I ARTHUR JONES GOODFELLOW of Ware, Hertford, Kiln Wire Floor Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for AN IMPROVEMENT
IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECTIONAL FLOORS FOR MALTING HOUSES AND FOR
DRYING SEED AND GRAIN, to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct woven wire tiles for malt houses and
seed drying floors in metal frames either with cast or wrought frames.
For the purpose of my invention I weave wire with the usual meshes, but in
sections of square or of other shape and in moulding casting rivetting or otherwise
securing the edges of the wire in or to the solid metal frame, this having inter-
vening stay or tie rods on which the belly portion of the woven wire rests.
"
I prefer to make the woven wire "tiles of square shape with plain edges or
ends to rest upon the ordinary rods side by side and end to end.
In some cases two three or other number of wire sections can be cast, rivetted,
or moulded into the same frame according to size or dimension of the tiles required.

facturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for AN IMPROVEMENT
IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECTIONAL FLOORS FOR MALTING HOUSES AND FOR
DRYING SEED AND GRAIN," and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The object of this invention is to construct. wovon wire tiles for malt houses and
seed drying floors in metal frames cast or wrought.
For the purpose of my invention I weave wire with the usual meshes but in
sections of square or of other shape and I mould, cast, rivet or otherwise secure the
edges of the wire in or to the solid metal frame, this having intervening stay or tie
rods on which the belly portion of the woven wire rests.
I prefer to make the woven wire tiles of square shape with plain edges or ends
to rest upon the ordinary rods side by side and end to end.
In some cases two, three or other number of wire sections can be cast rivetted or
moulded into the same frame according to size or dimension of the tiles required.
My invention is clearly represented at the annexed sheet of drawings in which
at Figure 1 I show sufficient of a tile having the usual meshed woven wire A
square with the edges embedded in a cast iron frame B and with internal stay or
tie rods C of wrought metal fixed in position by the bulges or protuberances D
formed of the cast metal which bind the whole together and form the surfaces on
which the woven wire A rests to prevent its buckling.
Figure 2 is a section of this tile and Figure 3 shows the position which four of
such tiles arranged side by side and end to end occupy on the ordinary rods E to
form the floor of a malting house or seed drying room.
Figure 4 shows two of such square meshed surfaces having the edges secured in
the same casting.
As before stated these tiles may be of other shape than square and the fruines
may be of wrought metal with wires of shape to correspond the edges being
secured by rivetting or otherwise to form a tile complete as an article of which a
number of them may form the said floor.
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 construction of wire tiles for malt, and other seed drying floors in the
manner set forth and substantially as shown in the annexed drawings.
