Abstract

A grating for an incinerator of combustible waste comprising a plurality of parallel juxtaposed bars disposed transversely in the incinerator and extending lengthwise thereof to provide a support surface on which waste is advanced in the course of its combustion. The bars are arranged in two sets alternating with one another, the bars of one set being fixed and the bars of the second set being reciprocally movable. The bars of the one set are secured at gradually lowered positions in the incinerator to provide a downward inclination of about 15.degree. with the horizontal in the lengthwise direction of advancement of the waste. The bars of both sets are inclined with the horizontal at an angle of about 30.degree. in a direction opposite the downward inclination in the lengthwise direction. The bars of the second set are reciprocally movable in a direction parallel to their inclination and neighboring movable bars are connected by a linkage for movement in opposite direction, whereas neighboring coupled pairs of movable bars are driven conjointly.
