adjacent the door, and having radiant panel heaters at the inside of the side and top walls thereof, with track means on the door and on the bottom wall of the chamber yto facilitate loading articles into the chamber for drying by said heaters.
Another object of this invention is to providefin a drier of the character described, separate signal means to indicate which of the individual heaters are operating and also an on and off switch and signal means to indicate when said switch has been actuated.
Yet a further object of this invention is to provide in a drier of the character described, an adjustable thermostatic safety switch to de-energize the heaters, automatically When the temperature in the chamber reaches a predetermined point.
Still another object of this invention is to provide in a machine of the character described, a thermal switch for each of the panels, which is normally open and which closes when its associated panel heats up, and electric signals controlled by said switches whereby to indicate, individually, which of the panels are operating and in heated condition.
l A still further object of this invention is to provide a drier [of the character described in which said chamber has openings a-t the bottom for passage of thermocouplers from the panels Ito the thermal switches 4and the'safety 'thermostatic switch and also for passage of air, and said chamber having heat insulation material on its top wall, and also openings to permit circulation of air through v said chamber.
Still another object of this invention is to provide in end of said space being covered by a perforated cover plate, the side walls `of lthe cabinet being spaced from the side walls of the chamber, and said cabinet being open at the rear, and the insulated top of the chamber constituting the upper end of the drier.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a drier of the character described in which the cabinet is mounted on vertically adjustable legs `and said cabinet has space below said chamber to house the electric controls for the drier, `and said cabinet having a door at its front side, below the downwardly swinging door to give access to the electric control, and said cabinet being furthermore open at its lower end to enhance the circulation of air to and through the drying apparatus.
The radiant heaters employed in the Vpresent drier Vare-preferably of the type in which a glass panel has an electro-conductive lm that serves as a resistance element and heats the glass panel. Such heaters are manufactured by Corning Glass Works of Corning, New York, and are called by them Pyrex Panel Heaters. fIn these heaters the radiant energy source is a tempered boro- JZJB? Patented Aug. 27, 1963 silicate glass panel. IOne surface of the glass has an electro-conductive lm that serves :as a resistance element and heats the glass. When an electric current is applied to the lm, the entire glass panel heats and emits long wave radiation. The glass is a highly elfective emitter. The conducting lm is a very poor emitter, so it serves as a reflector .to direct most of the energy down to the Work area. The radiation that leaves the film surfaces is directed back by an aluminized deflector forming part of the heater. The result is that a great part of the radiant energy is directed onto the work area.
Practically all the energy emitted by the panel is of the long wave variety that is absorbed by practically all materials.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a strong, rugged, durable and space saving drier of the character described which shall be relatively inexpensive to manufacture and maintain, which shall dry with a uniform heat, and which shall yet be practical and eicient to a high degree in use.

The box of said switch 105 is connected toa junction box 208, which is connected by conduit 209 to fuse box 101.
The operation of the electrical equipment will now be described. When the On and Oft switch 110il is closed, a single phase circuit is. completed through the electromagnetic starting coil 125 and through the northe main line switch and Amally closed adjustable thermostatic switch 103. This circuit is from one output terminal 123b of the main line switch and -fuse box '1 over a conductor 151 to one terminal 150 of the On and Ott switch 110; thev other iside of this. circuit is `from the other terminal 129 of the On and Ofi switch over a conductor 128 to one terminal 10Go of the thermostatic switch 103, from the other terminal 103b over a conductor 127 to one terrninal b of the electro-magnetic coil 125 in the starting box 102, irom the other terminal 12ga of this coil over a conductor 126 to the neutral conductor N of the power supply. Energization of the electromagnetic coil 125 causes the movable contactor (not shown) in the starting box 102 to bridge the respective pairs of inlet yand outlet contacts L1 and T1,L2 and T2, and L3 and T3. This completes the circuits for the right, left and top panel heaters 81.
The circuit for the signal light 111 is also completed. This circuit is on one side from the terminal 129 of the On `and O11 switch 110 overa conductor 130 to one terminal of this signal light; the other side off this circuit is `fro-1n the other terminal 132 of the signal light over the common return conductor 133 to the terminal 125:2
of the electromagnetic starting coil 125 and over the conduct-or 126 to the neutral conductor N of the electrical power supply.
The circuit-for the left panel heater 81 is `from the power conductor W1, to input termi-nal 121a of the main line switch and fuse box 101, froml the outlet terminal 121b of the latter over the conductor 118 to the input contact L1 of the starting box 102, and from the outlet contact T1 of the latter over the conductor 166 to the terminal 160 of the heater; the other side of this circuit is from the terminal 161 of the heater over the conductor 167 to the outlet contact T2 of the starting box, Itfrorn the inlet contact L2 of the latter over the conductor 119 to the outlet terminal 122b of the main line yswitch and fuse box 101, and from the inlet terminal of the latter tothe power conductor W2.
Similarly, the circuit for the right panel heater 81 is -tlirom the power conductorWZ to the input terminal 122:1
of the main line switch and fuse box 101, from the outlet terminal 12217 of the latter over the conductor 119 to the input contact L2 of the starting box, and from the outlet contact T2 of the latter over the conductor 170* to the terminal 164 of the heater; and other side of this circuit is .ffrom the terminal 165 of the heater over the conductor 171 to the outlet contact T3 of the starting outlet contact T3 of the ylatter over the conductor 168 to the terminal 163 or the heater; the other side of this circuit is from the terminal 162 of the heater over the conductor 169 to the outlet contact T1 of the starting box, from the inletcont-act L1 of the latter over the conductor 118 to the outlet terminal 121b of the main line switch and fuse box 101 and yfrom the inlet terminal 12111 of the latter to the power conductor W1.
When any one of the panel heaters S1 reaches a lpredetermined temperature, the corresponding thermo- couple 115, 116, will energize the respective normal-ly open thermostatic switch 104, 105 or 106 to close the circuit for the respective signal light 112, 113 or 114. Closure of the thermostatic switch 104 will complete the circuit for the signal light 112. This circuit is on one side from the terminal 129 of the On and Ott switch 110 over the conductor 134 to one terminal 10451 of the thermostatic switch 10ft and from the other terminal of the lswitch over a conductor 135 to one terminal 136 of the signal light; the other side of this circuit is from the other terminal 137 of the signal rlight over a conductor 133 to the cornrn'on return conductor 133.
