Abstract: To decrease a loss of coke due to burning and to prolong the service life of an apparatus for receiving incandescent coke and conveying the same to a quenching tower, between a wall structure (1) and lining plates (2) there is disposed a spacing member in the form of corrugated sheets (12), and the lining plates (2) are mounted with the provision for linear expansion under the action of heat from incandescent coke and connected to the wall structure (1) by means of cover pieces (13) overlapping temperature gaps, bolts (14) and nuts (15). Bottom gates (7) of a hopper (5) are provided with sealing members (18) having a surface (A) and (B) contacting the round surface of a girdle (6) tangentially. Specific embodiments of spacing members, sealing members and locking means are described.

Abstract: In a car for receiving incandescent coke and transporting it from a coking chamber to a quenching site a wall structure (3) surrounded by a girder (8) at the lower end portion thereof and removably mounted on a bunker (6) which in turn is surrounded by a girder (12) at the upper portion thereof so that the girder (8) is unrestricted on the girder (12) for linear expansion under the action of heat from the incandescent coke. Examples of the girders (8) and (12) are furnished.
