nrr STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SAMUEL GLOVER AND JOHN WEST, OF SOUTH PORT, ENGLAND.
COKE-DISCHARGING APPARATUS FOR VERTICAL RETORTS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 9, 1911.
Application filed September 9, 1910. Serial N0.-581,209.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, SAMI'EL (lumen and JOHN WEST, subjects of the King of Great. Britain and Ireland, residing at Olive mount, St. Annes, St. Hele'ns. and The Firs, Park Road, Southport, both in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coke-Discharging Apparatus for Vertical Retorts, of which the following is aspecification.
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of a helix or worm discharging apparatus applied for the purpose of discharging the coke from vertical retorts used in the distillation of coal shale and the like, and has for its object the construction of the helix or worm in two sections so that one section can be partly rotated on its axis or spindle to such an extent that a free space is made which will permit the inspection of the retort and a ready access to the retort when it is required to be scurfed or cleared from carbon deposits on the interior of the retort; the scurfing tools being insertcd through the space made between the two sections of the worm.
When the Worm is in action for discharg ing the retort, the two sections are joined torcther and held together by a catch which can be released in a ready manner through an inspection hole provided in the coke chamber.
In order that our 1nvent1on may be readily understood, we shall proceed to describe the same in reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 shows the worm when divided.
leferring to Figs. ,1 to 5 the worm is made 111 two parts a and b, the parta being free to rei'olve on the shaft or axis 0, but the:
part b is secured to the shaft c. The motion of the shaft 0 when the two parts aand b are coupled together causes the worm to revolve as though it was constructed in one piece.
(Z and ti are lugs cast on the faces of the parts a and Z); c is the eye bearing for the pin (Z which holds the catch f.
is an inspection door in the coke receiving chamber below the worm discharging apparatus and through which access is made to the worm for the purpose of releasing or fixing the catch f when it is required to separate the two sections of the worm, and which. also permits the inspection of the retorts and the insertion of the scurfing tools.
h is a vertical retort to which the improved discharging apparatus is applied.
WVhat we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In combination, a helix composed of two sections, each of said sections extending,
through a portion only of a complete annulus, whereby there will be a space formed between the ends of each section and a shaft, one of said sections aflixed to said shaft and the other of said sections being rotatably mounted upon said shaft, whereby said other sect-ion may be rotated to cause the space formed between its ends to register withthe space formed between the ends of said first section. and means for holdingsaid second section against rotation with one'of its endsengaging one of the ends of said first section to form a continuous helix.
In testimony whereof we have affixed our signatures. in presence of two witnesses. Y
