JAMES C. BOWEN, OF MANDARIN, FLORIDA.
IMPROVEMENT lN REFRIGERATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 221,77l, dated November 18, 1879; application filed July 2, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES C. BOWEN, of Mandarin, in the county of Duval and State of Florida, have invented a new and useful Improvement iii-Refrigerators, of which the following is a specification.
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the refrigerator, taken through the line 00 a, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same, the top being broken away to show the construction.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved refrigerator for shipping strawberries and other perishable fruits, which shall be simple in construction and convenient and ell'ective in use, and which shall be so constructed that pieces of ice cannot be jarred out of the ice-box to, fall upon the fruit, that the waste-pipe cannot become clogged, and that will compel the cold air to pass beneath the crates, as hereinafter fully described.
The invention consists in a refrigerator whose inner wall is beveled at the lower end,
and which is provided with bottom cleats and vertical posts, the whole combined to prevent the crates from interfering with the aircirculation, as hereinafter described.
A represents the case of the refrigerator, which is designed to he made with double walls, and to have paper or other suitable nonconducting material placed in the spaces be twcen the said walls.
B is the ice-chamber,\vl1ich is lined with zinc, extends nearly to the bottom of the refrigerator, and ismade with an offset into the The inner wall of the ice-chamber B does not extend quite to the top of the refrigerator, a space, D, being left for the passage of warm air from the store-room G into the said ice-chamber B to be cooled. To the wall of the ice-chamber B, and to the top of the refrigerator A, is attached a strip, E, of wire-gauze, to cover the space I) and prevent any pieces of ice from falling or being jarred or shaken into the storeroom 0. The bottom of the ice-chamber B is open, and in it is placed a grate, F, for the ice to rest upon, and which is supported from the bottom of the refrigerator A, so that the cold air from the ice-chamber B can pass freely from the said ice-chamber B to the lower part of the store-room. The lower part of the outer or store-room side of the inner wall of the icechamber B is inclined or beveled, as shownin Fig. 1, so that the cold air can readily pass in beneath the crates placed in the said storeroom.
To the bottom of the store-room G are attached cleats G for the lower tier of crates to stand upon, so that the cold air can pass in beneath their bottoms.
To the bottom of the refrigerator A, and to the lower part of the inner wall of the icechamber B, are attached posts H, to support the said ice-chamber and to prevent the lower crates from sliding in beneath the said icechamber.
To the bottom of the refrigerator A, be neath the bottom of the icechainber F, is attached a large pan, I, to receive the water as it drips from the melting ice.
In the middle part of the drip-pan I is formed an opening, and in a recess in the bottom of the refrigerator A is formed a recess to re ceive a small drip-pan, J, which is covered with a perforated cover or grate, K, to prevent any rubbish from getting into the small pan J and clogging its discharge-orifice.
With a discharge-orifice in the bottom of the small pan J is connected the end of the waste pipe L, which is bent so as to form a trap, to prevent any air from entering the refrigerator through the said waste-pipe L.
The top of the refrigerator is provided with two doors, a, to give access to the ice-chamber B and to the store-room 0.
Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, in a refrigerator, of the inner wall, B, beveled at the lower end, the bottom cleats, G, and the vertical posts H, to prevent the crates from interfering with the air-circulation, as set forth.
JAMES OOLMAN BOWEN.
