HERSEY, a cured to the two ends ringsD E, which are 10- citizen of the United States, and a resident of cated to rest -upon trucks or carriages G H in I \Vellesley, in the county of Norfolk and State order that the machine may turn freely when 5 of Massachusetts, have invented a new and power is applied to rotate it.

So far as I have described peratures or continuous contactwith highlythese parts are of the regular form and conz heated surfaces without inj ury to them. struction usually adopted in the manufacture The improvements herein set forth are of of these drying apparatus under Letters Patspecial value in the drying of sugar. salt, sand, ent of Charles H.

Referring to Fig. 5, it will be seen that the In the drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal buckets in the interior of the outside cylinelevation, partially in section, of a rotary dryder pick up the material that is being dried ing apparatus of the class to which I apply as the-machine rotates and shower it upon the my improvement.

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional tion of the drier produces the desired effect; view of a portion of the internal cylinder, but the material to which I have reference 45 showing the method of attachment of the can be dried much more quickly if held in 5 buckets to the cylinder.

I therefore construct buckets so although in thehandlingofsome material,like upon the internal cylinder, as described, so too that they will retard the material upon the cylinder, allowing it to collect upon the buckets c c c and gradually. slide underneath the buckets to the bottom of the main cylinder, and at the same time it will be thrown off on the opposite side as the cylinder rotates, the object being to retard the material upon the cylinder more or less, according to the number of buckets and the spaces between them.
I have found by actual practice that by this improvement I am able to operate the driers with greater speed than heretofore, eifecting a perfect drying.
The complete operation will be as follows: The material is fed through a chute I into the upper end of the cylinder. As the machine is rotated it gathers the material up by the buckets on the interior of the outside cylinder and showers it through the heated air to the central heater-cylinder, by which it has a retarding contact with the cylinder through the aid of the buckets mounted upon the outside of the cylinder. This operation is contin ued as the machine rotates, and on account of the inclined position of the cylinder the material gradually forwards in the machine and is emptied at the opposite end.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A steam drying apparatus composed of a slightly-inclined rotary cylinder provided with buckets or wings secured to its interior and an internal steam-heating cylinder provided with buckets or wings secured to its ex terior, having spaces between the buckets or Wings and the cylinder to which they are attached, and a steam supply and exhaust pipe and anti-friction trucks or carriages arranged to support said drier, substantially as and for the purpose set forth and described.
2. A cylinder for rotary steam-driers having a series of buckets or wings attached to its exterior and having spaces between the buckets or wings and the cylinder to which they are attached, substantially as and for the purpose set forth and described.
