Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,957, dated March' 26, 1872.
SPECIFICATION.
I, EDGAR B. JEWETT, of the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Refrigerators, of which the following is a specification:
My improvement relates to that class of refrigerators in which the ice-box is provided with a hinge-cover for access to the ice from the top, and also with a door at the front, by means of which two adjacent sides ofthe iceb'ox can be opened and large blocks of ice more readily and conveniently placed therein than when a single door only is provided. In taking ice from the refrigerator access should be had to the icebox through the cover at the top only, as the opening of the door at the front permits the escape of the cold air, which, by reason of its greater density, settles at the bottom. As the front door has to be made sufficiently loose to allow for the contraction and expansion of the wood, the joints around the same cannot be made so tight as to prevent the escape, more or less, of the cold air from provided with a cover at the top and a door at the front side, of a vertically-sliding plate or partition arranged so as to form an inner door r'or'the side aperture of the ice-boX, thereby preventing the escape of the cold air, while the space between it and the outer door serves as a non-conductor and an additional protection from the heat outside.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure I is a vertical section through the ice-box of a refrigerator provided with my improvements. Fig. II is a plan thereof. Y
Like letters refer to like parts in each of the figures.
A is the icebox; B, the cover therefor; C, the front door at the adjacent side; and D, a plate, preferably of zinc or galvanized iron, of the size of the side door, arranged to fit and snugly slide in vertical grooves in the jambs of the door G, from which it can be readily withdrawn after the cover is removed by sliding upward.
This slide, in addition to the advantages above specified, also serves as a guard to prevent the side of the ice-box being opened by careless or negligent servants when procuring ice, which frequently happenswhen the aperture at t-hepside is simply closed by the ordinary single door. y
What I claim as my invention is The combination, in a refrigerator and with an ice-box provided with a cover, B, and frontside door, (l, of the vertically-sliding plate D, as hereinbefore set forth.
EDGAR B. JEWETT.
