Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A pasta dryer comprising an insulation cladding encasing the dryer and having individual convex wall elements which have edge regions, said dryer having frame parts against which said edge regions are braced, the convex wall elements being in the shape of a cylinder section and the associated frame parts against which said edge regions are braced being shaped to conform to said edge regions, the wall elements being lined on their side facing the inside of the dryer with a plate loosely inserted into the convex shape as a vapor barrier.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A pasta dryer comprising an insulation cladding encasing the dryer and having individual convex wall elements which have edge regions, said dryer having frame parts against which said edge regions are braced, the convex wall elements being in the shape of a cylinder section and the associated frame parts against which said edge regions are braced being shaped to conform to said edge regions, the wall elements being lined on their side facing the inside of the dryer with a plate loosely inserted into the convex shape as a vapor barrier.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
47 words
The pasta dryer as claimed in claim 4, wherein each wall element has an upper and lower end, is suspended at its upper end on hinges and includes tension elements arranged on its lower end, by means of which it is pressed against the corresponding frame parts.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
42 words
The pasta dryer as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one support arm which is mounted on a frame part so as to be capable of being folded down, each arm being constructed to coact with the associated wall element.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
42 words
The pasta dryer as claimed in claim 2, further comprising at least one support arm which is mouted on a frame part so as to be capable of being folded down, each arm being constructed to coact with the associated wall element.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
91 words
A pasta dryer comprising an insulation cladding encasing the dryer and having individual convex wall elements which have edge regions, said dryer having frame parts against which said edge regions are braced, the convex wall elements being in the shape of a cylinder section and the associated frame parts against which said edge regions are braced being shaped to conform to said edge regions, the wall elements being made of insulating material and a resistant outer skin, the outer skin facing the inside of the dryer having at least one groove.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
91 words
A pasta dryer comprising an insulation cladding encasing the dryer and having individual convex wall elements which have edge regions, said dryer having frame parts against which said edge regions are braced, the convex wall elements being in the shape of a cylinder section and the associated frame parts against which said edge regions are braced being shaped to conform to said edge regions, the wall elements being made of insulating material and a resistant outer skin, the outer skin facing the inside of the dryer having at least one groove.
