MEANS FOR TRANSFERRING ME TA L. FROM FURNACES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 539,563, dated May 21, 1895. Application filed July 18,1894- Serial No. 517,945. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM D. YOUNG, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Means for Transferring Metal from Furnaces, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a furnace, showing the relation of the traveling carrier thereto. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the furnace and carriers, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail of a portion of the conveyor.

My invention relates to the transferring of metal from aheating furnace to apoint where it is furtheracted upon, and more particularly to the conveying of blanks from a reheating furnace to mechanism for further action thereon.

In the drawings, 2 representsa reheating or blank furnace, having a horizontal series of outlet doors 3 along one side of the same, through which the heated blanks are withdrawn. The doors 3 rest upon projecting ledges-4, and in front of the doors and just below the level thereof extends the endless conveyer 5, upon which the blanks fall when drawn through the outlet openings. The conveyer carries the blanks to and deposits them upon a table 6, which is in front of a pair of rolls arranged to turn in the edge of the blanks and remove the scale therefrom.

The carrying-plates 7 ofthe conveyer extend laterally beyond the carrying chains and slide upon wearing-plates 8 secured to channel-beams 9 supported upon each side of the chains along the upper path of their travel, while on their lower path the plates move over a floor 10.

The standards 11, which support the floor and outer channel beam, carry at their upper ends a flat vertical plate 12, which forms an outer inclosing strip for the conveyer and ings, and dropping them upon the conveyor they are taken at once without loss of time or appreciable lowering of temperature to the table 6 and dropped thereon.

The advantages of the invention result from the automatic action of the conveyer and its peculiar location relatively to the exit openings, so that no handling of the metal is necessary.

Many changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the conveyer and other parts without departing from my invention; since What I claim is- 1. The combination with a blank-heating furnace having a horizontal series of exit openings, of a continuously-moving conveyer substantially flush with the bottom of said openings, and a retaining plate at the outer edge of the conveyer; substantially as described.

2. The combination with' ablank-heating furnace having a horizontal series of exit openings, of a conveyer passing longitudinally beneath and adjacent to said openings and arranged to receive'the blanks drawn from said openings, and a rest for the operators rod above the conveyer; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
