page_text: contained in the wool, so that they may be separated easily in this crushed state
simply by shaking the material about.
The rakes D, D¹, D' are set in motion by belts and pullies as shown.
The way made by the heated air is already known from the foregoing
description.
The fresh air entering at the bottom into the chamber C' passes from this
through the channel P to the bottom of the campartement containing the pipes F¹
so that it must go along all these pipes to be thoroughly reheated and in a similar
passage it is led from C¹ into the chamber C along the pipes F.
b. DESIGN WITH TRANSPORTING BANDS.
This design is equal to the other in principle. The drying air passes from
chamber to chamber, entering cold at the bottom, and being heated more and more
from chamber to chamber, according to the degree of humidity contained in the
material, meeting in the hottest state the most humid material, so that this cannot
be spoiled by the high temperature and it leaves the apparatus saturated with vapor
in the same way as described before.
The material to be treated is fed in at a by means of an elevator b carrying it on
to the uppermost carrier band c, this carries it on to the second band d which takes it
back and throws it on to the third band e.
This band reaches into the middle chamber and transports the material on to the
upper band of the same and from this it is thrown down on to the band g taking
it back again to bring it down to the following band and this again carries it on
to the table or band from which it is fed into the rollers k. When falling from
band to band the material is turned up side down and the same effect is attained as
with the rakes.
The arrangement of the steam pipes and the way of the drying air is the same as
with the first design.
Below the table i there are the pipes m heating the air separately and in the
following compartment t I arrange the pipes a heating the air entering at o by
making it to pass along the diaphragm p and then to go along the pipes r and to go
then through the passages along and through the bands h, g and ƒ and the material
thereon. After this it goes on through the channel t into the next compartment
meeting the steam pipe and being reheated in order to pass then along and
through the bands e, d, c and through the material upon them and finally it exits
through the pipe r¹. The bands are by preference made of wire cloth.
Instead of the rakes and the carrying bands shown and described, a sort of
shakers as used sometimes with thrashing machines (Ransomes & Sims Patent)
may be used for turning about and carrying the wool from chamber to chamber.
The bands are set in motion by belts and pullies w and by gearing y, z as
shown.

I, HEINRICH SCHIRP of Barmen, Rhenish Prussia Germany Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is 5
o be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to drying stoves or dessicators especially for shoddy or

vapor
The material to be treated is fed in at a by means of an elevator b carrying it
on to the uppermost carrier band c; this carries it on to the second band d which
takes it back and throws it on to the third band e.
This band reaches into the middle chamber and transports the material on to the
upper band of the same and from this it is thrown down on to the band.g taking
it back again to bring it down to the following band h, and this again carries it
on to the table or band i, from which it is fed into the rollers k. When falling
from band to band the material is turned up side down and the same effect is
attained as with the rakes.
The arrangement of the steam pipes and the way of the drying air is the same
as with the first design. Below the table i there are the pipes m, heating the air
separately, and in the following compartment I arrange the pipes n heating the
air entering at o by making it to pass along the diaphragm p and then to go along
the pipes and to go then through the passages along and through the bands, y
and fand the material thereon. After this it goes on through the channel t into
the next compartment meeting the steam pipes u and being reheated in order to
pass then along and through the bands e, d, and through the material upon them
and finally it exits through the pipe v. The bands are by preference made of wire
cloth.
T
Instead of the rakes and the carrying bands shown and described, a sort of
shakers as used sometimes with thrashing machines (Ransomes & Sims Patent)
may be used for turning about and carrying the wool from chamber to chamber.
The bands are set in motion by belts and pullies w and by gearing y, z as
shown.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1.) An apparatus for drying mungo and the like and for facilitating the removal
of vegetable materials contained therein, in which the material to be treated is
carried in succession through various compartments, in which it is exposed to a
stream of heated air passing through the compartments in opposite direction to
the course of the material, the last, or lowest compartment delivering the said
material to a drying table, from which it is in a totally dry state carried into the
rollers of a crushing mill in order to facilitate the removal of vegetable material
contained in the material.
2.) In an apparatus for drying mungo and the like the compartments C, C³, C
having perforated bottoms E, E, E², doors I, I'. and H, H' respectively
and being provided with the rakes D, D', D' respectively, the drying table N and
the heating pipes F, F1, F2 in combination with a crushing mill O.
3.) In an apparatus for drying mungo and the like the endless bands, c, d, e in
the upper compartment carrying the material to be treated in a zigzag course to
the similar bands f, g, h in the next following compartment and the table i, the
heating pipes and n, r and u respectively, below each compartment in
combination with the crushing mill k, the whole as set forth and for the purpose
specified.
