edge of the tray and to which the wallv 21 is To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES "CLINTON CLARK, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York city, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improved Weighing Devices, of which the following is a specification. I
My invention relates to an improvement in combined weighing devices to be fixed in the interior of a refrigerator and is intended to show the amount of ice delivered to the consumer. I
The further object is to so arrange the platform of the tray that the air will pass under and over corrugated channels to allow the cooled air to drop to the lower portion of the refrigerator without carrying moisture and to carry off the drippings so that they will not come in contactwith the material to be kept cool.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a cross section with the front of the refrigerator cutaway. Fig. 2, is an interior side view with a section of the refrigerator cut away. Fig. 3
is a top view of the tray. Fig. 4 is a top view of the shafts by-means of which the .tray is raised. Fig. 5 is a top view of the crossbars by means of which the tray is suspended.
In the drawings Fig. 1 represents a front cross section on line 11 of Fig. 2, in which 10 represents the refrigerator; 12 the scale set on the upper outside part of the refrigerator; 13 the connecting. rod between scale 12 and the tray platform 16; 14 represents a cap or closing device attached to rod 13 and which is intended to close the opening through whiEh the rod 13 extends, in order to prevent the ingress and egress of the air into and out of the refri erator; 1'5 represents the conveying cross a'rs to which the I tray is attached by means of the rods 17, which are fixed to the cross bars 17 by suitable means at the top and the lower ends of which are preferably hooked into the ears 18 which are attached to the upper endof the frame 22 of the tray; 19 and 20 arechannels preferably of V shape and set' in the position shown in Fig. 1; 21 is a wall of suitable height and materialand which 1s fixed to the rear and sides of the tray, which is set on an incline toward the rear, and tends to carry the water to the outlet. 22 is a flange surrounding and attached to the firmly fixed; 23 is a shaft one end of which sets in a collar 29 and the other end resting in a journal fixed in the inner side of the wall of the refrigerator thence through the hub of a cog-wheel 2525 set in a space between the inner and outer v wall of the refrigerator running through the outer wall resting in a collar 28 and to the end of-27 which is fixed the lever 26, provided to operate the shafts 23. The shaft 23 is provided with arms to carry rollers 24-24, upon which rests the lower inner flan e 30 o the tray 16. 30 is the lower inner ange ofthe tray 16.
Fig. '2 is a cross section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1 and in which 11 represents the door of the refrigerator showing the side view of the channels 19 2O and a side view of the cog-wheels attached to one end of the shafts and the cogs intermesh in order to operate both shafts in order to afi'ord a .solid base for the tray and thus prevent the continuous operation of the scale. Fig. 3 is avplan view of the tray.
Fig. 4 is a plan'view of the tray raising and to which at its central portion the rod 13 is fixed to connect with the scale 12.
Like figures repr%ent like parts. In order to accommodate the cog wheels, a section of the insulation of the refrigerator is cut away, so that the cog wheels and shafts will have free movement between the inner and outer walls of the refrigerator.
When the various parts are all assembled and the refrigerator is ready to receive a cake of ice of say 100 lbs. weight, the lever 26 is swung downward, in order to turn the, wheels and the shafts and lay the arms 24 of the levers in opposite directions fiat, in
order to allow the tray to swing freely and thus operate the scale .to show the weight of the ice-deposited on the tray. When the weight of the ice is ascertained by means of the scales in order to prevent the continuous oscillation of the tray, the lever is turned up and by means of the cogs of the wheels meshing, the arms 24 are forced upward and the tray rests on the arms. This is facilitated by the aid of the rollers that overcome friction. a a a When the tray carrying the ice is fixed in position the plug 14 is forced upward and closes the opening through which the 'rod' 13 extends to connect with the scale. It
is well known that the cold air descends and in descending has to pass through the spaces between the channels and is thus thoroughly mixed and spread in an even temperature tors, .comprising a tray suspended within the refrigerator, a scale positioned on the upper outer side of the refrigerator, a pair of cross-bars arranged above said tray, each cross-bar having means connected at each end thereof and with the tray for supporting the tray, and a rod removably connected to the cross-bars and scale provided with a closing cap, said tray being provided with a platform and having air channels between the platform and the bottom of the tray, substantially as described.
2. An ice weighing device for refrigerators, comprising a tray suspended within the interior, a scale positioned on the upper outer side of the refrigerator, supporting means arranged above and connected to said tray for suspending the same, a rod removably connected to said supporting means and scale, a pair of shafts positioned below said tray, a pair of cog-wheels between the inner and outer wall of the refrigerator for connecting said shafts and imparting a rotary movement thereto, and a pair of projecting arms secured to the said shafts near each end thereof, said arms carrying means adapted to form a supporting base for the tray to rest upon.
