17 Claims. (Cl.110--101) This invention relates generally to mechanical During operation of the skidder, that is, stoking means for delivering fuel from a source when the timber within reach of the drag lines of supply to the firing opening of a boiler furnace, is being dragged in, the boiler leans to the right there scattering the fuel in aerial paths over the or left depending upon whether the area to the fire, and more particularly, to the fuel distributing right or left of the skidder is being logged. 5 means of stokers ofthe type described. Thus, when for example, the area to the right The principal object of the invention is to proof the skidder is being logged, and this may vide an-improved form of distributor plate and require a week or two, theboiler leans to the means for adjusting the same, and more specifiright, and in mechanical firing of the boiler, the cally, a distributor plate, mounted at the mouth stoker discharge box, which isattached to the 10 of a fuel discharge box, which is rotatable about boiler, and the distributor plate will lean to the the longitudinal axis of the plate itself and which right. As a result, more of the coal is delivered is provided with simple, conveniently accessible, onto the distributor plate from the right side of and efficient means for adjusting. and securing the discharge box and it follows that more of the distributor plate in angular relation with the the coal is distributed over the right side of the 5 discharge box. boiler firebox. In a similar manner more coal With the above and other objects in view, the is delivered to the left side of the boiler firebox invention consists of the novel details of 0011- when the area to the left of the skidder is struction and operation, and the combination and being logged.

of the plate. Fitted in the indentation 52 of the plate 29 and outside the boiler ll is the vertically disposed nozzle or distributor head 22 to which pressure fiuid such as steam is supplied by a desirable number of supply pipes 23. The distributor head is provided with openings or jets 24 in a horizontal row for emitting a blast of fluid across the distributor plate 2 l. The riser conduit is is provided with a removable cover section 25 which may be hinged at its upper end and held in closed position by a latch 25 whereby access may be had to the interior of the riser conduit.
The distributor head 22 is securely attached to the distributor plate ill by the bolts 2?, whereby the plate and distributor head are always maintained in the same relative position with respect to each other. Formed with the rear'wall of the distributor head 22 and extending rearwardly thereof in alignment with the longitudinal center line of the distributor plate is a pivot pin or circular lug which is received in the circular recess 29 in the forward face 2:? of the lower wall of the riser conduit discharge box or mouth portion It. The distributor plate and distributor head are secured to the riser conduit discharge box or mouth portion by the bolts 59 passing through the vertically elongated arcuately shaped slots 3i.
When for example, the boiler ii, to which is attached the riser conduit l d, is leaning to the right, the obvious result is that more coal will be delivered to the right side of the distributor plate and consequently to the right side of the boiler However, in the present construction, under such circumstances, the bolts 3% are loosened and the distributor plate is rotated counterclockwise about its longitudinal center line, which is determined by the axis of the pivot pin 28, to assume a horizontal position or even tilted to the left. Since the slots 3i are elongated and slight ly arcuate in shape, the distributor plate may be turned at an angle with respect to the riser conduit, without removing the bolts 35, and when the plate is placed in the desired position, the bolts are tightened, again securing the plate and distributor head to the riser conduit mouth portion. The resul u of this arrangement is that when the plate is tilted in the desired position, the right side of the distributor head 22 projects above the level of the floor of the discharge box or mouth portion l8 a certain amount, the other side of the plate being lowered a corresponding amount. Therefore, even though more coal is brought up on the right side of the discharge box or mouth portion, the distributor head 22 acts as a dam or obstruction and holds back the excess of coal, which now must overflow that side of the dis tributor head before it can fall onto the distributing plate. This then permits an even delivery of coal onto the plate, and consequently, an even distribution of coal over the boiler firebox. To insure a close fit between the lower wall of the discharge box mouth portion ili adjacent the recess 5d and the distributor plate sidewalls and still permit rotation of the plate, the sides of the plate adjoining its end wall 5% are provided with the curvate surfaces 53 and the sides of the recess 50 are correspondingly curved.
Particularly devised and arranged means are provided for rotating the plate from without the riser conduit mouth portion. This means in cludes a horizontal flange 32 extending laterally from a sidewall of the discharge box or mouth portion 58, provided with an opening 33. A nut 34 is received in the opening 533 and is provided with the flanges 35 and 36 engaging the marginal top and bottom edges of the flange 32 defining the opening 35. The nut 34 is preferably com posed of two interthreaded members 3? and $8 for assembly purposes. Sufficient clearance is permitted between the nut and the marginal edges of the flange 32 defining the opening 33, to permit the nut 3 5 to be loosely mounted thereon.
The not St has a threaded operung 39 therethrough for receiving a threaded stud 48, which is arranged to move up when the nut is turned in one direction and down when the nut 33 is turned in the opposite direction. Movement of the threaded stud is in turn communicated to the transversely extending stud ti which is threaded into the side of the distributor plate 2!. Thus by turning the nut thereby raising or lowering the threaded stem the distributor plate is rotated about its longitudinal center line.
