,SOYDA- WATER-IDISPENSING APPARATUS-f" I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 381,027, dated April 10,188

Application filed April 2, 1887.. Serial No.233,355. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: 7 1

Be it known that I, ORRIN J. PRICE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, 5 have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soda-Water Dispensing Apparatus; and I'do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it .appertains to-make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

r 5 My invention relates to an apparatus forv dispensing soda-water and the like. The object of my invention is to construct an apparatus for dispensing soda-water and like charged fluids that will be simple in its construction, durable, and cheap.

Theimproved features of the apparatus have reference particularly to the construction of the I front of the device,whereby thesirup-cans are each provided with afaucet and are attached to the inner face of the doors, so as toswing outward with said doors when opened, to aid in filling said cans with siru p, and when the doors are closed the sirup-cans are projected into a made detachable, so as to remove them from the doors for the purpose of cleaning or filling them; and my inventionconsists in the construction of parts, as hereinafterfully specified, and indicated particularlydn the claims. In the accompanying drawings, (shown on two sheets,) forming a part of the specification, Figure 1 is a perspective of my improved apparatus having the end broken away to show internal perforated partition. Fig. 2 is a perspectiveshowing one. of the doors as opened with sirup-cans attached thereto. Fig.

3 is an enlarged section of one of the doors and a sirup-can,taken on dotted lines of Figs. 2 and 4. Fig. 4is a perspective of one of the Fig; 5 is a front sirup-cans and its faucet.

Fig. 6 is a face view of one of the doors.

back face View of one of the doors.

A. in the drawings represents the case of the apparatus; 0, the common draft-tube; B, the 5 front base-rail; D D, the front doors.

P is an L-shaped partition'located in the is provided witha series of holes or perfora- .stem-on a horizontalplane slightly, above'the .under edge of the doors D when a can is-at .tached'to the door, as shown in Fig. 3. i I atcooling-chamber, and said sirupcans are apparatus, dividing informing the chambers F and E, extending from end to end of the case. The Chamber'F is for the ice and circulatingpipes. The vertical portion of the partition tions, a, to allow the 'cold'air to pass intothe chamber E to properly cool the sirup in the sirup-cans located in said chamber. t Z represents the sirup-cans, each being provided with a faucet, f, at the bottom to draw the sirup from each can as desired, allow-i ing the cans to stand in the chamber Eand to I have the doors D closed, as shown in Fig. 1.

The cans Z are attached to the back face of the 'doors D and swing on said doors when opening and closing them, asshownin Fig. 2. Each can has a faucet, f,vwith a square shank, I e d, and a triangular collar, (See Fig. 4.) In

the bottom edge of each door D, I forn a notch, Q d, to receive the square stem d of the faucet,

as shown inFigs. 3 and'5. ,.The notches d are made deep enough to receive freely the stems d and to bring the lower edge or face of, each tach to the upper edge of each door a projecting bar, t, andto the bottom edge ofefach door a like bar, 0, excepting. Iformthe arms a a 80 longer than the arms of the upper bar, as clearlyshown in Figs. 3-and 6. To the upper end of each can, at the front, I attach a hook, c, which engages with the bar t, supporting the can, as clearly shown inIFigs. 2, '3, and 4. r

K K are knobs attached to .the swinging ends of the doors, having the turn-buttons 'v v attached to the inner'ends. Said buttons or arms o engage with the back face of the barR in the front'of the case,wherebysaid doors are kept closed. This is an old feature; 7 p

The cans are attached to a door'in the'fol v lowing manner,(the (1005 being open, as shown I at the left of Fig. 2:), By placing the front of; a can facing the back of the door, then raising 5' the can slightly, bringing the neck d of its faucet into the notch d at the bottom .of the door, with the collar '6 against the front of the 1 door, then engaging the hook c with the bar t, the 'can will be securely attached, as shown in Figs.2and3. y l

Ittwill be observedron looking,at-Fig. 3.

f is thrown down.

that by making the arms a of the bar 0 longer than the arms of the upper bar, 12, the cans Z are secured to the back face of the door on a slant, the bottom edge of each can being at a greater distance from the back face of the door than the top, whereby the bottom H of each can is inclined and the free end of the faucet This is to allow the sirup to be entirely drawn from the can.

To remove a can from the door, itis first raised slightly to release the hook c from the bar t. stem (1 of the faucet to slide out of the notch d ofthe door, when the can will be detached.

In Fig. 2 I show the cans attached to the free or swinging ends of the doors, with a rounded face at n. This is to allow the doors to be freely closed and opened and not allow the can of one door to strike the can of the other or the bar R; but when using round cans they are formed alike. Square cans are preferable, as they give a broad bearing on the bar 0, holding the can steady.

When the doors are closed, the cans are held in the cooling-chamber E, the sirup being drawn through the faucets f, and said doors are only opened to fill the sirup-cans.

Having fully set forth my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters 0 Patent, is

Then it is slightly lowered to allow the 2. In a device for the purposes specified, the combination of the case having the perforated Lshaped partition, the doors hinged to the front of the case, having the notches or inlets at the bottom, and the cans having faucets the necks of which fill the openings at the bottom of the doors, said cans being attached to the back face of the doors, the faucets projecting through the doors, and with the cans swlng on said doors when opening and closing them, as and for the purposes specified.

3. In a device as set forth, the combination of the case, having the swinging door at the front opening into the cooling-chamber, and a vessel having a faucet attached at the bottom thereof, said vessel being attached to the back face of the door in such a manner as to pro ect the faucet through the bottom of the door, the faucet and the can standing on an incline, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4. In an apparatus as set forth, the combination of the case, having adoor opening 1nto a chamber at the front, the opening d at the bottom of said door, and the detachable can having a faucet made fast thereto, said can and faucet being mounted on the door in an inclined position, as and for the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
