IMPROVEMENT IN TOBACCO-CURING APPARATUS.
Specilcation forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,277, dated April 2, 1872.
' Specification describing a Process and Apparatus for Yellowing Tobacco, and subse- 4quently rendering it pliable, invented by 'tion ofthe adjustable evaporator, provided with subjacent chamber for coal-box.
A is a tobacco-house;4 B B, furnaces opening on the outside, and provided with shields B, on the inside of the building. C are section al heating-pipes. D are vaporizers, placed in adjustable frames D', and upon said pipes. E are charcoal boxes; and F the chimney of the furnace. a are set-screws; b, dampers; and c. connecting and detachable ilanges on the end of pipes C'.
YVater is placed inthe evaporators D which rest near the heating-pipes C. Tobacco is hung up in the house A, th`e"latter is tightly closed, and the fires started in the furnaces. As the pipes radiate heat into the chamber, the vaporizers D inoisten the air, thus producing a high but moist temperature, which superinduces the yellow color desired. When the tobacco has been yellowcd to the satisfaction of the operator, the water is drawn from the val porizers; a gradual increase of heat is then secured for drying the lea-ves, stalk, and stem.
The tobacco is now cured. The furnace fires are now put out and the vaporizers raised and filled with water. The boxes E, provided with charcoal lires, are then placed beneath the vaporizing-kettles and caused to evolve aqueous Vvapor into the air until the 'tobacco is sufn ciently impregnated therewith, made pliable, and can be handled without fracture. The heating-pipessare made in readily detachable sections, and connected by flanges c, so that they may be conveniently taken apart and cleaned.
Having thus described all that is necessary 'to a full understanding of my invention, what I esteem to be new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The process of yellowing tobacco by api plying heat and steam simultaneously and previous to the process of drying the leaves and stems, as described.
2. I claim, in tobacco-houses, the :arrangement of the furnaces B on the outside and with shields B on the inside, in order to distribute the heat more equably through the building, as described.
3. The vaporizers D, arranged on adjustable frames D, which themselves rest on the heating-pipes C when yellowing the tobacco,
'butare raised to receive thereunder the charcoal boxes E, when moistening it, all as set forth.
