and ,having a laterally extending pipe 13 communicating through its central portion. The pipe 13, projects through the side of the receptacle 10 and carries one end of a coupling 1%. The coupling 1i ,connect-s a length of preferably copper pipe 15 to the pipe 13, the pipe 15 being adapted to convey the water from the receptacle to any desired point of discharge: The bottom 12 slopes down toi'its central portion to insure the flow of,the water to the pipe 13 and carries a screw cap 16 ovef the .entrance to the pipe 13.

Fitted in the upper end of the receptacle 10 is an annular frame 17 provided with an outstanding annular head 18 engaging the upper edge offthe receptacle to limit the downward movement of the frame. The lower end of the frame 17 is closed by a disk screen 19 having its edge secured to the lower edge of the frame. An imperforate drip plate 20 -engages diametrically across the frame 17 and forms the central portion of the disk, the disk thereby being divided into two sections having their inner opposite edges suitably secured to the opposite edges. extending To all whom it may-concern.

Be it known that 1, CHARLES F. Brsnor, citizen of the United States, residing at Lestershire, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Drip-Fans,

is a'specification for use in connectlon with refrigerators employed in. dwellings and the like wherega portable drainage device is necessary for catching the dripping water from theice.

The invention has for an object to provide tube to carryo the water, and a screen to catch the slime vcarried from it from entering the tube.

Another object of this invention is toproof the tube with a proand to provide the drip tecting screen cap,

disk above the cap to inan with a screen I sure the stoppage -of'slime, the screen dis-k being detachable so thatit canbe renewed or taken from the receptacle and; cleansed,

A further object of this i'nventi on is to rovide a screen disk with an imperforate at its central portion upon which the water from the refrigerator is adapted handle 21' is carried upon the 1n the water will not be disk by the presstances carried frame when it is desired to cleanse the disk.

In use, the water, in the refrigerator drops from the pipe 11 on to the central portion of the drip plate 20. The water spreads over, the drip plate and filters through the screen 19 into the receptacle 10. The foreign substances usually carried off from the refrigerator in the water are held uponithe disk screen 19 from falling into the receptacle, particularly since there is no force upon the water to force. the particles through the; screen. The water drops directly upon the drip, plate perforate and flows laterally therefrom over the disk sections. The water disposed in the receptacle 10 moves by gravity toward thecentral portion of the bottom 12 and. passes through the cap 16 and into the pipe 13. The water is conveyed through the pipe 15 to any suitable point of discharge.

When thedisk screen 19 becomes 'clogge it can be readily removed by the handle 21 and be'cleansed, th dripping water filtering through the cap 16, wh'le the screendisk 19 is removed. When the device is the water filters through the disk screen 19 Other 'objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

' For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing in which: I

- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the drip pan applied to a refrigerator; Fig. 2 is an enlarged central and,. verticalsection taken through the drip pan; and Fig. 3'1s'a perview 0 the device, showing the parts removed fron 'one another.
