Description
A. TRAUBE DRYING MACHINE Oct. 20, 1953 Filed Sept. 26, 1950 llllllllllllllllllnl INVENTOR. "/mh am 774w Zoe ATTORNEY.
Pate! .ted Oct. 20, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 6 Claims.
This invention relates to a drying machine, for clothes and other articles, of the type in which heated air is drawn or forced through a rotary drum containing the articles to be dried.
In machines of this type as heretofore used, the heated air was caused to pass in contact with parts of the metallic structure with the result that such parts became highly heated, with the result that fragile fabrics and other articles contacting such heated metal parts were frequently damaged and heat was lost through radiation from the outer casing and parts of the machine that were unduly heated.
One object of the present invention is to provide a stationary heating coil located entirely within a rotating extension of a rotary drum within which the articles are contained.
Another object is to locate the heating coil at one end of a drum having perforations for the escape of the air localized at the opposite end of the circumference of the drum. Still another object is to provide a drum having heating coils in both ends and having outlet perforations in the circumference of the drum at its medial portion.
The construction of the drying machine is' such that the air heated by the coil passes directly to the articles being dried and excessive heat in the metal parts of the machine, and losses by radiation, are entirely prevented.
With these and other objects in View, the present invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawe ings and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes may be made in the constructional details without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is an end View of the machine shown partly in section on the line I-l, of Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Fig. 3 is a view drawn to a reduced scale and showing in longitudinal section part of a modified form of the machine.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the horizontally disposed rotary drum I is formed with longitudinal internally projecting ribs H and a concentric cylindrical extension l2, having a stationary heating coil l3 mounted therein. Bevel rings I4 are mounted near the ends of the cylinder l0 and these rings l4 engage spaced bevel rollers l5 suitably mounted on fixed pivots It so that they serve as supports for the rotating drum The drum I0 is enclosed in a fixed casing I! having a hinged or removable door is which may be readily opened to permit loading and unloading of the drum through the open end i9 thereof. The left-hand end, Fig. 1, of the circumferential wall of the drum H3, is provided with perforations 38 through which the air is drawn by means of a duct and fan or impeller 2| from which it is forced through a casing 22 and through a screen or lint-catcher 23 to an outlet duct 24. The fan 21 is driven by a suitable electric motor 25 which may also drive, through a suitable reducing and reversing gear, a belt pulley 26, which through the medium of a V-belt 2?, drives a large belt pulley 28 secured on the said extension 12 so that the drum 10, mounted on the rollers l5, may be caused to rotate or rock at moderate speed, being preferably rotated for several revolutions in one direction, then reversed and rotated for a like number of revolutions in the opposite direction.
The said casing l enclosing the left-hand por-- tion of the drum, Fig. 1, is provided at its open right-hand end with a fixed steam pipe or like heating element 29 and, in close proximity to the pipe 29, an annular rib 30 is secured on the outer periphery of the drum, so that air drawn into the casing I6 is partially or moderately heated and is thus prevented from chilling the left-hand end of the drum. At its right-hand end, the drum and its extension l2 are enclosed Within a fixed casing 3|, the left-hand extremity of which is spaced from the casing l! and permits admission of air to the casing l1 and also permits the passage of a restricted volume of air over the righthand portion of the drum to the interior of the extension [2 so that overheating of the righthand portion of the drum is prevented and the said restricted air supply is preheated. The main supply of air to the interior of the extension 12 is provided through an opening 32 in the casing 3|, and the heating element It is preferably supported by the casing 31 and is completely enclosed within the said extension l2.
Fig. 3 of the drawings shows a modified ar rangement in which a drum 33 is provided with a band of perforations 39 located at its medial portion while an axial extension 35 at each end contains a heating element and the drying air is drawn off through a centrally located duct 35. A door 36 in a fixed casing 37 provides access to a door 48 in the drum 33 so that the drum may be loaded and unloaded.
In operation, and referring to the machine shown at Figs. 1 and 2, the clothes or other wet or damp articles are supplied to the drum through its open end l9, the main coil I3 and the auxiliary coil 29 are heated, the drum is caused to rotate in the manner above described and the fan 2| is driven so that air is drawn through the perforations 38 located only in the portion of the drum remote from the coil i3 and as the clothes are displaced by the action of the rotating ribs I i, the main volume of air entering through the opening 32 and Passing over the coil I3 is brought into intimate contact with all the surfaces of the clothes and the metal parts of the drum and of its extension i2 and of the casing I'I, 3| are protected against overheating by the restricted air supply admitted between the casing parts I! and 3| and passing in both directions therefrom.
Although the drawings and the above specification disclose the best modes in which I have contemplated embodying my invention, I desire to be in .no way limited to the details of such disclosure for in the further practical application of my invention many changes in oonstruc tional details may be made as circumstances require or experience suggests, without departing from the spirit of the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
