This invention relates to drying apparatus for loose material such as wool, cotton, rags or the like, and more particularly to apparat-us or machinesrofthe kind comprising I one ormore conveyor floors or platforms, each consisting of a longitudinalseries of transverse shelves or trays arranged in two 7 sets, which are given a longitudinal reciprocating. motion relative to one another so that the'material progresses step by steprn feet, the same will now be, more fully 'de' 1 2'5 scribed with reference to and by the aid of the accompanying drawings; wherein: Y Figures 1 and 2 are respectively a longitus dinal section and a plan view illustrating a portion of the tray mechanism of a drying 3o apparatus or machine of the kind referred to.

chine frame 2 through the medium of set gscrews 3. Themovable tray 4 of each set is provided at each side with inclined extension I arms 5 which are secured to the sidebars 6 by set screws 7 which also serve to fastenor [hold in place doll-heads8 torsnpporting the extension arms 5 of the tray of the nextset,

Thus, theextension arms-5 are each provided with pegs 9 ator near the loweredgeof the tray 1, which pegs'rest' in theIV-shaped notches of the doll-heads 8 and thereby afford stable support to the'trays 1, the ar- "rangement being such that. the movable tray j 4 is held and maintained with a slight'clear-i ance, as shown, from the .fixedtray 1 in con junction with which it operates. 'The fixed support thetrays 1 by engaging recesses 11 in the sides thereof. The movable trays 4t are fitted with angle section ends 12, from which the extension arms 5 extend, and a one direction, as for example, 'in United V Referring to the, drawings, 1 are thefixed I inclined trays which are mounted on the ma-.
