DESICGATING APPARATUS.

Specification of 7 Application filed March 18- tilated and, as a consequence, the parts adhering t0 the surface of the rollers are prevented from baking on, so that the output of the drying rollers is increased.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating my invention Figure l is a side elevation of one constructionfFig. 2 an end elevation of the same partlyin section, Fig. 3 shows one of the agitating arms,,Fig.- 4 is an end elevation partly. in section of another construction piece with the lever arm h:

of the apparatus, and, Fig. 5 is a plan of the mechanlsm for operatin the agitators in the construction shown in ig. 4.

The agitator consists of a frame I), towhich are secured the agitating arms 0. This frame is connected to a rail (1 supported by two guides 13. Inorder to further support the frame 1) guides f are provided opposite the rail (1, in which run rollers fitted to said frame. At'the end of the rail'd the lever arm 9 is attached, which'is made in one Said arm h is moved up and down by the eccentric i, and the agitator is thus moved backwards and forwards at any desired speed, for example at about 30 times per minute.

In order to prevent the substance beween the rollers from being moved backwardsv and forwards as a whole withthe agitating arms, stationary arms 7c are provided, said arms being secured to a rail 1. The surfaces of the agitating arms facing the surface of the rollers are preferably beveled from the center to their edges as shown in Fig. 3. By this section of the arms the substance is more uniformly spread on the rollers.

' In the construction of the drylngmachine shown in Fig. 4 and 5, the arms 0 are secured Letters Patent, 1907. Serial no. 363.030.

ters Patent of the United States is:

1. In a desiccating a iparatus, the combi nation with a pair of rollers, of a reciprocat ing frame arranged above the rollers and ot a width to. extend partially over said rollers, sect of spaced and downwardly projecting arms secured to each longitudinal side of the frame, the arms of each set being curved to conform to the curvature of a roller and ening. the frame.

2. A desiccating apparatus with heated. rollers, comprising in combination, agitating arms disposed in the top space between, and

of, the rollers, means to move said agitating arms'and stationary arms in the top space between the rollers, substantially as, and for the purpose, set forth. A 3. A desiccating apparatus with heated "rollers, comprising in combination, agitating arms disposed in the top space between, and having a form adapted to the circumference of, the rollers and beveled from the center to their edges on the side facing the rollers, and means to move said arms, substantially as, and for the purpose, set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribingwitncsses.
