WATER-COOLER.
Specification of Letters Patent. Application tiled November 11, 1910. Serial No 591,806.
Patented Sept. 26, 1911.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, LEONARD R. STEEL, a
lcitizen of the United States of America, re-
siding at Cleveland, in the county ofCuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Water-Coolers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates Ato water coolers.
It is common in the present practice to employ coolers wherein purified or distilled water is placedinto bottles and the bottle mounted on a stand from which the water from the bottle circulates in coils, metal chambers or the like. This establishes an unsanitary condition in that the water becomes somewhat stagnant and contaminated with germs and the water is in a more un sanitary condition than before it Was filtered.
It is an object in the present invention to provide means whereby the water can be delivered direct from the bottle and in the invention to be hereinafter more fully described, 'means are employed wherein the ice packing wholly'surroundsthe body of the bottle, the chamber for the ice being perforated and being arranged in direct communication with a drain chamber which is constructed so as to allow the water to freely circulate around thatportion of the bottle immediately adjacent its discharge end.
Another object of the invention vis to rovide a novel construction of bottle w ich can be conveniently and quickly associated with the cooling chamber.
Another object isl to rovide the bottle with a vent openin whic is located in the bottom of the bott e, the said bottle being lconstructed so that the vent opening is .above the lowest point of the bottle when the latter is in an upright position.
` In the drawings, forming a portion of this specification and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views Figure 1 is a vertical section through the cooler. Fig. 2 is a erspective Y view of a portion of the neck o the bottle showing the nipple removed therefrom. Fig. 3 1s a similar view showing the nipple attached to the neck. Fig. 4 1s a'section of 'a portion of the bottle showing the cap for the vent passage.
The invention embodies a casing comprising an outer jacket 1 and an inner jacket 2 which are spaced apart by a non-heat conclosed by a .bottom-forming member 4 which p is provided with a peripheralllange 5 embracing the jacket 2 and a horizontal seatforming flange 6 which extends inwardly from the jacket 2, as shown. the jacket is formed to provide an outwardly extending flange 7 and an upwardly extending ange 8, which latter has secured thereto the peripheral flanged end 9 of the upper end of the outer jacket 1. The outwardly extending flange 7 forms a shoulder which is arranged substantially in step-like manner t o the shoulder 10 formed by the bent peripheral upper end of the outer jacket. The outer jacket extends downwardly below the plane of the inner jacket,`
and as illustrated, a bottom-forming member 11 closes the bottom of the outer jacket and it is disposed in spaced yrelation to .the bottom 4, a packing of non-heat conducting material 12 being interposed between the v bottoms 4 and 11 respectively. The bottom member 1l is formed'on its peripheral edge to provide a flange v13 which embraces the outer jacket. vAt the center, the bottom At the top,
member 11 is formed with an openin 14 from which extends a collar 15 whic is secured to the depending colla-r 16 at the center'of the bottom member 4.
An ice chamber 17 is removably mounted within the inner jacket. This chamber comprises an outer vertically disposed wall 18 and an inner vertically disposed wall 19. The lower ends of the walls 18 and 19y are flanges 20 which are secured tothe ange 2l of the perforated bottom 22. The bottom 22 rests directly upon the seat 6 formed upon the bottom member 4. This construction is desirable so that the bottom 22 is spaced lfrom the bottom member 4 so as to for-m a drain space 23. A horizontally disposed bottle rest 24 is formedw'ith an u wardly curved peripheral .portion 25 wich is countersunk inthe offset 26 formed'at the lower end of the inner wall 19, and as illustrated, the said peripheral portion lies llush with the member 19 for a purpose to be here inafterdescribed. The bottle rest is a ertured at its center, as shown at 26', and itis formed at this point to provide a dependin collar 27 which lits within the collar 15 an which is secured thereto in any suitable well known manner, preferabl by solder.'l
' The construction of t e ice chamber is such that the inner wall 19 thereof provides oll'set and formed Vto provide de ending l `a chamber`28 for'the bottle 29.
. the bottle is formed with a npck 29. Then the bottle is linverted and operatively associated in the chamber 28 the neck 29 extends Idownwardlyinto the opening 14. The neck f is formed'with an annular series of deprescoupling 33 are formed.
.sions or notches in .which the radial lugs is operatively mounted in the chamber 28 it `tends upwardly `center of the bottom is supported wholly by the rest 24.
The female member 34 of the coupling'33 is provided with the v interorly threaded socket 35 to receive the eXteriorly threaded portion of the male member 32 which exinto the opening 14 at the member 11. The female member of the coupling is detachably threaded' to the short'extension 36 of the draw-olf faucet 37. The bottom members 4 and 11 respectively, are
v slightly below the plane of the flanged end A` rubber gasketf47 surrounds the nipple and when the cap is tightly adjusted on the` nipple it bears frictionally against the lgasket and the packing 45 is brought to bear directly against the end of the nipple.
vThe .chamber 28 forthe bottle is of a size which willrpermit the bottom' of the bottle when the bottle is inverted to be -disposed 7 of the inner jacket. A` closure 48 is provided for the casing, and as shown., it ,consists of a head 49 and a similar head 50. ,The heads are spaced apart to receivea filling of non-heat ,conducting lmaterial' 51.
The head 50 is formed with a peripheral 1 step portion lpresenting shoulders 52.and 53 respectively, der's 7 and 10 respectively, at the top of the easing. The Vclosure is rovided with a suitable handle Theinner wall 19 of .the ice chamber 17 is stamped ,to form eyes 55with vwhich handles 56 are'pivotally engaged.'
At one end formed with alining 'to be seated against. the shoulafter which, the casing of the cooler 1s"in` verted and placedy over the bottle so as to vcause the neck of the bottle to extend through the opening 14. After this has been done the female memberjof the coupling 33 is engaged with the male member 32 of the coupling. l/Vhen these parts are properly assembled with Veach other the cooler is placed in its operative position, after which, the ice chamber 17 is inserted in the chamber so as to wholly surround the bottle. The cap 44 of the bottle is removed so as to permit the required quantity of air to .enter the bottle on the displacement of `liquid therefrom. When the Iclosure. 48 is closed against the casing a most desirable air tight joint. is formed between the. closure and the casing to exclude the air from the ice chamber. fromthe cooler the to drained from the ice chamber 17 and from the drain or refrigerating'space 23. The cover of the coolerl and ice vchamber respectively, are then removed and\the cooler is .inverted so as to permit the operatorv to separate the faucet 37 from the neck of the bottle. A bottle constructed a's described while being extremely desirable for use in connection with the specificv cooler described, will be found most desirable when usedv in connection with other well coolers.
From the construction of the cooler it will be seen that I the refrigerant, suc as ice, wholly around the bottle. The drain chamber 23 which is in direct communication with the ice chamber allows the weight of water from the ice to circulate about the collar 27 -which will faucet 40 is first.v opened known forms of In removing an empty bottle permit the water to be thoroughly` rovide means confining v tend to a considerable extent to cool that thereof. In this instance,l
