UNITED STATES JOSEPH M. JACKSON, OF ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI.
REFRIGERATOR.
Application filed August 17, 1926. Serial No. 129,843.
This invention has reference to refrigerators and aims to provide an attachment of a novel construction wherein. the water caused by the melting ice, may be circulated throughout the food compartment of the refrigerator to further aid in maintaining the food compartment in a cooled state.
Another object is to provide a device of this character which may be readily and easily positioned in the usual refrigerator construction now in use, eliminating the necessity of making alterations in the refrigerator construction.
lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is an elevational viev disclosing a device constructed in accordance with the invention, and showing the same as positioned in a refrigerator.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the receiving tank.
Figure 4 is an elevational view of the attachment disclosing the cover of the coil housing as removed.
Figure is a sectional view taken on line 5 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a plan view of the coil housing.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference character 5 designates the body portion or pipe housing of the attachment which has its lower edge bent outwardly and upwardly as at 6 to accommodate a portion of the cover 7, therebehind.
The cover is provided with hook members 8 adapted to overlie portions of the upper extremity of the pipe housing 5 as shown by Figure 5 of the drawings so that when the cover is positioned behind the flange 6, the hook members 8 will secure the cover against movement.
Disposed within the housing 5 is a length of pipe indicated at 9 which is formed into a plurality of looped portions, disposed in parallel relation with each other, one end of the length of pipe extending upwardly as at 11 while the opposite end thereof extends downwardly as at 12 to discharge fluid into the receiving pan 13 which is positioned under the extension 12.
The upper end of the coil 9 has communication with the tank 14 which in turn has communication with the usual ice compartment of a refrigerator, as through the pipe 15. A funnel 16 is positioned on the upper end of the pipe 15 to receive the fluid from the ice pan.
This tank 14; has a cover 17 by means of which the tank may be opened to permit of the same being cleaned. A suitable guard indicated at 18 is positioned in the tank, and may include wire mesh material to catch foreign matter and prevent the same from passing into the pipe 9.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to this construction the cold water caused by the melting of the ice, is circulated through the ice box to further cool the food compartments thereof.
In the use of the device it is contemplated to posit-ion a device of this character within the ice box, the rear wall of the housing 5 resting against the rear wall of the refrigerator. It might be further stated that when the usual removable shelves are positioned in the food compartments, they will act as guards to prevent the device from tilting forward.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
An attachment for use in connection with refrigerators, including a pipe to receive the drain from the ice in the ice compartment of the refrigerator, a tank at the lower end of the pipe, a guard in the tank to prevent foreign matter from. passing through the tank, a housing resting on the floor of the refrigerator and having a hinged closure, a pipe coil in the housing, a pipe leading from the tank and connected with the coil to direct water to the coil, and one end of the coil providing a drain pipe.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature.
JOSEPH M. JACKSON.
