A TTDRNEYS Patented July 12, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,475,615 REFRIGERATOR AND AIR CONDITIONER Richard E. flouting, Albany, N. Application October 25, 1943, Serial No. 507,571
' 1 Claim.
attached a fan and motor housing 15. This housing is provided with a front door 18 which may be opened to place the housing It in communication with the refrigerating chamber 20 of the refrigerator l0.
The motor 22 is mounted on a spider 24 attached to the housing 18. The fan 26 which is driven by the motor 22 lies forwardly of the motor 22 and rotates about a horizontal axis within the housing I 6.
Two air outlet ducts 28 are incorporated in the side wall structures of the refrigerator l0 and extend upwardly and have communication at their inner and upper ends with the housing 10. Both ducts 29 extend out through the side wall structures and are open at 30 for the outlet of air from housing 19. A third air outlet duct 32 communicates with the housing 19 and extends upwardly therefrom and is fanned at 30 to discharge cold air upwardly and outwardly from the top wall structure of the refrigerator. It will therefore be seen that the fan housing has three alroutlets.
When the fan is in operation air is drawn into the refrigerating chamber 20 through an inlet duct 38 extending through one side wall structure. This duct is provided with a screen II and a cover 90 foropening and closing the duct. A screen covered air inlet opening 42 is also provided in the rear of the housing 19. In operation, room air is drawn into the chamber 20 by opening the door 40 and setting the fan a in operation. Since the interior of the chamber is cold and the refrigeration apimfltus of the refrigerator has a coolinl effect on all air admitted thereto, not only the air already, in
'The door I8 is is cooled. This cooled air is drawn into the fan housing by the fan. An additional supply of air is also drawn into the fan housing through the opening 42. Air admitted to thefan housing is discharged by the fan through the three ducts 28, 28 and 32. The refrigerator operates in a-normal manner when doors l8 and 40 are closed. pivoted at 44 and normally rests in. closing position on a supporting bracket 46. The door 40 is pivoted at and maybe secured in its closed position by a wing nut 50.
Without further elaboration, the foregoing so fully explain my by applying current knowledge, readily adapt the same for use under various conditions of service.
Iciaim:
In a refrigerator having a chamber provided municating with the outside atmosphere through the wall of the refrigerator, a door on said housing adapted to seal said housing from said chamher during normal operation of said refrigerator,
an air inlet duct placing the chamber in communication with the atmosphere and having a door to control admission of air thereto, a pluraiity of air outlet ducts from the fan housing to the atmosphere, certain of which pass downwardly and outwardly through the side walls of. the refrigerator and another through the top, the outlet duct at the top being fanned throughout the greater width of the top, and a motor driven fan in the fan housing.
