Description: |
| Wilhelm & Bonner - patent attorneysThis invention relates to an apparatus for drying barrels or groups of staves set up in the form of barrels by means of truss-hoops. The object of our invention is to produce a simple apparatus into which the barrels or groups of staves to be dried are readily introduced and from which they are easily removed, and in which the operation of drying is carried on expeditiously and economically. Our invention consists of a drying apparatus or kiln provided with skids or rails on which the barrels are supported, and suitable doors arranged in the walls of the drying chamber opposite the ends of the skids for the introduction and removal of the barrels to and from the drying-chamber; suitable heating-pipes arranged in the lower part of the drying-chamber, and one or more openings formed in the upper part of the drying-chamber for the escape of the vapor; also, in the combination with the skids or rails upon which the barrels are supported, of a rod provided with one or more pawls whereby the barrels can be pushed forward over the skids when necessary; also, of the particular construction of said pawls, as will be hereinafter fully set forth. |
