REVERBERATORY SMEL'l'lNG-FURNACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,992, dated September 11, 1883. Application filed February 28, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, RILEY PORTER WILsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, county of Guyahoga, and State-of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Reverberatory smelting-Furnace, of which the following is a specification. I
My invention relates to improvements in reverberatory smelting-furnaces; and the ob- Io ject of my improvements is to provide a combination of furnaces,whereby to reduce to a metallic state ores or minerals by a single heat, and obtain the metal contained in said ores or minerals, and thereby cheapen the pro duetion of iron, steel, or other metals, and improve the quality of the various metals by subjecting them to but one melting heat. I obtain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a vertical section of the combined furnaces. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the furnaces, the top being removed.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In Fig. 1, A 0 represent the combination of reverberatory smelting-furnaces, while B in- Fig. 2 occupiesthe same relationto O, the receiving-furnace, as does A in Fig. 1. The two furnaces A B have one opening at the rear end of each and connecting with furnace O, which is larger than either A or B. The hearth of G is constructed below the inclining hearths of AB, in order to receive and hold the metal smelted by the furnaces A B, where also the contents can be puddled through the doors a a. A tap-hole in the side of the furnace O is operated as in common reverberatory furnaces. There is a common draft through all the furnaces through flue E and stack D.
The method of operating these furnaces be- 40 ing similar to that used in ordinary reverberatory furnaces, it is not necessary to describe it, except to say that when the iron or steel is being manufactured furnace O can be used as a puddling-furnace, and the metal of the ores of iron may be converted into iron or steel,
according to the elements brought into fusion. I am aware that reverberatory furnaces for smelting. purposes have been used as singlereverberatory furnaces, operating in conjuncas and for the purposes set forth.
2. The combination of two or more reverberatoryfurnaces with inclined hearths, with an additional reverberatory furnace having a depressed hearth, the arrangement being substantially as set forth,whereby the last-named 7o furnace is adapted to receive fluid metal immediately from each of the other furnaces, substantial] y as and for the purposes set forth.
