Abstract 1. Apparatus for cleaning the ascension pipes of a coke oven battery comprising, support means mounted on the coke oven battery above the ascension pipes associated with the coke oven, said support means being movable longitudinally along said coke oven battery, a tubular telescopic rod member rotatably mounted on said support means, said telescopic rod member having a plurality of sections of decreasing outer dimensions so that said sections telescope within each other, means non-rotatably connecting said plurality of sections, a cleaning tool connected to the bottom section of said telescopic rod member, a cable member extending downwardly through a passageway in said tubular telescopic rod member and connected at one end to the lower end of the bottom section, said cable member other end connected to a winch member positioned above said tubular telescopic rod member, means to unwind said cable from said winch and extend said plurality of sections of said telescopic rod member within said ascension pipe, and means to rotate said cleaning tool removes carbonaceous or graphitic deposits from the inner surface of said ascension pipe.
