To 4null whom 'it may concern:

.lilo it. known that I JAMES A.. THOMPSON, u itlzen of. the United States, residing at with un arched opening 4 nt the bottom of Wh ich an incline is arranged. A platform 6 extends from the opening und supports n l'lonston, in the county of HurrisI und Stute chute 7 coveringthe opening 4 undlnwing u of'Texns, having invented u new und useful (lurlmgo-Crexnutory, of which the following is u spwtoation.

.My invention relatos to new und useful improvements in garbage crenmtories.

'hc object of thc invention is to provide a crcumtory constructed to crenlule garbage without the use of fuel other thun the gui'N linge itself und arranged to first dry the garbage to such an extent us to enable it to iufinerutrl itself.

A 'further object to proridiI nwuns for producing thcV required t'orccil `dl'ut'l und also the production of u reinforced furnace constructed to withstand the intense heut rcsultipo from the .crelnuting of the garbage.

Finally the object of` the invention is ,to provide u device of the character described that will he strong, durable, simple, eiiioient. umd comparativelyinexpensive to construct um! also one in `whichthe several parts will not be liable lo get. ont of ,working orderA i W'ith the above and other objects in view, my invention hns relation to certain novel features of operation and construction, un example of which is described in the followingTsg'x-.iioation sind illustrated in the acoompaqiymg drawings, whereln :A

It is obvious that in order to properly incinerate the garbage a powerful draft must be provided. In order to produce a forced draft a suitable blower engine 25 is conneeted with the boiler 14 by a pipe 2G. A.

pipe 2T extends fronl'the engine throughl the base of the furnace to the ash pit 23 while a pipe 28 enters the opposite side of the ash pit having Aconmiunication with the pipe 27 by a branch pipe 2t) extending around the base of the furnace as shown .in It`igs. 4 and 5. Forced draft supplied in this way passs up through the grate accelerating t 1e natural draft entering through the doorsQO and 21 and the conduits 22 assiug with the waste products of com ustion tlirou h a chimney 30 provided at the upper end 0% the furnace.

It is apparent that garbage deposited in this furnace will be first dried .so as to freely burn, it being understood that in starting the furnace a re is first kindled on the main grate 18. The garbage beinfy dried and fallin upon the main rate will be uickly bnrne or incinerated, iowever, shou d any part thereof fall through the grate 1S ity will e caught and consumed upon the undei= lyin grate 19.

i hat I claim, is:

1. In a garbage ereniatory, the combination with a furnace bod having a fuel receiving opening, of an inclined water tube grate arranged below the opening so as to reoeive fuel therefrom, a horizontal grate arranged seine distance below the water tube rrate and udaptedto receive the fuel there reni, and a second horizontal grate arranged below the first horizontal grate, said Second grate li-.ivinglsnialler openings than the first horizontal grate and arranged to provided in t receive unconsumed fuel passing through the first horizontal grate.

:2. ln a garbage creinalory, the coinbination with a furnace body having a fuel receiving openin il'. of inclined water tube grates arrangeiflbeloir the opening, a main grate .supported below theI water tube grilles, a secondary gratesupported below the main grate, draft regulating means associated` with the main grate, and draft regulating means associated with the secondaur grate.

ll. In a garbage creinatory, a furnace co1nprising a frate 18, oppositely arranged pre liminar)I trying grates 10 arranged to suceessively support the material at points above the grate and to deliver the material to the grate, the grates bein 1 in combination with an incline .3 arrange in approximate alinement with the first grate 10, but at a .somewhat greater inclination for guidingl the matter after its introduction into the furnace to said grate, substantially as described.

l. In a garbage creinatory a, furnace com# prising the'prelnninaiy burning grate 18. a second burning grate YS) arranged to receive material from the Urate 1S, andla pair of oppositely incliner grates l() adapted to initially support the material and arranged'above the burning grates and adapted to deliver the material to said grates, -substantially as described.

In a garbage ereinatory, a furnace comprising a burning grate, preliminary drying grate-s arrangeddn staggered relation thereabove, said grates being fixed in position and inclining in opposite diret-.tionsl toward each other from points nearI the side walls of the furnace to approximately the vertical center thereof whereby to successively support the material and acting by gravity to feed the material to the 'burning grate, 'substantially described.
