Abstract
An air drier apparatus including a housing having an open bottom end, a drying agent storage casing disposed within the housing and a bottom end cover blocking the open bottom end of the housing is provided with a securing plate member which is positioned within the bottom portion of the drying agent storage casing and has a lock nut incorporated thereon. A single bolt member engages the lock nut and secures the bottom portion of the storage casing to the bottom end cover. A moisture sensing member is disposed in position within either the housing or bottom end cover in such manner as to monitor the moisture content of the compressed air existing in a purge chamber defined between the housing and the drying agent storage casing. A belt-like fixing member is placed around the outer circumference of the housing for mounting the air drier apparatus. The housing is provided with an annular projection or recess mating snugly with a complementary annular recess or projection on the inner circumference of the belt-like fixing member.
