REGINALD E. GRIFFITHS AND WILLARD G. SMITH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
, ICE CARRIER.
Application fi led February 9, 1923. Serial No. 618,086.
To (116 whom i! may concern:
Be it known that we, REGINALD E nrrrrrrrs and lVILLARn G. SMITH, citizens of the United States, residing at New York city, State of New Yorl have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice Carriers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved ice carrier particularly designed for domestic use and seeks, as one of its principal objects,
to provide a device whereby a housewife may conveniently carry a block of ice from a dumb waiter or the like to a refrigerator.
The invention has as a further object to provide a device so constructed that a block of ice may be readily slid into the device and as easily discharged therefrom.
And the invention has as astill further object to provide a device which will be simple in construction and which may be produced at moderate cost so that the device may be placed upon the market at a cost within the financial reach of the average purchaser.
Other and incidental objects will appear herein a t'tcr.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved ice carrier,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the device, and
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.
In carrying the invention into eltect, we form our improved ice carrier with apreferably oblong scoop-shaped body having a flat bottom wall 10, spaced parallel side walls 11, and a back wall 12 closing the body at its rear end and connected to the rear ends of the side walls by flaps or ears 18 riveted or otherwise secured to said side walls. Preferably, the body is formed from a single piece of suitable resilient sheet metal bent to the desired shape and, as will be observed, the back wall is slightly higher than the side walls while said side. walls are provided at their forward ends with sloping edges so as to eliminate the presence of any undesirable sharp angles at the mouth of the carrier. Riveted or otherwise secured to said sloping edges of the side walls as well as to the upper edges thereof and to the upper edge of the back wall 12, are channel shaped. binding strips til. reinforcing said walls. Similarly secured to the bottom wall at its forward end is a channel shaped wear strip 15 which will not only serve to reinforce this wall but will also serve to prevent premature injury thereto. Riveted or otherwise secured at their ends to the side walls are handles 16 which, as best shown in Figure 1, incline downwardly toward the forward ends of said walls. Thus, as will be seen, the device is exceedingly simple in construction and may be readily produced.
As will now be readily understood in view of the foregoing, the carrier may be rested at its forward end upon the shelf of a dumb waiter or other surface, when a block of ice may be readily slid into the'carrier. This done, the handles 16 of the device may be grasped and, due to the inclination of said handles, the device will, when the handles are so grasped, normally be tilted rearwa-rdly, as suggested in Figure 2, to dispose the handles in horizontal position. It should be noted that the position of the handles is such that the middle portions of the handles are situated in advance of the center of gravity of the body and that, consequently, the carrier will be held. in such tilted position naturally and without any effort of the user. This will, of course, pre' vent the block of ice from sliding forwardly out of the carrier so that the block of ice may be conveniently carried within the device to be deposited in a refrigerator. or the like, it being easily possible, as will be appreciated, to slide the block of ice out of the carrier by simply tilting the carrier forwardly. Thus, by the use of the device, a block of ice may be easily handled without likelihood of dropping the ice as well as without dripping, the device being preferably constructed to contain any water collecting therein as the ice melts.

Having thus described the invention, what i is claimed as new is:
in ice carrier comprising a body having whereby, when the handles are held in bottom, back and side Walls, the front and horizontal position, the body will be nortop being open to accommodate a, block mally tilted reurwardly to retain the ice. 10 of ice, and handles secured upon the side In testimony whereof we afiix our signa- 5 walls and inclined in the longitudinal ditures.
rection thereof with their middle portion in REGINALD E. GRlFFIlI-IS. IZL. 8.] advance of the center of gravity of the body VILLARD Gr. SMITH. [1,. j
