ments of the invention illustrated'in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 illustrates a part-sectional front view of a heating device;
Fig. 2 shows the same device in a part-sectional side view,
Fig. 3 shows a partial top view of the device represented by Figs. 1 and 2, while Fig. 4 illustrates a part-sectional front view of a second embodiment in which the distance between the two heating plates is variable.
In all the figures identical reference characters are used for indicating similar elements.
The heating device illustrated by Figs. 1, 2 and 3, contains a base structure composed of a base plate a, two side walls a, and two sup-- porting arms a". Two metallic heating plates b and c are mounted on this base structure and are held in proper position relative to each other by means of side plates f mounted on plate c. Each of the two heating plates is provided with an electric heating unit, b and 0, respectively. The heating surfaces of the plates b and 0 face each other so that a narrow interstitial heating chamber d is formed which extends horizontally. The height of the heating chamber is only slightly greater than that of the tablets or briquettes to be heated. A table g is arranged in front of the heating chamber and has its supporting surface in alignment with the heating surface of the lower plate b. The table g is mounted on the base structure of the device by means of a hinge h so that it forms a flap which may be tilted downward, as shown in Fig. 2 by broken lines, in order to discharge the tablets from the table surface into a collecting container is. A frame e fitting into the narrow heating chamber is arranged in .such a way that it may be moved out of the heating chamber onto the table 9. A handle 1 journalled about stationary pivots i is connected with the frame e by means of two coupling rods 7 engaging a cross-bar I connected with the frame. When moving the handle 1' from the position shown in Fig. 2 by solid lines, into the position shown in the same figure by broken lines, the frame e is moved from the heating chamber onto the surface of the table g. The cross-bar I is slidably carried by the supporting arms a", as will be seen from Figs. 2 and 3, so that the frame e retains its position when the table 9 is tilted.
The heating device above described is operated as follows: While the table g is in the position shown in Fig. 2 by solid lines, the frame e is placed on the table in the position illustrated by broken lines. The tablets or briquettes to be preheated are placed on the table g so as to lie within the opening of the frame e. Now the handle 1 is moved into the position shown in Fig. 2 by solid lines, thereby passing the frame e and the tablets placed therein into the heating chamber between the metal plates After the heating treatment is finished, that is, after a certain time has elapsed, the handle 1' isreturned to its original position wherein the tablets again rest on the table 9. By now tilting the table g, the tablets are discharged therefrom.
As the above-described embodiment shows,
the device according to the invention consists of relatively few individual elements of simple and inexpensive construction. The. mode of op- In Fig. 2 one tablet is indicated by'r.
eration of the device is extremely simple so that no particular skill or care is necessary for executing the heat treatment.
The heating device illustrated inFlg. 4 has, in general, the same construction as the abovedescribed embodiment, except that the upper heating plate 0 is movably guided on two studs m and 12. allowing the plate to be raised or lowered in order to adjust the distance between the heating surfaces of the two plates. 'The raising or lowering may be effected by any suitable means; in Fig. 4 for instance, these means are represented by a member 0 connected with the upper plate 0 and an actuating lever 1) passing through an opening of the member 0. By actuating the lever, the plate 0 is moved upward or downward. The frame e and the tablets placed therein are moved into the heating chamber while the plate 0 is in raised position. Then the plate is lowered until it rests upon the frame e or upon stops having the height of the tablets to be heated. After the treatment is finished, the plate c is raised before the frame e is removed from the heating chamber.
