VILLIAM C. SWEET, OF4 S'CHENECTADY, NEW YORK.
REFRIGERATOR.'
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,667, dated January 4, 1887..
Application filed March 16,1886. Serial No. 195,389. (No modul.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM CL SWEET, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Schenectady, in the county of Schenectady and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Refrigerator,or Apparat-us for Preserving Meats, 85e., of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to refrigerators; and it consists, first, in the combination,wit h arefrigerator having way or guide strips, of an ice-receptacle having rollers to travel thereon and a liexible pipe connecting the ice-receptacle with an eduction tube or opening i n the refrigerator; and,secondly,in a refrigerator coniprising a casing and a lining of light porous wood, arranged to leave a space between them, and a filling consisting of salt, lime, and sawdust in said space.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of my refrigerator, and Fig. 2 a horizontal section. j
Similar letters refer to similar parts in each view.
To the bottom of the ice box or receptacle A are fastened the rollers B B,two at each end, which run upon the tracks or ledges C C,fast ened to the sides of the refrigerator. From the bottom of theice-box at D extends ashort metal tube,over the lower end of which ts the iexible tube E, for carrying off the waste Water. By this arrangement the ice-box can be readily moved from one end of the refrigerator to the other, giving great convenience in the storing of articles underneath it,and it can also be easily taken out of the refrigerator for cleansing. In cold Weather, when ice is not needed,it can be left outentirely. The shelves,
.which are movable, rest upon ledges or cleats fastened to the sides,` and can be readily adjusted so as to suit the size and number of the articles to be stored.
The sides, top, and bottom of the refrigerator consist ofthe casing F, the lining G, and the space H between the two, tlled with a composition composed of sawdust, salt, and lime, mixed in the following proportions, viz: In
one barrel of sawdust l thoroughly mix four quarts of salt and four quarts of lime. The
salt and lime may either be dissolved inwater and the solution mixed with the sawdust, or y they may be mixed in a dry state.
I have no metal lining in my refrigerator,
'and there is no col'nmunication with the external air. The composition, acting through the lining G, which is made of light porous wood, absorbs the moisture and impurities 1n the air, and causes it to remain dry and whole-v VILLlAM C. SWEET,
