"Zhwamam v 'f M I W" UNTTED STATES PATENT O EIcE.
JAMES c. JoNES, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN REFRIGERATORS FCR TRANSPORTING OYSTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,089, dated December 22,1874; application filed November 25, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES C. J oNEs, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented an lmproved Package for Transporting Oysters and similar articles and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
My invention relates to a means for keeping shelled oysters and other perishable articles in a state of preservation while being transported in bulk to distant places in pails, casks, or other vessels.
The invention consists in the combination, with a pail, cask, or other vessel, of a removable bottomless covered lining, provided with external cavities or recesses for holding ice, whereby the contents of the vessel may be kept in a state of preservation by means of the ice, and at the same time be entirely protected from contact therewith, and whereby, also, provision is afforded for the easy removal of the preserved contents of the vessel at the proper time, and for the repeated use of the vessel.
The removable lining may be of any suita ble construction which will admit of the proper packing of the stock and the ice.
The form which is at present deemed most desirable is shown in the accompanying drawin g, in which Figure l is a central vertical sectional view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view at right angles to Fig. 1.
A represents a pail or other vessel, made preferably with a bulge, or with its diameter slightly less at the bottom than at the top and middle portion. B is the removable lining, which may be of any suitable material, preferably of sheet-metal. It is cylindrical in form, with its upper end closed, but its lower end entirely open. The lower end, which may be made slightly conical, fits tightly within the conical lower portion of the vessel like a valve in its seat, and its lower edges may also fit in a groove at the bottom of the Vessel. In the upper end or head of this cylindrical case or lining is a cavity or recess, D, for the reception of a large block of ice; and at convenient points near the top and sides are smaller cavities or recesses, E, for the reception of smaller pieces of ice. In the top of the case are openings G, which may be provided with stoppers or not, as may be desired. The vessel A is provided with a lid, 0, furnished with hinges or suitable fastening devices. The case or lining B is placed in the vessel A while empty, and is pressed down so as to fit closely in its seat,
as shown. The stock is introduced through the openings G, which may be closed by stoppers, if found desirable. A large block of ice is placed in the large recess 1), being cut or sawed into a shape and size corresponding with that of the recess as near as practicable. The space f between the vessel and lining may then be filled with powdered ice, and small pieces of ice are placed in the recesses E. The lid 0 is then fastened down, resting on the edges of the openings G, or on the stoppers placed therein, so as to hold the lining steadily in place, and the package is ready for transportation.
As the ice melts the drippings pass out through holes h in the bottom of the vessel A, without coming in contact with the contents of the lining, so that said contents are not only kept in a state of preservation by means of the ice, but are entirely isolated therefrom.
When it is desired to take out and use the contents of the vessel its cover is raised and the lining is lifted out.
The removal of the lining, owing to the lat ter being bottomless, leaves the stock in the vessel without any obstacle to its removal in any convenient manner.
The cavity or recess D may have plates or braces e 6 attached to its ends, to prevent the ice from slipping and coming in contact with the vessel A.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, with a pail, cask, or other vessel, of the removable bottomless covered lining provided with one or more external cavities or recesses for holding ice, substantially as herein described.
J. O. J ONES.
