A locking device is for an oven door of an oven which extends horizontally and includes an interior defined by interior walls and a door opening which is surrounded by a door frame. The door frame includes an external sealing surface. The oven door includes a sealing unit having peripheral edge portions for overlying and making sealing contact with the sealing surface of the door frame. The locking device includes a support frame which generally surrounds the sealing unit to overlie the peripheral edge portions thereof. There are included devices for anchoring the support frame to the door frame with the peripheral edge portions disposed therebetween. Contact pressure elements are disposed about the support frame in alignment with the peripheral edge portions. Apparatus is included for causing the contact pressure elements to produce a sealing force on the peripheral edge portions to produce the sealing contact with the sealing surface of the door frame.

Locking device for an oven door

A metal shield is for an oven which has an interior, a door opening which is surrounded by a door frame, and a door for extending across the door opening. The door is for making sealing contact with the door frame. The metal shield includes a plurality of generally parallel elongated metal members which combine to form an array of elongated metal members substantially lying within a plane. The array of elongated metal members is disposed within the interior of the oven inwardly of the door frame and inwardly of the door when the door is in sealing contact with the door frame. The array of elongated metal members extends generally transversely to the interior of the oven with the plane being generally parallel to the door frame.

Oven door

This invention is directed to an extremely lightweight construction for coke oven doors with simultaneous optimal sealing, by assuring that the oven door comprises of one sealing unit and the closing forces act simultaneously on the seal, thereby avoiding heat loss between the two units as much as possible.

Coke oven doors for horizontal-chamber coke ovens

This invention is directed to an extremely lightweight construction for coke oven doors with simultaneous optimal sealing, by assuring that the oven door comprises one sealing unit and the closing forces act simultaneously on the seal, thereby avoiding heat loss between the two units as much as possible.

This invention is directed to an extremely lightweight construction for coke oven doors made to provide optimal sealing; the oven door comprises one sealing unit having a seal, and closing forces are applied to act uniformally on the seal, thereby minimizing heat loss between the sealing unit and the coke oven as much as possible. The oven door, on its outside surface, is also provided with a boxed duct structure which in use is vertical and has an open top; the boxed structure facilitates heat dissipation by the door outside surface, by convection air flow in the boxed structure.
