The tea leaves A are provided on the side of the board 2a from the board 2a, and are transported onto the sliding bowl 8 by the reciprocating bowl 6 that reciprocates in the groove 5 in the front-rear direction. It will be returned again to the board 2a by the reed 10 from the reed 8. At this time, the sliding reed 8 that reciprocates in the left-right direction on the reed 7 is adjusted in timing so that the reciprocating reed 6 is located on the side where the tea leaves A are swept out of the groove 5.
[0003]
As described above, the tea leaves A that have fallen into the groove 5 from the grid 2a are configured to be returned to the grid 2a again by the rotary basket 10, but the following problems are caused by the structure. There was a point.
First, it is unavoidable that the tea leaves A spill from the sliding bowl 8 onto the bowl 7, and the spilled tea leaves A are swept back again toward the groove 5 by the rotating bowl 10, but a part of them is removed. 7 may be attached to the corners of both side edges of the rod 7 relatively strongly due to remaining on the rod 7 and being pressed by the sliding rod 8. The tea leaves A that have been stuck once are overdried by the heat of the kettle 2 and turn brown, and then peel off and mix with the other tea leaves A, which is the quality of the product. Will be reduced.
Further, when the tea leaves A remain on the basket 7, the sliding basket 8 rides on the tea leaves A, causing the sliding basket 8 to be damaged and the rotating basket 10 to be bitten.

Or, the bristle 13 'is bitten into the link for swinging the pressure platen 3a' to slow down the movement of the apparatus, or the bristle 13 'is cut and mixed into the tea leaves A. There was a case.
Further, the load applied to the flock group G ′ is also distributed in the longitudinal direction in accordance with the distribution state of the tea leaves A in the longitudinal direction on the sliding rod 8 ′, and as shown in FIG. ′ It may cause partial fatigue at specific points in the longitudinal direction.
Furthermore, when the tea leaves A located on the sliding ridges 8 'are rich in moisture, the load applied to the flock group G' also increases, and as shown in FIG. The stress concentrates on the portion where the brush bristles 13 'are pinched by 14', which may cause local fatigue and cutting at this point.
