i PATENT ErIcEo PETER BEAUF, OF MASSILLON, OHIO.
REFRIGERATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,543, dated December 26, 1882.
Application filed Novcmber. 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may cartelera.-v
Be itknown that I, PETER SHAUF, a citizen of theUnited States of America, residing at Massillon, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Refrigerators, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to refrigerators pro vided with upper and lower chambers; and the objects of my improvements are, tirst, to secure auniform circulation of air within the chambers; second, to obtain a filling for the walls that will not mold or sweat; third, to afford facilities for the placing of a tlled keg within the refrigerator and retain it in position at any desired angle. l attain these objects by the construct-ion illustrated inthe aerompanying drawings, in which- V Figure l is a vertical section of a refrigerator cut from back to front. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the refrigerator cut from side to side. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ot' a beerkeg attached to its carriage and carried upon a slanting frame.
Similarletters refer to similar partsth roughout the several views.
The refrigerator contains an upper chamber, A, and a lower chamber, B, communicating together, as hereinafter stated. rlfhe chamber A has a door, u, hinged to the front part of the refrigerator to close the opening through which a block ofice, C, and other substances may be introduced into said chamber. The chamber B has a door, b; to close an openingiu front of the refrigerator, of such size that a beer-keg, D, can be introduced. therein. The door is provided with a sliding panel, b2, to close the opening required for the passage of the keg-faucet (I, the lower end of said panel being'notched to fit around said faucet, and thus prevent the escape of cold airfrom the bottom ofchamber B.
To render the walls of the refrigerator nonconductors of the warm air surrounding them, and prevent them becoming damp from the melting of the ice, these walls are made of an outer case, E, of Wood. This is lined on the inside with two layers of cardlboard, E', and
wide, that is filled with a packing ofl excel- G. withir the walls of the cover and. enters the chamber A through the opening g', made in the ceiling of said chamber. To prevent the air admitted through this opening g' from coming in direct contact with the block of ice O at a central point upon its surface, causing a cavity t0 be formed and an accumulation ot' wat-er therein from the melting ice that would rapidly waste the latter, there is suspended from the ceiling in the chamber A, opposite the opening g', the plate H, to deiiect' thev current of air from the center of thischamber, causing the'block of ice first to melt around its upper edges, and thuslast much longer than when its interior is permeated by currents of air and water. The greater portion ofthe floor of the upper chamber is made of slats I; but I prefer to make solid that portieri l2 of the floor adjoining the flue or lines G to facilitate the circulation of air through the chambers, and for the same purpose l provide the chamber B with a hood, 13, in frontof the flue-openings g, to direct the air that absorbed the caloric from the beer-keg up the tlue G to the cooling-chamber A. To renew the air,or bring fresh air from the outside of the refrigerator into the interior thereof, there is in its top, between the card-board E and' the inner lining, E?, a. passage, G2, having at its outer end an opening, g2., that is controlled at will by a slide, g3,in the upper part of the front or ofthe rear'ot'the refrigerator.
The frame supporting the beer-keg is made of two side pieces or ways, K, having one endA resting upon a horizontal bar, L, lying u pou the floor of the chamber B, and the other end upon a cleat, L', secured to the rear side of the refrigerator at such a .height as to cause the roo `the keg received upon the carriage.
received in or withdrawn from the refrigerator. The top of the carriage M is made concave to steady the keg thereupon, and the surface ot' this concave portion is rounded to permit the 'ront of the keg to be raised or depressedat any desired angle. 'Io prevent the keg being detached from the carriage M in withdrawing the keg there is secured to the under side of said carriage one end of a strap, n, having buckled to its other end a hook, n', adapted to engage with the keg-chine (l2. Ihehooku bcing buckled to the strap, the length ot' said strap can be regulated according to the size of To prevent the keg and its carriage from sliding` forward when in position there is pivoted, at p, to the inside of the ways K, the linger or fingers 'q, having theirv free ends preferably curved or forked to engage with the chine ot' the keg, and at the same time preventits fore end from dropping too low, and thereby relic-ving the faucet from the weight ot' the keg.
I am aware that prior to my invention various devices for securing a circulation ot' air in ret'iigerators and various non-conducting materials have been used for packing the sides thereof, together With mechanical means for adjustingthe position ot'beer-kegs within them, and I do not claim these devices, broadly.
What I claim as my invention isl. In a refrigerator havingtheice-chamber A above the cooling-chamber B, the Walls composed ot' an outer Wood casing, E, a card-board lining, F/a packing ot' excelsior or tine curly wood shavings, F, and an inner Wood lining, E2, with the air-flue G2, formed Within said packing, the ceiling ofthe upper chamber provided with the opening` g and the air-deflecting plate H, pendent therefrom, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination, in a refrigerator, of an upper chamber, A, a lower chamber, B, thc walls thereof packed with ne y curly wood shavings F, and having air-lines G and G therein, with the air-deecting plate H pendent from the ceiling ot' the upper chamber, and the hood 13 projecting from the ceiling of the lower chamber, substantially as and for theA purpose described.
3. The combination ot' the lower chamber ct1 a refrigerator, and the inclined Ways Ktherein, with the strap n, secured to the keg-carriage, and hook a', attached to said strap, substantially as and for the purpose described.
4L. The combination of the lower chamber of a refrigerator, the inclined Waystherein, and the linger q, pivoted to the latter, with the kegcarriage, the strap a, secured at one end thereto, and the hook n', attached to said strap,sub stantially as and for the purpose described.
