Granted: 1906-07-28
Abstract: 15,597. Donati, F. Z³ndel-. July 29. Drawings to Specification. Drying vegetable substances. - Food - stuffs of vegetable origin, especially cereals, are dried by passing over them, while heated, a current of fresh air. The process may be carried out in a baker's oven fitted with shelves which may be removed to stir the material. In the front and back walls opposite each shelf, small holes are made for entrance and exit of air. In ovens heated externally and having flues for the escape of combustion products, the flues are provided with valves so that the heat may be regulated throughout the drying. Special apparatus may be used in which the material is placed on shelves in vertical series, and is made to fall periodically from one shelf to the next by means of mechanism outside the chamber, and finally withdrawn from the lowest shelf. Pipes or flues for exit of air are arranged above each shelf, and the heating is regulated as before. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications Nos. 11,466 and 17,504, A.D. 1904.]

Each section of the band is registered in position by the indicating- pointer 6 on the frame b. The apparatus may be mounted in front of the lens, or it may be fixed in the camera, in which case provision is made for actuating the roller when the dark slide is removed. When used in the camera where no focussing-screen is used, a view-finder is used for indicating the position of the object photographed
