematerial, it hasbeen fed ontoa belt travelling at ahigh rate'of speed and discharged from the belt by its own inertia as the belt passes around a pulley. Such a machine is shownand d'escribed inmy. Patent No. 1,576,366, dated March 9, 1926'.
In that machine-the material is fed from a bin into a groove in a pulley. A projecting belt engages the outer face of'the pulley and enclosesthe groove, The material is thrown from the face of the groove, or by an auxiliary belt, onto the face of the driving belt- In such constructions where 'the material 0 is thrown from the face of the groove onto the projecting belt, the surface of'the groove becomes worn and smooth, thereby permitting the material to slip relative to the sur- Such slippage reduces the velocity of the material when fed upon the projecting belt and', consequently,fthe efficiency of the machine.
To increase the frictional'gengagement' between the face of the groove and the mate, rial, I add corrugations. The faces of the corrugations'may' be protected; from wear by providingremovable facing strips such as bolts or rods extending through the pulley.
- By utilizing corrugations and protecting strips, it materially increases the efficiency of the projecting machine. 7
For controlling the-direction of the discharged material, the grooved pulley, belt m and driving machineryare mounte'd'on a turntable, the position of which is'control'led I present preferred? by ah'andle; By raisingor lower-ingnthe pn= sition" of: the; handle, the inclination of the: dlscharged. material to the horizontal. is cum-r trolled. The: same handle; is made tbxconthxoli a: gatefor. shutting off? theisupply'of material to the pulley by a? twisting motiom This: construction eliminates separate: controlsnods for a bin gate and concentrates .alllth'eicontroli inechanismin one operatinghandlez In order to increase the-rangezoffapplica bility' ofv the machine, I provide a curvedv spoon carried by the projecting machine-and:
insertable through a. furnaceopening into: i
the path of the projected. material; *Upon': engagement with the spoon the: course: at. the projected material; is; deflected ,.and Sit-is directed into heretofore inaccessibleplaces: By the. use of a spoon" I am able. tor:'repiai1tlre front walls of: a furnace, which wallsznhave heretofore been inaccessible.

If it is desired to deflect the trajectory of the material 34, the spoon 31 is inserted into the furnace. In this manner the entire inner lining of the furnace may be reached.
While I have described my invention as applicable to the re-lining of furnaces, it is to be understood that its use is not so limited and that it can be applied to the handling of material other than furnace linings and for projecting material into spaces other than furnaces. Examples of other uses of such machines are for loading of box cars or the piling of stacks of loose material in places where it is impracticable to place a belt or other kind of conveyor.
While I have shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention it will'be understood that changes may be made in the details of construction and that it may be otherwise practiced without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the appended claims.
I claim: 1. In a projecting device, a pulley having a circumferential groove therein and frictional means comprising corrugations disposed at the bottom of the groove.
2. In a projecting device, a pulley having a circumferential groove therein and frictional means comprising removable members extending transversely of the groove.
3. In a projecting device, a pulley hav-.
ing a peripheral groove therein and frictional means comprising corrugations and removable'metallic wearing members cooperating with the surfaces of the corrugations.
4:. Apparatus for projecting loose material comprising a pulley having a peripheral frictional means disposed at the base of the groove, a belt havingits outer surface in engagement with the periphery of said pulley and spanning said groove, said belt being bent around said pulley to engage a substantial arc of its periphery, means for driving said'last mentioned belt and rotating said pulley, and means for feeding'material into said groove and into engagement with the frictional means at the upper side of said pulley, substantially as described.

6. Apparatus for projecting loose material comprising a pulley mounted to rotate upon a horizontal axis and having a peripheral groove terminating in friction means, means for controlling the supply of material to the groove, a belt having its outer surface in engagement with the periphery of said pulley 7 In the method of lining the inner walls of a furnace adjacent to a door, the steps consisting in throwing a stream of material through the open door and deflecting the stream of material from its direction of movement while passing through the door into engagement with an inner wall of the furnace adjacent to the door.
8. In the method of lining the inner walls of a furnace adjacent to a door, the steps consisting in throwing a stream of material through the open door and deflecting the stream of material from its direction of movement while passing through the door into engagement with an inner wall, of. the furnace inaccessible to said stream of material while following a trajectory in which it passes through theopen door.
