VIITNESSESY:
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRIEDRICH WESEMANN, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN ICE-RECEPTACLES FOR CORPSVEfPRESERVERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 157,561, dated December 8, 1874; application tiled August 2'2, 1874.
y is a specification:
In the drawing, Figure l represents a top v1ew of my ice-receptacle for corpse-preservers with cover detached; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section on the line c c, Fig. l;
Fig. 3, a vertical transverse section of the same on the line ac or, Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 a detail vertical section of the ice-supporting ribs and water-conducting troughs.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingparts.
The object of my invention is to provide for corpse-preservers an improved ice-receptacle, from which a greater quantity of cold air is conducted tothe corpse, and the same thereby cooled off in less time and more effectively, being better preserved thereby than with the ice-box attachments heretofore employed.
The invention will irst be fully described, and then pointed out in the claim.
In the drawing, A represents a corpse-preserver of the usual shape and construction, to which the ice-receptacle O is applied by means of detachable supporting slide-pieces b, and projecting lugs a., in such a manner that the whole receptacle C may be stored in the interior of the outer case or preserver, to be placed in elevated position after the corpse has been laid thereon. The coverB serves for preserver A, and for ice-receptacle O, being made in one piece, with a central smaller lid, Bf, for inserting the ice into the ice-box. The bottom of the ice-receptacle C is made of lateral supporting-braces D, which are slightly arched, and arranged at suitable distances from each other for the passage of the air.
Small ribs or noses d run along the lower edges of the braces D, for conducting the dripwater of the melting ice to the similarlyarched lateral troughs E, which have angular or curved cross-sections, and extend, under suitable inclination, from the middle of one brace to the middle of the adjoining one, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 4, leaving an air-space of suitable width between the lower trough parts and the brace for the free downward passage of the cold air along the whole bottom of the receptacle to the corpse below. The lateral troughs E convey the drip-water to longitudinal and inclined side gutters F, having spouts F at the lower ends, and rubber tubes attached thereto, and then through a bottom perforation, c, of the preserver, to some vessel outside.
As the cold air descends from the ice-receptacle and settles on the corpse, it causes the rapid and complete cooling of the same along every part, and not at special parts only, keeping the same thereby in a perfect ystate of preservation.
The warm air is forced to the outside through a perforation, f, in the cover, and its place continually supplied by colder air, so that the corpse is exposed to a uniform degree of temperature without moisture, as the dripwater runs ott as soon as collected.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A receptacle, O, provided with cover B B', and lugs a, combined with a corpse-preserver, having the slide-pieces b, as and for the purpose described.
