IMPROVEMENT IN FRUIT-DRIERS.
Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent N o. 136,670` dated March 1l, 1873.
7o all whom it may conce-ra.'
Be it known that I, JOHN L.l POST, of Ashley, county of Washington, and State 'of Illinois, have invented certainv new and useful lmprovem ents in Fruit and Vegetable Driers,
of which the following is a specification:
The naturcof my invention relates to a device for drying fruit, vegetables, fish, and similar articles; and consists in a number of sep- .arate and distinct chambers arranged around a central compartment, which is heated from below by means of steam-pipes, and in which a vertical fan is kept rotating so as to force the heated air through the several chambers, as will be more fully` set forth hereafter.
lu the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 rcpresents a longitudinal section of my improvenient. Fig. 2 -is a vertical section ofthe same.
represents a number of entirely distinct and separate chambers, arranged around a central compartment', b, and in which chambers as many different articles can 'be dried or cured without the liavor or 'smell of one being imparted to the others. AEach chamber is provided with a suitablenumber of shelves, c, and
two doors-one opening outward so that the any suitable source, and which heat the air for curing the different articles in the chambers a. As the air entersthe doors or openings z' in the compartment d, it is heated by the pipes e, and passes up into the central compartment b, where it is still further heated by the pipes running around the sides in one or more coils. Arranged in any suitable manner in the center of thisA compartment b is a vertical fan, j, which may be operated from any desired source so as to drive the heated air through the compartments a, and thus hasten the process of curing. By the rotation of this fan the air is equally distributed in all parts, and the drying evenly and rapidly carried on.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isf 1. A fan, or its equivalent, arranged in the central compartment so as to drive the air through the chambers, substantially as described. f
2. The combination ot' the chambers a, compartments b d, pipes e, and fan jwhen arranged as specied. I;
3. The chambers a, provided `with inner doors communicating with the'l compartment b, so that when the doors are opened the heated air will pass up through tlifwhple mass from the bottom, substantially as shown and described.
Iny testimony that l claim the foregoing as my invention, I hereunto aix my signature this 7th day of January, 1873.
