Description
mante aflknwzq July 1, 1930. H. T. CHAMBERLIH REFRIGERATING APPARATdS Filed Oct. 26, 1927 Patented July 1, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HARRY T. GHAMBERLIN, OF DAYTON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO FRIGIDAIRE CORPORATION, A. CORPORATION OF DELAWARE REFRIGERATING APPARATUS Application filed October 26, 1927. Serial No. 228,926.
This invention relates to refrigerating apparatus and particularly to apparatus for storing and cooling bottled goods. v It is among the objects of this invention to provide a compact and convenient rack for storing bottles, to provide improved means for cooling a supply of bottles, and to provide an improved convenient arrangement of bottles in a refrigerating cabinet wiiprein all of the bottles are readily accessi e.
More specifically it is an object of the invention to provide a combined supporting rack and refrigerating apparatus for bottled goods, which will afford maximum storage capacity within a given amount of space and which will at the same time efficiently cool bottles stored therein.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, wherein a preferred form of'the present invention is clearly shown.
In the drawings Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a bottle cabinet constructed in accordance with the present invention showing the door open;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig; 1; and
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
In accordance with my invention I provide a rack for storing bottles which preferably consists of a number of vertical pipes 10 arranged to form supports for rows of bottles 11. These pipes are firmly supported in a vertical position, preferably by being attached at their upper ends to a tank or header 12 which may form a reservoir for liquid refrigerant. The pipes may be in the form of U-shaped' loop-s as shown in Fig. 2, each end of each loop being attached to the tank. The pipes are spaced along the tank at the proper intervals to receive rows of bottles as shown in Figs. 1 and3 and serve as means for cooling the bottles in addition to supportin them. Refrigerant is circulated through the pipes from the tank 12.
Preferably. a volatile liquid refrigerant 'is used, liquid refrigerant being supplied to the tank by a pipe 13, and gaseous refrigerant being withdrawn from the tank by a pipe 14, both connected to any suitable refrigerating apparatus not shown.
In order to increase the strength of the rack as well as to provide for more efficient cooling of the bottles, a metal plate 15 (Figs. 2 and 3) is soldered to each loop of tubing connected to the header and the bottles are supported between and cooled by the plates. Preferably adjacent plates are connected at the top and bottom by cross-plates 16, pairs of plates 15 and 16 forming a sleeve or enclosure for a row of bottles. This sleeve may be closed at the back if desired and preferably all sleeves in a rack are closed by being soldered to a back plate 17. The arrangement of the sleeves is advantageous in'that sleeves 20 may be attached to the ends of the rack by soldering one side of the sleeve to the end tubes of the rack, and by this means two additional rows of bottles can be supported without providing additional circulating pipes.
The rack as above constructed is preferably placed in a refrigerating cabinet 21 having a storage compartment 22 and a machine compartment 23, the latter being adapted to contain the refrigeratin apparatus for supplying refrigerant to t e tank 12. Access to the storage compartment may be had through the door 24. It will be ob served that the rack supports the bottles so that all of them are simultaneously accessible from the door opening. It is contemplated that each sleeve may be used to contain a separate material or flavor. However, when it is desired to keep only a small quantity of a given flavor in the cabinet, one or more sleeves may be subdivided by shelves 25 in order that a given sleeve may be used to contain several flavors, and yet have each one readily accessible.
While the form of embodiment of the invention as herein disclosed, constitutes a preferred form, it is to be understood that other forms might be adopted, all coming within 2 measee 1. Refrigerating apparatus including a header forming a reservoir for liquid refrigerant, and a tubular rack for supporting bottles, the tubes being connected to the- 5 header for circulating refrigerant through the rack, a metallic enclosure for a row of bottles between adjacent tubes, said enclosure being in intimate thermal contact with the tubes.
2. Refrigerating apparatus including in combination a cabinet having a door, a header forming a reservoir for liquid refrigerant, a tubular rack for supporting bottles, the tubes of the rack being connected to the header for circulating refrigerant and an enclosure for a row of bottles between adj acent rows of tubes, said enclosure being arranged to render all bottles simultaneously accessible from the door and being in intimate thermal contact with the tubes.
3. Refrigerating apparatus including a header forming a reservoir for liquid refrigerant, a tubular rack for supporting bottles, the tubes being connected to the header for circulating refrigerant through the rack, a plurality of metallic sleeves for rows of bottles between pairs of adjacent tubes, said sleeves being in intimate thermal contact with the tubes, and a single back plate closing one end of all of the sleeves.
4:. Refrigerating apparatus comprising a bottle rack having upright tubular supports for vertical rows of bottles, a thermally conducting enclosure for a vertical row of bottles between adjacent tubes, said enclosure being in intimate thermal contact with the tubes, and means for supplying refrigerant to the tubes for cooling the bottles.
In testimony whereof I hereto afix my signature.
HARRY T. CBERLIN.
