ABSTRACT:
A coke quenching car is disclosed wherein the hopper is pivotally mounted to a superstructure continuation of the car frame, at points on both ends of the hopper adjacent to its top side which faces the coke side of a coke oven. A means for pivoting the top of the hopper upwards and towards the coke side of the coke oven is included. A discharge gate is attached to the bottom side of the hopper running the length of the hopper and hinged to the lower edge of the hopper side which faces the coke side of the coke oven. As the car is spotted at the coke wharf, the means for lifting pivots the hopper upward, aligning the discharge gate with the coke wharf; the gate is then swung downward to form a chute to the coke wharf. The contents of the hopper descend the inclined plane thus emptying the coke quench car.
