Abstract
A method and an apparatus are described for preventing the unintentional introduction of coal from a supply into a coke oven which already contains a charge of coal or coke. An obstruction sensor is lowered through a charging hole in the ceiling of the oven; if it encounters an obstruction, such as a charge of coal or coke in the oven, it triggers a signal which blocks any discharge of coal through the charging hole into the oven.
