.TEMARKSY REFRIGrERAl'OBIl No. 278.158. Patented' May 22,;1883.
UNITED STATES 'PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS MARKS, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
REFRIGERATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,158, dated May 22, 1883.
Application tiled June 17, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, THOMAS H. MARKS, of Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Refrigerators; and l hereby vdeclare the same to be fully, clearly, and exactly described as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal sectional view, ot' the device.
My present invention relates to household refrigerators,and is in the nature of an improvement upon the invention for which Let-- ters Patent were granted me December 30, 187),No.223,l55; and mysaidinvention relates in particular to the construction and arrangementoftheice-box; anditconsists,essentially, in lining the walls of the same with a series of vertical pieces of wood placed side b v side, and having curved inner faces and vertical longitudinal pertbrations, which form pipes opening below into the storage-'chamber and leading to the top of the ice-box. VWood is used, as it is a practical non-conductor, and the ascending currents of air are not cooled until they enter the ice-box. This secures an important advantage, as sweating 011 the interior of the pipes andineident dripping back of moisture are prevented.
1n the drawings, A is the ice-box, having a downwardly-pitched bottom,from which a pipe leads to a drip-vessel, O, by preference within the refrigerator, though it may be below it.
G isan isolated storage-chamber for the rcception of fruits and other articles which do not require a very low temperature, and which by their odors would contaminate milk, cream, or butter. F F are racks for sustaining dishes, and B is a drinking-water tank, having an outside cock, b. A similar cock, c, is provided :for drawing oft' the drip. y
From the ice-box A a chute, F, leads to the base of the storage-chamber. Bars a a, having curved inner faces to sustain the ice out ,consequence takes up moisture.
of contact with them as far as possible, line the ice-box except on the side of the watertank B, and they are provided with perforations d, which register with holes D in the bottom of the ice-box. Thecurrentsofair take thedirection shown by the arrows, descending through the chute E into the main storage chamber, and rising through the holes d to the top ot' the ice-box. chamber the air becomes warmer, and in Were the pipes or bars a colder than the ascending currents, this moisture would condense on their inner walls and drip back into the storagechamber; but by my construction any cooling in transit is prevented, and the condensation takes place in the icebox itself. The advantage attendng this feature is obvious.
.Having thus described my invention, what I claim 'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The ice-box A, having its inner surfaces formed of strips or blocks of wood a., placed perpendicularly side by side, each of them heing provided with perforatious extending the entire length thereof, as and for the purpose set forth. y
,2. The ice-box having inclined bottom,sides composed of vertical stri ps of wood perforated lougitl'ldinally and having curved inner faces, the water-tank B, and outlet E, all combined and arranged assett'orth.
3. The refrigerator herein described, consisting of the ice-box A, having inclined bottom, and lined on three sides with longitudiually-perfora-ted curved front bars., a., the water-tank located on the fourth side, the main storage-chamber, and the auxiliary storagechamber located above the. main one, the water-tank and storage-chamber being provided with suitable cocks, as and for the purposes set forth.
