BEFRIGERATED CABINET.
Application filed April 1a, 1926. Serial R... 102,929.
This invention relates to food cabinets, and more particularly to refrigerated cabinets employed for storing food, soft drinks and the like, which are dispensed at a low temperature.-
Cabinets of the above character are usually constructed with a flat sheet metal top having openings therein to provide access to interior compartments, and removable lids are arranged to project partially within the openings and to rest upon the top, adjacent the openings, to close the compartments from external warm air. With the fiat tops now used for cabinets, foodor liquid which is spilled thereon can be-readily wiped off, but such things are often wiped or flow into the food compartments. When cans of ice cream or other articles are dropped upon the edge of the sheet metal tops ad acent the openings, their conformation is changed such that the lids will not fit tightly thereagainst and, therefore, warm air. will pass into the com 'artments when the lids are in position to c ose the compartments.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a raised beading in the top of. a food cabinet adjacent the openings to prevent food andliquids from flowing into'or being readily wiped into the food compartments.
Another object of my invention is to provide a sheet metal top for food cabinets which is formed with non-deformable seat portions adjacent the openings which lead to the food compartments, so that a tight closure is always assured when the lids are seated over thereagainst.
A further object of my invention is to provide a top for a cabinet which is formed of a single sheet of metal bent to provide headings surrounding openings therein so that no cracks or joints are present in which food or liquid can collect and become insanitary.
Other objects of the invention, more or less incidental or ancillary to the foregoing, will appear in the following description, which sets forth in connection with the ac.- companying drawing a preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure his a to plan view of a four hole-refrigerated foo cabinet having one of the lids removed; and
. and
Figure 2 isa fragmentary sectional view' taken on line 22 of Figure 1, showing the construction of the cabinet medially through two of the food-compartments, one of the v lids being removed. 1
Referring now to the drawings by characters of reference, thecabinet illustrated is formed to provide four food compartments and my invention can be applied to any conventional form of refrigerated food cabinet.- Superposed top wall members 10 and 11 form the upper part of the cabinet structure and are provided with a plurality of circular aligned openings. The lower top wall member 10 isprovided with recesses 12 adjacent each opening, into which the'circular flange 13 of sheet metal sleeves 14 extend and are supported. The sheet metal sleeves 14 are of substantially thesame form and diameter as the openings in the top member 10, roject downwardly into the cabinet, forming food compartments. The upper surface of the top wall member 11 is prothe top member 11 and within each of the recesses 15.- .formed therein. The beadings 17 of the sheet metal c sing top are bent around the filler rings 18, so that they tightly engage the same, and are of such length as to extend around the rings a sufficient distance to prevent relative displacement. It will be understood that the filler ring could be formedof hard wood or strong metal tubing, and also that the shape of the openings and the beading need not necessarily be circular.
It will be seen that the raised headings will prevent any foreign matter, such as ice cream, water, cleaning material and the like. from being readily brushed into the food compartments when the to of the cabinet is wiped off. It will also be seen that the headings project above the surface of the sheet metal casing adjacent each of the food compartment openings and with their reinforcement provide a substantially non-deformable seat for the closure lids 19. The filler rings resting on the top wall will receive blows against the beadings,'so that the shape of the'beadings or seats can not become deformed and allow warm exterior air to pass between the headings and the lids,
tion from such structure, without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scgp e of the appended claim.
hat I claim is:
In a refrigerated food cabinet, a frame having vertically extending compartments therein n at their upper ends, the upper surface 0 said frame being recessed adjacent said openings, a sheet metal top casing formed with openings therein in alignment with the open ends of said compartments, and substantially non-deformable filler members seated in the recess in said frame beneath said sheet metal top casing, the casing adjacent the openings being bent around said filler members to retain them in position.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto afiix my signature.
JOHN R. REPLOGLE.
