Refractory shapes and jamb structure of coke oven battery heating wall

Abstract

Novel shapes of refractory jamb bricks are disclosed which are readily removable and replaceable without tearing down and rebuilding the novel jamb structure of a heating wall of a coke oven battery.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. In a coke oven battery having heating walls with vertical flues therein, a jamb structure at the ends of each heating wall comprised of horizontal courses of refractory brick shapes comprising: a. a plurality of vertically arranged adjacent interdigitating refractory jamb shapes with each shape having top and bottom parallel planar sloping surfaces coacting with adjacent jamb and intermediary end wall refractory shapes.   
     
     
       2. The invention of claim 1 wherein: a. bottom jamb brick shapes of said heating wall have flat planar bottoms that rest upon a floor of said coke oven battery.   
     
     
       3. The invention of claim 2 wherein: a. topmost jamb brick shapes of said heating wall have a flat planar top that is coplanar with a top surface of said heating walls.   
     
     
       4. In a coke oven battery having heating walls with vertical flues therein, a jamb structure at the ends of each heating wall comprised of horizontal courses of refractory brick shapes comprising: a. interdigitating end jamb brick shapes of said wall structure so constructed and arranged that said jamb bricks tend to lean toward the heating flue of which they are wall elements.   
     
     
       5. In a coke oven battery having heating walls with vertical flues therein, a jamb structure at the ends of each heating wall comprised of horizontal courses of refractory brick shapes comprising: a. two spaced apart end jamb shapes with the outer surface of each such shape comprising a portion of such heating wall surface and with each such jamb shape having top and bottom planar parallel sloping surfaces, with   b. said bottom sloping surface of each jamb brick being coplanar with an upwardly sloping bottom surface portion of an intermediary refractory brick shape disposed adjacent to each one of the two spaced apart end jamb shapes.   
     
     
       6. The invention of claim 5 wherein: a. each intermediary refractory brick shape has a top surface portion that is parallel to the top surface of the adjacent end jamb shape and that is cooperative with a planar surface that is parallel to the top and bottom parallel sloping surfaces of said end jamb shape.   
     
     
       7. The invention of claim 6 including: a. a third refractory brick shape disposed between the two intermediary refractory shapes adjacent said pair of end jamb shapes, and having tongue and groove features that coact with groove and tongue features of said two intermediary refractory shapes.   
     
     
       8. A coke oven jamb structure refractory brick shape as shown in FIG. 5. 
     
     
       9. A coke oven jamb structure refractory brick shape as shown in FIG. 6.
