Description

UNITED STATES PATENT CFFICE.
ELI s. BITNER, 0F LOOK HAVEN, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN REFRIGERATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 169,078, dated October 26, 1875; application filed March 12, 1875.
To all whom it may 0071667'1-2:
Be it known that I, ELI S. BITNER, of the city of Lock Haven, in the county of Clinton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement on a Refrigerator; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings making a part of this specification, in Which Figure 1 is a perspective view.
My invention consists in the construction and combination of the ice-box, drip-pan, and
drip-tubes, whereby each may be separately and easily Withdrawn from the refrigerator to be cleaned, or for repairs or other purpose, and of the intervention of sponge between drip-pan and ice-box, to prevent sediment from clogging the drip-tube and air from entering the refrigerator by way of the drip-tube.
A is the ice-box secured in the upper part of the casing, and leaving air-spaces between two of its sides and the casing. One or more holes in the bottom of the ice-box aflord passage for the drip. X are openings in two sides of the ice-box. B is a shallow metallic drippan, having spring-hooks yextending upward from it, and claspin g the ice-box through openings 00. These hooks may be separate from the drip-pan and clamp under it, as well as hang on the ice-box. A short outlet-pipe, 2,
depends from and communicates with the orifice in the bottom of the drip-pan. The'outlet-pipe z enters closely, yet removably, the straight and vertical drip-pipe'O, which cxtends closely, but removably, through the bottom of the refrigerator. Between the bottom of the ice-box and the drip-pan, and covering the mouth of the outlet-pipe z, is compressed a piece of sponge, D. It follows that the d rippan B may be removed by pressing it upward and detaching the hooks y from the ice-box, or, when the hooks are separate, by detaching them from its bottom. Thereupon the drippipe may be removed by drawing it upward or even downward through the bottom of the refrigerator. The sponge, saturated with drip, prevents sediment from entering the drip-tube and air from coming up through the driptube into the refrigerator.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the ice-box having openings w, the drip-pan having hooks y and outlet 2, the sponge D, and the drip-pipe 0, all these parts save the ice-box being separable from each other and from the refrigerator, as and for the purposes set forth.
ELI S. BITNER.
