A CLOSED CONTAINER WAGON SUITABLE FOR TRANSPORTING HOT COKE

摘要

An apparatus for receiving incandescent coke from respective coke ovens of a horizontally arranged battery of coke ovens, comprises a wheeled carriage which is adapted to move backwardly and forwardly along the battery of coke ovens. A coke cake receiving device is mounted on said carriage and includes a hood portion which is adapted to be aligned with each of the coke ovens upon movement of the carriage to the particular coke oven to be discharged and which also includes means for separating contaminants from the gases which are generated from the coke and for discharging purified gases. The coke hood portion has an openable and closable lateral door for receiving the irridescent coke from the associated oven and for closing the hood thereafter. The coke entering the hood is received by a tank arranged below the hood. The tank may be formed so as to provide a closed or sealed connection with the hood portion and it includes engagement means thereon which permits either the tank alone or the tank with the hood portion to be lifted away from the carriage for transport to a separate location for discharge of the coke. When the coke receiving tank is disassociated from the hood, it is engaged with a cover so that it will keep the coke therewithin and prevent gases escaping therefrom during its movement.
