According to the invention, the leveler bar () has a rake blade () on its front end with a width that can be adjusted by an operating device () arranged in the leveler bar ().

Leveling device with an adjustable width

A smoke collecting hood traversable on the oven platform along a coke oven battery covers the space in which the pushed coke cake drops into a quenching car while parked in front of the oven chamber. A distributor is suspended from the roof of the hood. The distributor includes metal sheets receding from a central vertical edge facing the oven. The sheets widen outwardly toward the bottom. A linkage is mounted on the distributor at the side remote from the oven to extend through the outer wall of the hood. Outside the hood, a drive is coupled to the linkage to pivot the distributor member about a horizontal axis. The distributor is vertically positioned at the start of the pushing operation so that its vertical front edge cuts through the coke cake and the coke slides down the sides of the distributor into the front and rear parts of the quenching car. Near the end of the pushing operation, the distributor is pivoted rearwardly and the remainder of the coke cake falls into the middle part of the quenching car.
