REFRIG 4SPECIFICA'I'ION forming part of Letters ERATOR.
Patent No. 303,608, dated August 19, 1884.
Application filed April 5, 1894. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern.- Be it known that I, N. ROBERT Bann, of
"Lowville, Lewis county, New York, have invented certain Improvement-s in Refrigerators, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is a-refrigerating apparatus intended especially for maintaining beer cool in casks, but adapted for refrigerating other articles; and my invention consists in the construction whereby the water from the melted ice is prevented from coming in contact with the articles to be cooled, while the cold air which passes from the ice is brought into intimate contact with said articles.
My invention also consists in certain details of construction of the apparatus.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is asectional elevation of abeer-refrigerator embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is atransverse section on the line 1 2, Fig. l.
The casing A is of any suitable construction, and is provided with doors B at the front or top, or both, and with ledges a., upon which rests the usual wooden grating, b, affording a support for the blocks of ice. In the lower portion of the casing are suitable shelves, supports, or receptacles for the articles to be cooled, racks b being shown as arranged to support casks I, and between the racks b and the receptacles is arrangedaslatted partition, J, so constructed that the cold air can pass freely downward through the same, while all the drippings from the ice will be collected, the lower series of slats being inclined to the rear to direct these drippings into anarrow trough, K, at the back of the casing, from which apipe, L, conducts them to some suitable point at the outside of the casing. ,This partition J consist-s of Va rectangular frame, d, to which are secured trough-like metal slats c c', having their edges turned at right angles thereto, the upper slats being arranged with their troughlike sides than the width of the lower slats, which are arranged with their'flanges uppermost below the spaces between the upper slats. The cold air from the ice can pass readily downward between the slats to the lower portion of the casing; but the drippings are directed by the flanges of the upper slats, e, to the slats c', which constitute inclined troughs to conduct the Iiuid to the trough K.
downward at a distance apart lessV It will be apparent that a slight bending of any one of the slats would result in defiecting the stream and causing it to pass into the compartment below. To avoid this I connect the upper and lower slats by braces i, of wire or strips of metal, extending in any-suitable direction from the upper to the lower slats, as shown, thereby bracing the whole, so as to form a rigid structure and maintain the slats in their relative positions without interfering withv the passage of the air. The edges of the slats, turned up at right angles thereto to form the troughs, also adds materially to their strength, as the turned-up edges constitute braces which stiff'enthe slats and prevent their lyielding or becoming bent by falling pieces of ice from above.
To avoid the necessity of lining the entire casing, and at the same time prevent the ice or drippings from coming in contact with the sides thereof, sheets m, of metal, are extended from the top of the casing, near the opposite sides thereof, downward to a point above the partition J, and the lower end of each sheet is bent outward, forming a flange, n, which overlaps or projects inward beyond an upright flange, s, upon a plate, t, covering the side bars of the frame d. By this means any moisture or drippings from the ice will pass down the plate m and over the flange a to the plate t, from which it is carried back by the trough K and pipeL to the point of discharge. The moisture is thus prevented from coming in contact with the sides of the casing. The partition J is removable, so that it may be can, when' required,` be readily repaired.
In order to further protect the portion of the casing liable to receive drippings from the ice, I make the trough K by bending up the lower edge of a plate, l?, which is secured to the back of the easing, and extends to or above the grating b.
I claimy 1. The combination, in a refrigerator, of a casing, A, a grating, I, supporting the ice, a slattcd removable partition, plates t upon the sides thereof, and liningplates m, secured tothe sides of the casing and bent inward at the lower edges to form fianges .'a, substantially as set forth.
The combination, in the partition J, of a cleaned as necessary from time to time, and
