Abstract
Abstract A coke oven charging hole that dissipates heat emanating from the oven so that the cover resists warping due to overheating. The concentration of large amounts of heat directly above the charging hole is also avoided. A lower concave housing member fits into the charging hole and is partially filled with insulation. A circular plate is fixed to this housing member so as to form an insulating air space between this plate and the insulation. One or more other plates are superimposed over this plate so as to form heat air spaces which are open to ambient air so that a laterally directed flow of air is established in these air spaces.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A coke oven charging hole cover comprising: (a) a lower concave housing member adapted to be received within the charging hole; (b) an insulation layer retained within said concave housing member; (c) a first circular plate superimposed over said concave housing member so that an insulating lower air space is formed between said first circular plate and the insulation layer; (d) a second plate superimposed over said first circular plate in parallel, spaced relation such that a first heat dissipating air space, said space being open to ambient air, is formed between said first and second plates; (e) a third plate superimposed over said second plate in parallel, spaced relation such that a second heat dissipating air space, said space being open to ambient air, is formed between said second and third plates; and (f) heat conducting means connecting the first circular plate with the second plate and the second plate with the third plate, such that heat is continuously removed from the first circular plate to the first and second heat dissipating air spaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
A coke oven charging hole cover comprising: (a) a lower concave housing member adapted to be received within the charging hole; (b) an insulation layer retained within said concave housing member; (c) a first circular plate superimposed over said concave housing member so that an insulating lower air space is formed between said first circular plate and the insulation layer; (d) a second plate superimposed over said first circular plate in parallel, spaced relation such that a first heat dissipating air space, said space being open to ambient air, is formed between said first and second plates; (e) a third plate superimposed over said second plate in parallel, spaced relation such that a second heat dissipating air space, said space being open to ambient air, is formed between said second and third plates; and (f) heat conducting means connecting the first circular plate with the second plate and the second plate with the third plate, such that heat is continuously removed from the first circular plate to the first and second heat dissipating air spaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The coke oven charging hole cover defined in claim 1, wherein at least one nut is fixed below said third plate and a bolt passes upwardly first through the lower concave housing member and the insulation layer and then through the first then second plates so as to engage the nut.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
The coke oven charging hole cover defined in claim 1 wherein the lower concave housing member is welded to the first circular plate and wherein at least one nut is fixed below said third plate and a bolt passes upwardly first through said first circular plate then through said second plate so as to engage the nut.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The coke oven charging hole cover defined in claim 2 or 3 wherein the nut is welded to the third plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The coke oven charging hole cover defined in claim 2 or 3 wherein four nuts are fixed to the third plate, each of said nuts being spaced from adjacent nuts by ninety degrees and being engaged by a bolt.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
The coke oven charging hole cover defined in claim 2 or 3 wherein the third plate has two adjacent hook receiving aperatures and wherein a cylindrical wall connecting the third and second plate surrounds an air space below said aperatures so as to form a hook receiving space.
