Improvements in Apparatus for Drying Towels and other Articles.
I, ALEXANDER MORRISON, of 13, Drumsheugh Place, Edinburgh, Sanitary and
Heating Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for drving towels in
houses or other places and consists of a box or casing of sheet metal of any
suitable shape in cross section, having a coil of metal tubing enclosed therein
which may be heated either by hot water or steam. The said box or casing
may have an intact surface or may be provided with perforations which may
be closed by a slide or shutter arranged inside the casing Any suitable valve
may be employed for controlling the supply of hot water or steam, and the
box which may be of any size shape or design may be supported by brackets
from a wall or be mounted on any suitable stand.
But in order that my said invention may be more readily understood and
easily carried into effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of
drawings in which
Fig. 1 is an elevation, partly in section and

page_text: Fig. 2 a cross section of the drying apparatus with its surface intact.
Referring to the said drawing A is the box or casing containing the coil
of tubing B. The water or steam for heating same preferably enters the coil
through the supporting bracket C which is provided with a valve D; whilst
the water or steam is led from the coil through the supporting bracket C¹.
E is a tap by which any air accumulating in the coil can be drawn off.
The heating medium may be derived from any convenient source, such as
from a branch from any usual hot water or steam pipe service
The apparatus may be employed for warming towels and also for drying or
warming other small articles, if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is: —
The apparatus for drying or warming towels and other articles in houses
and other places, constructed arranged and heated substantially in the manner
as hereinbefore described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
