Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
In a battery of coke ovens provided with a plurality of upright outwardly extending buckstays positioned along a side thereof and a plurality of vertically elongated door openings positioned between the buckstays the improvement comprising a pair of upright fluid conductors one positioned along each side of a door opening outside thereof between the door opening and its adjoining buckstay and within the outward extent of the buckstay, a fluid supply main connected therewith, a plurality of fluid nozzles spaced from each other along each fluid conductor and directed inwardly toward the door opening and upwardly, a fume hood positioned above the door opening, and suction-producing means connected therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
In a battery of coke ovens provided with a plurality of upright outwardly extending buckstays positioned along a side thereof and a plurality of vertically elongated door openings positioned between the buckstays the improvement comprising a pair of upright fluid conductors one positioned along each side of a door opening outside thereof between the door opening and its adjoining buckstay and within the outward extent of the buckstay, a fluid supply main connected therewith, a plurality of fluid nozzles spaced from each other along each fluid conductor and directed inwardly toward the door opening and upwardly, a fume hood positioned above the door opening, and suction-producing means connected therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The apparatus of claim 1 in which the fume hood is positioned between the upper ends of the buckstays and within their outward extent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
110 words
Apparatus of claim 1 including an elongated open ended but otherwise enclosed coke guide having parallel side walls, means for moving the coke guide longitudinally toward and away from the door opening and sealing means affixed to the entry end of the coke guide adapted to seal the guide to the coke oven door opening when the coke oven guide is moved there against, those sealing means comprising a narrow sealing element extending around and beyond the entry end of the coke guide in line with the walls thereof, affixed thereto by compression spring means, those sealing means and spring means being contained within the coke oven guide wall limits.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The apparatus of claim 1 including an exhaust manifold connecting the suction-producing means with the fume hoods, a valve in each such fume hood connection and a valve in each connection between the fluid supply means and the pair of upright fluid conduits for each oven door.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The apparatus of claim 4, in which the exhaust manifold is positioned above the upper ends of the buckstays.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
79 words
The method of collecting gases and solid particles escaping from the upright doorway of a coke oven comprising projecting jets of entraining fluid from each side of the doorway outside thereof inwardly toward the doorway and upwardly so as to entrain gases and solid particles therein and propel them upwardly against the doorway and applying upwardly directed suction immediately above the doorway so as to draw entraining fluid, gases and solid particles upwardly across the doorway into collecting means.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
79 words
The method of collecting gases and solid particles escaping from the upright doorway of a coke oven comprising projecting jets of entraining fluid from each side of the doorway outside thereof inwardly toward the doorway and upwardly so as to entrain gases and solid particles therein and propel them upwardly against the doorway and applying upwardly directed suction immediately above the doorway so as to draw entraining fluid, gases and solid particles upwardly across the doorway into collecting means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
59 words
The method of claim 6 for collecting gases and solid particles escaping from the doorway of a coke oven while coke is being pushed therefrom including the steps of causing the coke from the oven to travel through a closed guide and urging the entry end of the guide against the oven doorway so as to seal it thereto.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 6 in which the oven doorway has upright outwardly extending buckstays positioned on each side thereof and in which the jets of entraining fluid are projected within the buckstays and the suction is applied between the buckstays.
