Description

April 25, 1939. 0. K. KOSKI REFRIGERATOR ATTACHMENT Filed Nov. 25, 1957 [nuemor v Q By Aw M 4iiornez/s Oscar K K015i? Patented Apr. 25, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE REFRIGERATOR ATTACHIVHENT Application November 23, 1937, Serial No. 176,135
2 Claims.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in attachments for refrigerators and more particularly to a drier attachment adapted to be applied to conventional types of automatic refrigerators so that the heat from the usual condenser of the refrigerating system can be utilized for drying towels and other items.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an appliance of the character stated which will not interfere with the normal operation of the refrigerator.
Other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of a refrigerator with the appliance thereon.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary rear elevational view of a refrigerator showing the appliance.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the hanger bars.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the slide tubes.
Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 generally refers to a conventional refrigerator of the automatic or mechanical type which as is usual has an opening at the back side thereof so that heat driven by the usual blower fan from the condenser can exhaust to the outside of the box.
In carrying out the present invention, and as is shown in Figure 3, a frame structure made up '5 of the bottom member 6 and side members 'I is provided at the lower and side portions of the ventilating opening 8. A plurality of swingable shutters, each provided with an arm ID is mount ed between the side members I and the arms are connected by a link bar ll, so that by rotating the knob 12 which is on the pintle of one of the shutters 9, all of the shutters can be operated simultaneously.
A pair of rails l3--l4 rise from the side members l| and connect to the back side of the box 5 and. from one of these rails projects one or more rod members I5 onto which the tube or tubes it are slidably disposed. These tubes can have a towel or other item; placed thereon and the tube can then be inserted over the corresponding rod 15 and slid to a position behind 5 the box 5. With the shutters 9 closed, the hot air will be forced to rise upwardly behind the box 5 and of course against the items hung on the tube or tubes 16.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter. 15
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A rack for supporting articles relative to a fan exhaust opening of a mechanical refrigerator comprising a frame structure mounted on a refrigerator and partly surrounding the fan exhaust opening thereof and including a lower panel and vertically arranged panels, shutters pivotally mounted on the vertically arranged panels, means for adjusting the shutters to direct the 25 exhaust from the refrigerator upwardly between the vertically arranged panels, and means carried by one of said vertically arranged panels for supporting articles.
2. A rack for supporting articles relative to a fan exhaust opening of a mechanical refrigerator comprising a frame structure mounted on a refrigerator and partly surrounding the fan exhaust opening thereof and including a lower panel and vertically arranged panels, shutters pivotally mounted on the vertically arranged panels, means for adjusting the shutters to direct the exhaust from the refrigerator upwardly between the vertically arranged panels, a rail extending vertically from one of the vertically arranged panels and secured on the refrigerator, rods including offset portions formed on said rail, and rollers slidably and removably mounted on said rods for supporting articles.
