EGG-CARRIER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 15, 1920.
Application filed March 29, 1917. Serial No. 158,422.
T 0 all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, Aaron V. LEA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bisbee, in the county of Cochise and State of Arizona, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an egg carrier and the principal object of the invention is to provide means for safely supporting the eggs, while at the same time providing means for keeping the carrier cool.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for insulating the carrier, so as to prevent the transmission of heat thereto.
Another object of the invention is to surround the egg compartments in the carrier by an air space.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is simple and durable in construction, reliable and eflicient in operation, and one which can be manufactured and placed upon the market at a minimum cost.
To accomplish the above and various other objects, my invention consists essentially of a carrier or receptacle with compartments therein for containing the eggs and *means in the carrier for receiving ice to keep the carrier cool, means for insulating the carrier and means for providing an air space around the walls of the carrier.
The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination. and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view, with the cover removed.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section.
Fig. 3 is a side View of one of the trays partly broken away.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the receptacle 1 showing the insulated construction thereof.
In these drawings, the receptacle is indicated by the numeral and I prefer to make this receptacle of metal, having a layer of wood 1&- next to the metal, then a layer of cork 15 or some other insulating material and its interior wall 16 formed of metal.
The receptacle is provided with two han-- dies 2 and a cover 8. l/Vithin the receptacle 1, I provide a frame 3 consisting of four sides, all of which are spaced from the walls of the receptacle 1 to permit rapid circulation of air entirely around and through the frame. At each end of this frame, I form an egg compartment f and 5, and an ice compartment 6 is located between the egg compartments and extends transversely of the frame 3. By spacing the frame from the walls of the receptacle, an air space 7 he provided. The frame is also spaced from the top of the receptacle and from the bottom of the same by means of horizontal cross block 8 so as to provide an air space 9 between the bottom of the receptacle and the bottom of the frame. A pair of vertical blocks 8 are secured to each wall of the re cent the end of its respective wall. The two adjacent blocks on adjacent walls of the receptacle snugly engage two adjacent walls of the frame 3 for spacing said frame from the side walls of the receptacle.
I prefer to place the eggs in separate layers in cases 10, each case being formed of sheet metal having holes ll therein, and their bottoms formed of wire gauze 1.2. 12 are the usual partitions of card board.
As shown, the cases are located one above the other in the compartment. The ice compartment is formed of perforated sheet metal and is provided with drain tubes 13 for draining the water therefrom. It will also be noted that the perforations in the sides of the ice compartment aline with the holes 11 in the respective trays, and accordingly permits the cool air to pass directly from the interior of the ice compartment throughout the entire length of the trays, and also that the wire mesh bottoms of the trays permit the cool air to circulate vertically as well as horizontally of the receptacle to completely aerate each egg. The cases or trays 10 are of such length, that one end thereof alouts with the end of the frame 3, while the other end of the tray abuts with the wall of the ice compartment,
and accordingly the openings in the trays and ice compartment are always kept in alinement.
By my invention the eggs are not only carried safely against breakage, but they are prevented from being spoiled in hot Weather by means of the ice cooled air circulating around them, the air remaining cool, not matter how hot the day, on account of the insulated walls of the receptacle.
It is thought from the foregoing that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may -make slight changes in the construction and in the arrangement and combination of the several parts, provided such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
7 1. An egg carrier comprising a receptacle, a frame consisting of four side walls spaced from the side walls and the top and bottom of the receptacle, an egg compartment in each end of the frame, an ice compartment in the center of the frame and between said egg compartments, said ice compartment having a plurality of horizontal rows of perforations in the side walls thereof, a plurality of egg trays having screen bottoms and a horizontal series of perforations in their walls, the outside end of each tray abutting with the end wall of the frame while the inner end wall of each tray abuts with the side wall of the ice compartment to prevent movement of the trays and to retain the perforations in the inner end walls of the trays in alinement with the perforae tions in the ice compartment.
2. An egg carrier comprising a rectangular receptacle, a pair of vertical blocks upon each wall adjacent the ends of the walls, horizontal blocks on the bottom of the receptacle each one being arranged adjacent the corners of the receptacle, a pair of spaced horizontal blocks on the bottom of the receptacle adjacent the center thereof, a rectangular frame resting upon the horizontal blocks and abutting with the vertical blocks, a perforated ice compartment arranged centrally of the receptacle and supported from the bottom thereof by the spaced horizontal blocks adj acent the center of the bottom, a plurality of egg trays ar ranged one upon the other and upon each side of the ice compartment, said egg trays having a screened bottom and perforated walls, the bottom tray of each set of trays being supported upon one horizontal block and one central horizontal block'so thatone end of each tray abuts with the end wall or the frame and the other end abuts with the ice compartment 'for preventing movement of several trays and to retain the perforations in the egg trays and the ice compartments in alinement with one another.
3. An egg "carrier comprising a receptacle, a frame arranged within the receptacle and spaced from the inner walls thereof, egg compartments in each end of said frame, an ice compartment arranged in said frame between said egg compartments, said ice compartment being provided with a plurality of horizontalrows of perforations, egg trays in said egg compartments and having their walls provided with a horizontal row of perforations and one end of said trays abutting with the end walls of the frame while the opposite end walls of the trays abut with the side walls of the ice compartment to retain the perforations in the trays and ice compartment in alinement with one another.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
