The air cleaner of the United Manufacturing and Dis-tributing Co. is of the dry centrifugal type. As may beseen from the sectional view, the air enters at the top andimmediately strikes a rotary baffle which is provided withtwo sets of fins. The fins give a rotary motion to the aircurrent, throwing the dust against the walls of the cham-ber. After passing the edge of the baffle the air is com-pelled to reverse its direction of motion, passing upwardand inward to enter the L shaped outlet of the hub of the rotary baffle is mounted centrally in theoutlet and carries a driving fan at its lower end, by whichthe baffle is set in rotation. The dust drops down the wallsof the cleaner and collects in a readily removable cup, whilethe clean air passes out through the side of the the drawing
