TRUVIDIONAL DREUITUATION
An Improved Frame, Tray, or the like, specially applicable for
Drying Salt Fish or the like.
I, MARIE LOUISE HILL, of 53, Hainton Street, Grimsby, in the County of
Lincolnshire, Married Woman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide an improved frame, tray or the like for
drying salt fish or the like, whereby such fish can be dried much quicker and with
less trouble than is possible with existing drying frames.
My improved frame or tray consists of a framework of any suitable size and
shape, this framework is filled in with netting, lattice work or suitable metal or
materials having holes through it.
The frame or tray is flat and stands in a horizontal position in place of in a
vertical position as do existing frames, and is raised a suitable distance from the
ground by means of legs or supports on which it rests. Strengthening pieces may
be employed for keeping the frame rigid and cords or the like may be connected to
the netting or the like by means of which such netting can be drawn up tight and
is so prevented from sagging.
I may employ an awning connected to a bar or the like running over the frame,
for the purpose of shielding the fish which is being dried from the sun or rain if
necessary. The fish to be dried is laid on the netting or the like of the frame which
allows the current of air to get to both sides of such fish, which is by this means
quickly dried without it having to be frequently turned as is necessary with existing
drying frames.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a side view of my improved fish drying frame.
Fig. 2 is a plan view; and Fig. 3 is an end view of same with awning shown in
dotted lines.
My improved frame or tray consists of a framework A of any suitable size and
shape, this frame-work is filled in with netting, lattice work or other suitable metal
or materials having holes through it as shown at B.
The frame or tray is flat and stands in a horizontal position and is raised a suitable
distance from the ground by means of legs or supports C on which it rests, and
such frame or tray may be of any suitable length, width and height.
Strengthening pieces D may be employed for keeping the frame rigid, and cords
or the like E may be connected to the netting B or the like and the framework A
by means of which such netting can be drawn up tight and is so prevented from
sagging.
I may employ an awning F see Fig. 3 connected to or spread over a bar or the
like G running over the frame preferably from end to end, such awning being for
the purpose of shielding the fish which is being dried, from the sun or rain if
necessary.
It will be understood that instead of employing the framework A, the netting or
lattice work B may be attached to uprights at certain distances apart such as the
legs or supports C, without the frame A. The fish to be dried is laid on the netting
or the like of the frame, which allows the current of air to get to both sides of such
fish, which is by this means quickly dried without it having to be frequently turned
as is necessary with existing drying methods.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An improved tray or frame for drying salt fish or the like, consisting of a
framework of any suitable material or substance mounted upon legs or supports
and provided with netting or latticework for the fish or the liko to be placed
upon, and with or without lacings for tightening the netting, also with or
without awning; or in place of the framework, attaching the netting or the
like direct to uprights or supports, in the manner and for the purposes
substantially as shown and described.
Dated this Seventh day of November 1898.
