Patent number: 5762664Abstract: A mobile vessel which reduces the transmission of noxious fumes into the surrounding atmosphere emanating from material contained in a material chamber in the vessel, such as bituminous roofing material. An air plenum extends along the vessel beneath a filtration unit and receives noxious fumes from the material chamber and from an outside source through ducts. Ambient air is mixed with the fumes for cooling the fumes upstream from the filtration unit. A heater and stirrer are located within the material chamber for uniformly heating the material. A power operated ram and heated breaker bars move and break a solidified key of the material for subsequent discharge into the material chamber. A blower creates a negative pressure in the air plenum and filtration unit for moving the fumes and ambient cooling air therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1996Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: National Tool and Equipment, Inc.Inventors: Anthony R. Vross, Jeffrey J. Sipos, James J. Simon, Jr.
