Abstract
Abstract The present invention discloses a furnace gas sampling device provided with a gate valve of the type in which a swingable valve disk is actuated to seal a lance insertion hole formed through the furnace wall when a lance is retracted away from the furnace and a mechanism for discharging dust and the like out of the valve box while the valve disk sealing the lance insertion hole.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A device for sampling gases from a furnace consisting of the provision of a. a lance adapted to be moved axially forwardly or backwardly along guide frames by hydraulic driving cylinders, and b. a gate valve provided with a swingable valve disk for sealing the furnace when said lance is retracted out of the furnace and a dust discharge mechanism for discharging dust and the like accumulated in a valve box out of the valve box.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
76 words
A device for sampling gases from a furnace consisting of the provision of a. a lance adapted to be moved axially forwardly or backwardly along guide frames by hydraulic driving cylinders, and b. a gate valve provided with a swingable valve disk for sealing the furnace when said lance is retracted out of the furnace and a dust discharge mechanism for discharging dust and the like accumulated in a valve box out of the valve box.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
110 words
A device for sampling gases from a furnace as set forth in claim 1 consisting of the provision of a lance sealing device consisting of a housing through which said lance is extended, formed gland packings and oilless metals fitted over said lance in said housing and axially spaced apart from each other so as to define a space surrounded by the inner surface of said housing, the outer surface of said lance and the axially spaced apart formed gland packings, and an amorphous heat-resisting material supply system for forcing amorphous heat-resisting material into said space and maintaining a predetermined pressure of the amorphous heat-resisting material charged into said space.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
98 words
A device for sampling gases from a furnace as set forth in claim 1 consisting of the provision of an expansion coupling wherein at least a pair of axially spaced flanges with a bellows interposed therebetween are interconnected by a plurality of connecting rods equiangularly spaced apart from each other, each end of said connecting rods being terminated into an externally threaded screw portion treadaly engaged with a male having a spherical or partly spherical surface which is slidably fitted into a mating spherical or partly spherical seat formed in a female connecting member attached to the flange.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
103 words
A device for sampling gases from a furnace as set forth in claim 2 consisting of the provision of an expansion coupling wherein at least a pair of axially spaced flanges with a bellows interposed therebetween are interconnected with each other by a plurality of connecting rods equiangularly spaced apart from each other, each end of said connecting rods being terminated into an externally threaded acrew portion threadaly engaged with a male member having a spherical or partly spherical surface which is slidably fitted into a mating spherical or partly spherical seat formed in a female connecting member attached to a the flange.
