DRINK-SHAKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 740,446, dated October 6, 1903.

' Application filed July 3, 1903. Serial No. 164,114 .No modem To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, NESTOR LATTARD and ANDREW O. Sonorr, citizens of the United States, and residents of the borough of Manhattan, in the city and State of New York,have invented a new and useful Drink-Shaker, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to a drink-shaker, with the object in viewbf providing a shaker which will cool the drink without bringing the cooling medium in actual contact with it. In certain beverages--for instance, milkpunchit is quite desirable to serve the drink cool, but without ice mixed with it, and in all cases where there is any doubt as to the purity of the ice it is important to prevent it from contaminating the drink. Our invention provides for the attainment of these desirable ends and enables us to use any quality of ice, pure or impure, as the cooling medium without any liability of ill efiects.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in side elevation as in use. longitudinal section on the line AA of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section inverted with cap removed for charging with ice, and Figs. 4 and 5 show modified forms.

The body of the shaker is denoted by 1. Its side wall may be of the usual form and is intended to receive the glass 2 in its mouth, as is now common. From the bottom of the body 1 a core, consisting of a truncated cone 3, extends along within and spaced from the wall of the body to a point preferably a short distance beyond the mouth, its outer or upper end 4: being closed and its lower end, which preferably occupies the whole or the greater portion of the bottom of the body 1, being left open to receive the ice or other cooling medium.

In practice we prefer to extend the core or ice-chamber 3 a short distance below the bottom of the body 1, as shown at 5, to form the seat for a cap 6, which forms a removable closure for the core. A'convenient means for holding the cap 6 in position is what is commonly known as the bayonet-joint, (represented at 7.) The core 3 may be brazed to the body 1 at the bottom of the latter.

In use the interior of the core 3 may be filled with cracked ice, or any suitable cooling medium may be placed therein and the Fig. 2isa' cap 6adjusted in its position. The glass with the beverage therein may be then brought into engagement with the mouth of the shaker, as is usual, and the liquid caused by shaking to travel back and forth along the exterior of the wall of the core 3, cooled by the cooling medium within the chamber, and thus becomes rapidly cooled to the desired temperature. The charge of ice may be renewed as often as necessary, but will last for several operations.

When it is desired to use our invention by utilizing a valuable silver shaker, the core 8 (shown in Fig. 4) may be provided with an external screw-thread 9 and screwed into aninternally-screw-threaded ringlO, brazed to thejnner face of the bottom of the shaker, or, as shown in Fig. 5, the mouth of the core 11 may be provided with an internal screwthread 12 and may be screwed onto an externally-screw-threaded plate 13, brazed to the botton of the shaker. In all the forms the core may be opened to receive its charge of ice or other cooling medium and the drink may be quickly cooled by its contact with the outer wall of the core Without coming in contact with the cooling medium itself.

What we claim is y 1. A drink-shaker comprising. a body portion for receiving the glass, a core for receiving the cooling medium and means for gaining access to the interior of the core.

2. A drinkshaker, comprising a body portion for receiving the glass, 2. core extending within and spaced from the body portion and means for gaining access to the interior of the core to charge it.

3. A drink-shaker, comprising a body portion for receiving the glass, a core secured to the body portion and opening through the bottom of said body portion and a cap forming a removable closure for the end ofthe core.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names, in presence of two witnesses, this 2d day of July,

NESTOR LATTABD. ANDREW C. SGHOTT. 'Witnesses:

FREDK. HAYNES, HENRY THIEME.
