Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
An incinerator having a housing including a loading opening for the supply of particulate fuel thereto and an exhaust opening for the exhaust of gaseous products of combustion therefrom, loading means mounted adjacent the loading opening to feed the particulate fuel into the incinerator, said loading means comprising a hopper arranged to receive a mass of particulate matter for combustion, a feeder housing subjacent thereto and outboard from the loading opening, a feeder disc in said feeder housing having slinger vanes on the upper surface thereof for advancing the particulate fuel from the feeder disc through the loading opening of the incinerator, means for rotating the feeder disc about its axis to impart centrifugal force to the particulate fuel being supplied thereto, and cleaning means on the underside of said feeder disc adapted to void the space adjacent thereto of particulate matter that escapes contact with the slinger vanes on the upper surface of the feeder disc.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
