Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
An afterburner pollution control device for burning materials received from a separate incinerator in the form of a smoke mixture, comprising a combustion chamber elongated along a longitudinal axis, an inlet to said chamber adjacent one end of said chamber and a discharge outlet from the housing spaced from the inlet, a separate burner member adjacent said one end, and positioned on a side of said inlet opposite from the discharge outlet from said chamber, and a baffle means mounted in said chamber and adjustable in longitudinal direction along said chamber to regulate the size of said combustion chamber effectively between the inlet and the outlet thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
An afterburner pollution control device for burning materials received from a separate incinerator in the form of a smoke mixture, comprising a combustion chamber elongated along a longitudinal axis, an inlet to said chamber adjacent one end of said chamber and a discharge outlet from the housing spaced from the inlet, a separate burner member adjacent said one end, and positioned on a side of said inlet opposite from the discharge outlet from said chamber, and a baffle means mounted in said chamber and adjustable in longitudinal direction along said chamber to regulate the size of said combustion chamber effectively between the inlet and the outlet thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The combination specified in claim 1 and a smoke pipe from said incinerator connected to said inlet, said smoke pipe being round in cross section, and the inlet opening to said chamber being rectangular in cross section, and a transistion pipe section between said round pipe and said inlet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The combination specified in claim 2 wherein said chamber is circular in cross section, and said rectangular opening merges into the full diameter of the chamber in diametral direction, and is of less height along the longitudinal axis of said chamber than the diameter of said chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
