Coke car for a battery of coke ovens

摘要

A coke car is moved along a battery of coke ovens to a location for receiving coke from an oven chamber while the car is stationary and for moving to beneath a quenching tower. The coke car includes a generally square box-like container having side walls sealed with a floor that is pivoted about a horizontal axis to bear against seal members. The horizontal axis is spaced from the wall of the car adjacent the coke bench by a distance less than the distance between the axis and the wall of the car adjacent the oven platform. The seal members are disposed on the top of part of the floor which moves away from a side wall during pivotal movement and seal members are disposed on the bottom of a floor part which moves upwardly along a wall of the container during pivotal movement.
