I UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1,973,291 LIQUID COOLER Frank W. Moore, Lennon, Mich. Application June 20, 1933, Serial No. 676,741 9 Claims. 01. 257- 14) This invention relates to an improved liquid cooler'and seeks, among other objects, to provide a device of this character which will efiectually retain liquid carried in a can utilized with the .1 device at a low temperature.
Another object of the invention is to'provide a liquid cooler utilizing both water and air for the cooling operation and being adapted to cool: the liquid from both the interior and exterior of I the can carrying said liquid.
A further object of the invention is to provide a liquid cooler which will be light in weight, and therefore easily portable so that a liquid to be cooled, such as for instance milk, may be cooled in close proximity to the source of production.
' A further object of the invention is toprovide a liquid cooler which may be utilized with an ordinary milk shipping can without the necessity of making alterations in said can, the device being readily removable from one can and insertible into another can with the utilization of a minimum amount of effort.
A further object of the invention is to provide a liquid cooler employing dual means for cooling:
the liquid carried in the container.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character wherein the liquid motor employed will effectually agitate the liquid carried in the container so that uniform cooling of said liquid may be efiected.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a liquid cooler employing a spray which is adapted to direct cold water against the wall of the container carrying the liquid to be cooled so that said wall may be effectually cooled irrespec-' tive of whether said container be partially submerged in a body of water or mounted clear of the body of water.
A still further object of the invention is provide a liquid cooler which will be rugged and highly durable in construction and highly efiicient in use, and wherein the parts employed will.
be of such nature that if replacement should be necessary, such replacement may be made with the utmost facility.
And a still further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which will per- ;mit the passage of a relatively largevolume of air over and into the liquid in the container.
Other and incidental objects of the invention,
-not hereinbefore enumerated, will be apparent as the description of the invention proceeds.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view showing my device installed on a milk can,
Figure-Zis a horizontal sectional view taken' on the line 2-2of Figure l and looking in the direction indicated by the arrows, and
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view takenon the line 3-3 of Figure l and looking in the di-- rection indicated by the arrows.
Referring now more particularly to thel'accompanying drawings wherein like numerals of reference designate like parts throughout the several views, the numeral 1 indicates a container which is preferably the usual milk can used for shipping milk. The can is provided at its upper end with a neck 2 terminating in an outwardly flared mouth 3.
My improved liquid cooler includes a frame which is indicated in general by the numeral 4. The frame comprises a circular top wall 5 which is of a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the container 1 at its greatest portion, the diameter of said top wall being, in any event, of greater diameter than the upper extremity of the mouth 3. The top wall 5 is formed with radial reenforcing beads 5'. As seen at 6 in Figure 1, the outer edge of the top wall 5 is turned downwardly to define a vertical annular wall '7' which terminates at its lower end in a bead 8 which provides a smooth lower edge for said wall. Carried by the frame 4 and disposed adjacent the wall 7 and the outer margin of the top wall 5 is a spray pipe 9 which is circular in cross section and extends throughout the circumference of the frame. The spray pipe is provided with discharge openings l0'which are arranged in a circumferentially disposed closely spaced series, and,'as seen in Figure 1, the openings are directed slightly inwardly so that a liquid carried in the pipe and passing through said openings will be directed. toward the curved portion of the container 1 toflow uniformly down theouter wall thereof.
Soldered, welded,'or otherwise secured to the top wall 5 is a cylindrical tube 11 which is provided medially of its height with an outwardly projecting rib 12 which is hemispherical in cross. section. Formed in the wall of the tube 11 at the rib and projecting slightly thereabove is a series of circumferentially disposed spaced intake openings 13. As best seen in Figure 1, when the device is in position in a can, the rib 12 will engage the neck of the container at the junction of said neck, and the mouth 3 so that the frame will be efiectually mounted in position within the neck of the container. The'tube 11 is slightly spaced from the neck 2 so that ready insertion of the tube within the neck may be eifected.
Mounted concentrically with respect to the tube 11 and opening through the top wall 5 is a cylindrical air tube 14 which is provided with an outwardly directed flange 15, which flange 15 is soldered or otherwise secured to the upper surface otthe margin of the top wall 5. The air tube 14 is of. a length slightly greater than that of the tube 11 so that said tubes 11 and 14 have their lower end edges terminating in a common horizontal plane. The tubes 11 and 14 will cooperate to form an intake air jacket be: tween said tubes and a discharge flue within the air tube 14. V
Mounted in parallel spaced relation to the frame 4 and having its axis common with the axis of the circular top wall 5 is a liquid motor which is indicated in general by the numeral 16. The motor comprises a casing 17 which is closed at its upper surface by a top wall 18. The motor is supported in parallel spaced relation above the frame by means of preferably three legs 19 which may be cast integral with the casing 17 or may be bolted thereto. Screws'ZO, extendlngthrough the top wall 5 of the frame and into said legs 19 serve rigidly to connect the casingwith the frame. Formed on the bottom 1: wall of the frame 17 is a bearing 21 which ex-- tends upwardly throughout substantially half the height ofthe casing 17; The rotor of the liquid motor is indicated in general by the numeral '22 and is rotatably mounted upon a shaft 23 which is journaled in the bearing 21 of the casing. The rotoris provided-with a series of radially extending plates 24 which terminate in arcuateend portions 25. The motor is seicured to the shaft 23 by means of a set screw 26, and the plates of said rotor are of a height to extend throughout the major portion of the height'of'the casing 17. Formed on the casing 1.7 and disposed tangentially thereto is an in-- take pipe 27 which. has a restricted nozzle 28 screwed therein. The intake pipe 2'7 is threaded to receive the end portion of a hose 29 which may,
be a common garden hose, if desired. Arranged tangentially of the casing 17 and disposed at right angles with respect to the intake pipe 2'7 is a 1 discharge pipe 30*which has a sleeve 31 screwed therein. The sleeve 31 is adapted to receive the end portion of a length of a sectional hose 32,
the other end of said hose being adapted to connect with the pipe 9 through the top wall 5 of ;the frame i. 'A copper tube may be utilized in lieu of the hose, if desired.
' Fixed to the shaft 23 near its lowerend is a cooling fan 33 which is formed with a number of blades 34:. The cooling fan isrllsposed to rotate: freely withinthe air tube 1%, near its upper end, with the portions of the blades of said fan disposed in close spaced relation to the wall of said tube 14. As best seen in Figure 1, the lower end of the shaft 23 is provided with an internally threaded bore 35 and screwed into said bore is the upper end of a relatively long stern 36 which is adapted, in operation, to extend downwardly and axially of the container 1."
Carried at the lower end of the stem 36 is an qa'gitator 37 having preferably two blades.
In use, after the device has been installed upon a containensuch as the container 1, which is full of a liquid, andthe hose has been connected, the water is turned on and said water will flow through the nozzle 28 against the end portions 25 of the plates 24 of the rotor, thus causing rotation of said rotor and consequent rotation of the cooling fan 33 and agitator 37. The water will pass through the hose section 32 into the pipe 9 and will be passed through the discharge open ings 10 thereof, and will flow downwardly against the wall of the container 1 for cooling the exterior thereof. Rotation of the fan, at the same time, will draw air largely through the wall of water descending throughthe' discharge openings 10, through the openings 13 and through the jacket defined between the tubes 11 and 14 into the container to circulate above the contents thereof. As
V moist so that a much more thorough cooling operation will beeifected. The cooling fan 33 will -maintain acirculation of the moist air above the liquid so that a continual flow of air will pass into the container. Simultaneously with the rotation of the fan, the agitator will maintain the liquid inthe container in circulation'sothat said liquid will beauniformly. cooled. It will be seen that the single flow of water passing into the casing 1'7 serves a dual function in'that it not only rotates the rotor of the motor 16 but also provides a supply of water forthe pipe 10 for cooling the" exterior of the'container. Therefore, the'contain er contents will be effectually cooled interiorly and from the exterior. I
The only part of my device which comes in contact with the liquid in the container is the agita tor stem 36 with'the'agitator 3*l'thereon. The stem andagitator are readily removable from the shaft 23 so that thorough sterilization of said stem and agitator may be effected before inserting into the container.. The entire device is of) such construction, furthermore, that it may be readily sterilizedwhen desired. In view of 'the' ready por-. tabilityof the device it may be very easily moved from one container to another so that the con--- tents of a number of containers may be cooled with theuse-of but a single machine. Furthermore, the machine may be utilized immediately after the containerhas been filledwith liquid so that the liquid will be retained in a highly sanitary condition andwill not be permitted to absorb odors within the building.
, If desired, the water flowing from the discharge openings 10 may pass into a trough and be pumped back into the source of supply to be used again in the cooling'toperation so that waste of water will not take place.
a While I have shown the frame and motor casing as being separate elements, it should be understood that they may be cast as a single piece of material, if desired. It should also be. understood that, if desired, all parts, with the exception of the fan and rotor, may be cast as a single unit. I
It is believed that I have provided a device of this character which will be highly efficient, easily transportable from place to place, and highly durable so that itm'ay be used over long periods of time without attention. 1
