UNITED STATES PATENT ANTHONY ITTNER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
BRICK-DRYING APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 533,814, dated February 5, 1895. I
Application filed February 9, 1893. Renewed July 12, 1894. s ial No. 517367. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ANTHONY ITTNER, of the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brick-Drying Apparatus, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The object of my invention is to produce improved devices for rapidly and thoroughly drying green brick in kilns.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a series of kilns, showing my device applied. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same. @Fig. 3 is a detail view of the breeching and slip-joint for operatively con necting the exhaust fan with the kiln.
Referring to the figures on the drawings, 1 indicates each of a series of kilns, located in line.
2 indicates atrack laid a suitable distance from the kilns in front of the same.
3 indicates a truckA. an exhaust fan located thereon, and 5 an engine preferably carried on the truck and adapted to drive a fan.
6 indicates a steam pipe extending the length of the series of kilns, and communicatingwith a source of steam supply, not illus trated.
7 indicates a pipe, preferably flexible, operatively connected with the engine at one end, and adapted to be coupled to the pipe, as reqnired.
In front of each of the kilns a valve-controlled coupling joint 8 is provided in the pipe to which the hose 7 maybe secured. Beyond each of the coupling joints I prefer to employ a valve 10 for preventing waste of steam. V
11 indicates a breeching adapted to be secured overkiln ports 12 communicating with the interior of the kilns. The breeching is provided with suitable means for operatively connecting it with the fan, as for example a slip-joint 13, vertically movable upon ways 14., and having a part 15 adapted to move in and out, and to make connections with the collar 16 of the fan.
In operation the kilns are filled, as for burning, with green brick instead of previously dried ones. The fan with its engine is rolled upon its truck opposite the kiln to be dried, and the hose 7 is connected with the joint 8 opposite that kiln. The breeching is then set in place and connected with the fan. The steam being admitted through the pipe 6 sets the engine 5 in motion and causes the fan to revolve. The vapor laden air in the interior of the kiln is rapidly exhausted, and in this manner the bricks are thoroughly and quickly dried, without checking or discoloration.
WVhat I claim is- I The combination with a series of kilns, steam-supply pipe and track, of a truck, a fan and engine carried thereon, a flexible hose connecting the engine with the supply-pipe, a collar upon the fan, a breeching adapted to be connected with the ports of the kiln, and a slip-joint adapted to be connected to the collar of the fan, substantially in the manner and for the purpose specified.
' In testimony of all which I have hereunto subscribed my name.
ANTHONY ITTNER. lVitnesses:
