PATENT SAMUEL W. BREWSTERAND LYMAN SHER\VOOD, OF SOUTHEAST, NEW YORK; SAID SHERWOOD ASSIGNOR TO SARAH E. SHERWOOD, OF SAME PLACE.
BOOT-DRIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,987, dated March 2. 1886.
Application filed January 4, 1886. Serial No. 187,617. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
' Be it known that WB,'SAMUEL WV. BREWS- TER and LYMAN SHERWOOD, citizens of the United States, and residents of Southeast, in the county of Putnam and State of New York, have jointly invented certain new and'useful Improvements in Boot -Driers, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention has relation to means or apparatus specially designed for drying boots and other articles for foot-wear.
The object of -our invention is to produce a simple, cheap, compact, durable, and efficient device wherein boots or shoes, either of leather or india-rubber, may be quickly and thoroughly dried both inside and outside without danger of damaging the articles by excessive heat, in which device the heat may be regulated to the desired degree and the consumption of fuel eeonomized. To accomplish this our improvements involve certain and useful peculiarities of construction and relative arrangements or combinations of parts, all of which will be herein first fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure l is a sectional elevation of an apparatus constructed and arranged for operation in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation upon a plane passing through line a: m of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the apparatus, showing the hinged door opened for the insertion of the boots or shoes to be dried. Fig. 4. is a plan of a fragment showing the hinged door in closed position.
In all these figures like letters of reference wherever they occur indicate corresponding parts.
A is the main case or shell of the drier, which, with the hinged door, constitutes the receptacle for the boots or shoes to be dried. This is supported at a convenient height upon legs or standards, as B B, andis preferably made. of tin or sheet metal.
Within the shell A, and at a little distance from the lower margin thereof, are two plates, 0 and D, maintainedat a slight distance from each other, as by rivets a a, and supported within the shell by two straps, b b, preferably riveted to the shell, as at c 0. These two plates, O and D, are of smaller area than the horizontal section of the shell, and are held in place so as to leave free passage-way'all around them for heat to enter the upper part of the shell. The lower plate, D, against which the heat from the burners impinges, is preferably made of sheet-iron-such as Russia ironso that it will well withstand the effects of direct heat, and it is slightly concaved along the central line, as indicated in Fig. 2, whereby the distance between the two plates at this part is increased, thus insuring a more even distribution of heat to the upper plate, O, and avoiding overheating thereof. The upper plate, 0, may be made of lighter materialsuch as ordinary tin. The best effects are pro duced when the surfaces surrounding the boots or shoes are made of bright tin.
E is an oil-reservoir, having two ordinary lamp-burners, of which the chimneys F F extend up within the lower open mouth of the case or shell.
bottom plate, D, and under the straps b b. The upper part of the shell is recessed, as at G G, to receive the legs of the boots or upper parts of the shoes, and the hinged lid or door H is correspondingly recessed, as at G G, so that when the door is closed about the legs of the boots or tops of the shoes the portions of these articles within the shell or case will be effectually inclosed.
The heel of the boot or shoe should rest upon one of the straps b and the ball of the sole upon the other, so that the article will be slightly raised above the top plate, 0.
Heat from the burnersimpinges against the bottom plate, D, and heated air and products of combustion enter the upper part of the case, passing around the margins of the plates and through the space between the two plates, heating the interior of the shell and the articles therein thoroughly and uniformly.
By adjusting the flames of thelamp-burners the degree of heat and the time required for drying may be regulated or controlled as desired. When in use, the apparatus may be employed also for illuminating purposes, as will be readily understood.
By extending the chimneys slightly above the lower margin of the case or shell, ordinary These burners should be adv j usted under the concaved central part of the drafts of air will not interfere with the heating effects. The lid or door H is hinged to the shell, as at h h, and drops down so as to open the end of the case or shell sufficient for the ready and easy insertion or removal of the boots or shoes. The improved apparatus is specially well adapted for drying india-rubber boots, because of the accuracy with which the heat may be regulated so as not to burn them. In this class of articles the evaporation must take place from the interior, and being surrounded on all parts with uniform heat, the evaporated moisture passes freely out through the open tops of the boots, and all parts are thus thoroughly dried.
In the case of leather boots and shoes which become saturated throughout, evaporation takes place internally as Well as externally. The, moisture from the interior passes out through the open tops, and from the exterior gradually condenses and passes out of the shell through the openings around the double bottom plates.
' The improved apparatus, constructed and arranged substantially as above explained,will be found to admirably answer the purpose or object of the invention as previously'set forth, the heat being entirely utilized to best advantage for producing the drying effects, and the consumption offuel being therefore only such as necessary to accomplish the required work.
Having now fully described our invention, What we claim as new herein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In an apparatus for drying boots, the combination, with the shell or casing having the double bottom and the recessed upper portion, of the hinged lid or door correspondingly recessed, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The herein-described apparatus for drying boots, composed of the shell or casing having the hinged door. or lid, the two plates secured within the shell, the legs or standards,
and the oilreservoir with the burners and 5 chimneys, all arranged and combined for operation substantially as shown and described.
Signed at Brewster, in the county ofiPutnam and State of New York, thisv 2d day of January, A. D. 1886.
