drinks, milk and other beverages by im-- mersing the bottles containing the same in a cooling bath of ice and water, while the bottles thus treated are in a position to be viewed by customers, in like manner to a show case.
Another object is to provide means for catching the condensation that takes place around the outside of the tank or body of the cooler and for carrying off the same and the said means may be utilized to receive water drained from the tank when it is de sired to renew the cooling medium therein.
A further object is to provide means on the cooling device to support the empty bottles after removal from the tank and their contents are consumed, so that the empty bottles may be temporarily held in an out of the way place.
A full and complete understanding of the invention may be obtained from a careful consideration of the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, it being understood that while the drawing shows a practical form of the invention, the latter is not-confined to strict conformity therewith, but may be changed or modified so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention, as specifically pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cooler;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the cooler;
Fig. 4: is an end elevation of the cooler with parts broken away;

trating the manner of securing the leg bracing members to the tank.
In the drawings, there is shown a tank 1 which, while illustrated as being of rectangular form, may be of any other desired shape and proportion. The tank is composed of galvanized iron or other suitable material and consists of two relativelylong sides, two ends and a bottom, and may be either open at the top, as shown-in the drawing, or may be otherwise constructed to secure the full benefits of the cooling medium and at the same time permit a view of the various bottles or other containers within the tank. It is preferred to provide the upper edges of the sides and ends of the tank with a flange 2 for stiffening and other purposes. The two ends and what may be termed the rear side of the tank are provided at their lower edges with a continuous communicating trough or gutter 3, formed in any suitable manner, as by continuing the metal of the walls of the tank downwardly and outwardly to a sufficient extent. At one end of the tank a drain valve 4 is provided at a point adjacent the bottom 5 of the said tank and has its trough when it is desired to empty the tank of accumulated water caused by the melting 1 of the ice used as a cooling agent. The
trough or gutter 3 declines toward that end of the tank having the drain valve or spigot,"
and the trough at the low point is provided with a drain pipe 6 which acts 'to continuously drain the gutter. Beneath the bottoms) and arranged in spaced relation thereto is another or false bottom 7, which may be made of sheet metal, such as galvanized iron and is bent at its center to form slightly declining planes extending toward the ends of the tank and has its terminal portions bent" in a corresponding curve to the gutter 3. The margins of the false bottom are clamped around the upper edges of the end members of the gutter as shown at 8, thus serving as a means for securing the said false bottom 7 to the tank 1. Suitable perforations 7 a are provided in the end walls of the tank beneath the bottom 5 to permit any condensation falling upon the false bottom 7 to pass into the end members of the gutter 3.
Secured to the underside of the bottom 7 and adjacent to the ends thereof are spaced eyes 9, which may be formed of metal and soldered or otherwise secured to the bottom 7. Folding legs or supports 10, preferably formed of gas pipe, have their upper portions formed-into bearing members 11 engaging the eyes 9 and each at an intermedlate point formed into a depending eye 12 surrounded by the looped end 13 of struts or braces 14, the inner ends of which are laterally bent at 15, preferably one to the right and the other to the left and are adapted to be h oked into a keeper 16 se-.
cured to the underside of thefalse bottom 7 at a central point thereof.
A simple folding supporting structure is thus formed, which may be folded up beneath the bottom 7 and entirely out of the way when it is desired to use the cooling tank on a table, counter, or other support, or for storage purposes. 7
The front of the tank is provided with a table or platform 17 formed by extending the bottom plate 5 of the tank outwardly and bending the outer edge thereof upwardly to form a flange 18. A plate 19 is made fast to this upturned flange 18 and extends across the front of the tank and its ends act to close the front terminals of the;
end members of the trough 3. The platform 17 communicates at its ends with the fron terminals of the ends of the gutter 3 and any water or moisture thereon will freely, drain into the gutter and the sald platform with a portion of the drainage means at a 17 serves as a support for empty bottles after they have been removed from the tank 1.
It will be seen that the condensation upon the outside of the tank 1 is free to gravitate to the gutter 3 and to be carried off through the drain pipe 6. .At the same time the moisture on the under side of the bottom 5 will drop to the inclined faces ofthe bottom 7 and pass through the opening 7 into th gutter 3 and also be taken care of.
The device is especially adapted for store I use and has the advantages of exposing the contents of the tank 1 to the view of customers and at the same time of automatically taking care of any molsture upon the outside of the dev ce, and is of a nature to trough about the remaining sides of the,
tank at the lower edge of the latter and at a lower level than the platform .and into which the platform discharges at both ends, said platform being constructed to support empty bottles. 7
2. Acooler comprisinga rectangular tank open at its top and having its end walls and one side wall extended below the bottom plate thereof and curved outwardly and upwardly to form a continuous trough or gutter sloping toward a common point, a drain pipe located at said point, a drain board beneath the tank and sloping from the center downwardly toward each end and there discharging into the trough, a plat-' form extended along the other side of the tank on a level with the bottom thereof and having a. marginal upstanding edge and mean for supporting the tank.
3. A cooler for bottled drinks, comprising unitary structure consisting of an elonated open tank having drainage means bout its lower edge to receive surface condensation from the outside walls of the tank,
higher level and of greater lateral extent from the tank than the remainder of the drainage means with the portion of higher level substantially coextensive with one long side of the tank, and a drain board underlying the tank and discharging into the drainage means about the lower edge of the tank, the several parts being permanently joined into a single structure.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signa ture in the presence of two witnesses.
