7 Claims. (or. 34-122) This invention relates to drying hoods and more particularly to enclosures wherein drying is efiected of webs of freshly inked paper or thelike;
The general object of the invention is to provide an improved hood arrangement which may readily be opened at different points for inspection and adjustment of equipment therein and of a web being routed. therethrough.
A. feature of the invention resides in the provision of a novel panel arrangement, said arrangement including a series of cooperating and slidable members serving a series of adjacent sections of a hood.
Another feature of the invention resides in the provision of a novel arrangement of nozzles positioned about a drying drum, said nozzles being served by a supply header integral with the hood.
Another feature resides in the provision of ad-,
iustable nozzles having one end thereof fitted in combination with a supply header arfii adapted to be rotated as desired without interfering with the admission of air from the header to the nozzles.
Another feature of the invention resides in the provision of novel means for adjustingthe volume of air discharged and the direction of air discharged from a series of nozzles positioned about a drying drum so that speedy dryingof a web passing about the drum maybe accomplished.
Another feature of the invention is the provision of a series of nozzles running substantially the full width of the hood enclosure, the nozzles being, in effect, totally enclosed, with the result that escape of fumes from the hood to the atmosphere surrounding the hood is effectively prevented.
Other advantages, making for economy and efficiency in the operation of a, drying hood, will be apparent from the following description of one form of applicants invention to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. l is a diagrammatic view, in section on the lines l-l of Fig. 3, of a hood positioned about a drying drum, the illustration being substantially limited to the features "covering applicant's slide panel and nozzle arrangements;
Fig, 2 is a detail on the lines 2--Z of Fig. 1
showing the manner of fitting the sliding panels within the hood frame;
Fig. 3 is a plan view showing one section of the hood in combination with the air supply and return connections; I
Fig. 4 is a view, in elevation, of a nozzle positioned in combination with the supply header,
' and Fig. 5 is a detail of one of the nozzles.
Considering the drawings, similar designations referring to similar parts, numeral 5 designates a steam drum about which web l is passed. The web, in a typical application, is freshly inked, and the problem is to accomplish quick drying of the wet surface. Nozzles 8 are arranged about the drum and hood 9 serves as an enclosure for all said apparatus positioned therewithin.
With the .hood positioned about the drum, the
problem of adjusting nozzles 8 and the need for facilitating adjustment of the web and movement thereof by hand about the drum, as is often necessary, presented great dimculties. Applicant has produced simple yet effective solutions of these problems.
The hood is made of a series of frame sections, which may be of any required number constituting an enclosing frame. In the illustration of Fig. -l five sections areshown, IO, M, l2, l3 and M. A series of T irons I5 are bolted to clips it which in turn are welded to end, sheet H and inner sheet B8 of supply header l9. Slides 20 are tack-welded to T irons l5, as illustrated in Fig. 2, and sliding. panels M are fitted and held within the slides.
As shown in Fig. 3 two sliding panels serve each section. The sliding panels are in the form of sheets, one of which extends a little more than half way across the section whilethe other sheet of the pair serves the balance of the section and overlaps the first sheet. Thus, access to the interior of the hood is readily had by moving one of the panels whereupon the particular section served by said panel would be open. Adjustments could then be made to the nozzles, as desired, and, as is apparent, a web may easily be led through the hood. If it is desired to serve the other side, the other panel can readily be moved over.
For practical purposes, top sheet 22 may be place permanently in position and bolted to upper Ts 23. The L stifieners 24 are welded to the T's, as shown, to impart rigidity. , End clips 25 and 26 may suitably be attached to sheets ll and it to serve the panels of the end sections and to mount the confining elements as shown.
The supply header I9 abuts one side of the hood as shown in Fig. 3 and its contour is illustrated by lines 21 on Fig. 1.
The nozzles 8 run the full width of the hood blowing completely across the web. As shown in Fig. 4, the nozzle at the end Joining supply header i9 is fashioned with a lip Joint arrangement to which engages sheet ll asshown in Fig. 4." At the opposite end, each nozzle is held by bolt and nut arrangement ll to end sheet 81. the center line of the nozzle and hence the nozzle may readily be rotated, the bolt serving as an axis and the lip joint 30 serving as a guide. Although the nozzle is movable the joint at point 38! is tight. With the nozzle adjusted in desired position with the discharge slot 82 delivering air directly upon the web,- the bolt and nut arrangement 8i may be tightened to retain the slot in the required position.
The nozzle discharge slot has a varying opening which diminishes as a it recedes from the header. As shown in Figs. 4 andj the opening at the header is widest and in practice this is preferably about This tapers preferably to about at the opposite end. The discharge end at of the slot is uniform throughout the width of the nozzle and is preferably about in dimension when the slot varies from to it" as aforesaid. The discharge end is preferably equipped with a break edge to prevent wiredrawing action and a stove bolt and nut arrangement 3 is provided to prevent vibration and to maintain an un- 'y n opening.
Since many changes in construction and arrangement may be made in the embodiment herein shown and described without in any wa departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that the foregoing description is to be considered as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. i
