Abstract
Abstract The invention is an improved incinerator system including an improved manner of feeding the incinerator with the products to be burned and air. Both the air and products are fed through an inlet chute with the product discharging from the bottom of the chute laterally across the fire bed of the incinerator proper, with a large proportion of the air conveying the products being exhausted at the upper end of the chute. The products to be burned are distributed over the fire bed but below or into the fire line or fire zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
An incinerator system for burning materials comprising: first mans for comminutating the materials; an incinerator adapted to hold a fire bed and maintain a fireline and fire zone over said bed; second means for moving by air particles of comminuted material from the first mans to an inlet to the incinerator; air and particle distribution means within the incinerator connected to said inlet and positioned to utilize at least a portion of said air to distribute said particles over said fire bed at or just below said fireline but not above the fireline; and means for conducting products of combustion from the incinerator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
An incinerator system for burning materials comprising: first mans for comminutating the materials; an incinerator adapted to hold a fire bed and maintain a fireline and fire zone over said bed; second means for moving by air particles of comminuted material from the first mans to an inlet to the incinerator; air and particle distribution means within the incinerator connected to said inlet and positioned to utilize at least a portion of said air to distribute said particles over said fire bed at or just below said fireline but not above the fireline; and means for conducting products of combustion from the incinerator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The incinerator of claim 1 in which the distribution means distributes at least a portion of said air within the incinerator above the fire zone.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
The incinerator of claim 1 in which the distribution means comprises a chute having a first opening at one end thereof and a second opening remote from the first opening, the chute being positioned in the incinerator so that the first opening is adapted to direct said particles over the fire bed at or just below said fireline, and the second opening is adapted to direct air into the incinerator above said fire zone.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The incinerator of claim 3 in which said second opening is provided with means to minimize the escape therefrom of said particles.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
The incinerator of claim 1 in which the second means includes an air blower, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet side of said first means, and the outlet of the blower is connected to said distribution means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
122 words
The incinerator of claim 3 in which said chute comprises a hollow tubular body vertically mounted at one end of the incinerator, the lower end of the body being provided with a closure means closing the end of the body in such manner as to leave a particle distribution opening at said lower end directed toward said fire bed and at a height approximately that of said fireline, the closure means being angled to the horizontal so as to deflect particles through said distribution opening; the body being provided with a second opening at a height above said fireline, the second opening being provided with openings therein to permit the passage of air therethrough but to minimize the passage of particles therethrough.
