Description: |
Abstract:
The object of my invention is to so construct the grate that by very slight changes of adjustment which may be readily made by the ordinary operator the furnace may be converted from a coal-burning to a straw-burning furnace, or vice versa, and by which the amount of grate-surface may be varied quickly to adapt the furnace for the use of different conditions of fuel.
Claim:
In a furnace, the combination with a series of grate-bars, of a dead-plate mounted at one end of the grate-bars, a supplemental dead-plate mounted upon the main dead-plate and movable longitudinally thereof and along the grate-bars, and means for holding said supplemental plate in various positions of longitudinal adjustment on the grate-bars. |
