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.

Abstract: An inclined track adjacent a dry coke cooler includes a counterweighted and pivoted hot coke container hoist that coacts with a hot coke container to raise it to a level above the coke cooler and then to lower it onto the open top of the coke cooler. After the hot coke has been discharged into the coke cooler, the hot coke container is returned to the car on which it travels alongside a coke oven battery to receive coke pushed from an oven chamber.
