14,390. H³bner, A. June 21. Spark arresters and extinguishers.-A box d, placed externally on a locomotive, and preferably beneath the footplate, is provided with wire-gauze screens g to arrest the particles of glowing coal which, when the usual funnel is closed by a valve c, are conveyed to it with the smoke from the fire-box, by the tubes b. The bottoms of the chambers f so produced are inclined so as to present a greater cooling-surface to the air. Pipes k conveying cold water have outlets so placed that streams of water may strike on to the screens to cool and cleanse them ; the water, soot, &c. are allowed to escape by opening the flaps h. The smoke passes through the tubes m to a second funnel n.
