Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for use as a grate clip on a traveling stoker grate assembly in a furnace or incinerator. The grate clip apparatus includes a sloping profile along a significant portion of its underside so as to prevent the build-up of ash, fuel and metallic deposits on the grate clip as it traverses a return loop.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a two piece grate clip with first and second grate pieces releasably secured to one another and loosely mounted on a grate bar support. The first piece and the second piece have corresponding transverse notches which form a T-shaped transverse notch when the clip is assembled. The T-shaped transverse notch allows the grate clip to be mounted onto a grate bar support. A fastener, while releasably securing the two pieces together, allows the two pieces to be extended apart and easily mounted on and removed from the grate bar support. The grate clips, when mounted and arranged side by side in rows upon each grate support bar, comprise a traveling grate stoker having a uniform, level grate surface.
