tlnuTnn STATES EaTrnT @imma JAMES C. SLOAN, OF CAMDEN, NEV JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-COOLEPLS.
Specification forming part ot' Letters Patent No. lild,.fl7l, dated November 8, 1864.
To @ZZ whom t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, JAMES U. SLOAN, of the city and county of Camden, in the State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tater-Coolers and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ot' the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a view ot' the bottom of the cooler inside; Eig. 2, an elevation 5 Fig. 3, a vertical section.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my improvement, I will proceed to descrlbc its construction and mode of operation.
The cooler is divided into two chambers, A and B, Fig. 3, ot' which the upper chamber, A, contains an unlimited supply of uncooled water. A pipe, C, proceeds from the bottom ofthe upper chamber', A, and extends down to the bottom of the lower chamber, B, forming a coil on the bottom thereof, such as is shown in Fig. l.
D, Fig. 2, is the door through which ice is introduced into the lower chamber and laid on the top ot' the coil ot' pipe.
An aperture (not shown in the drawings or model) can. be made at any convenient point in the bottom of chamber B for the escape of the melted ice.
rlhe pipe U is provided with two cocks, (marked respectively E and F, in Fig. 3.) The plugs or valves of these cocks are lengthened, each plug` forming an arm, a., which extends outside of the cooler. These arms c being united by the lever G, the two cocks are operated simultaneously by the lever H, which is pivoted at I. and connected with the united cocks E and F by the lever J.
The coil of pipe may be of dimensions sufficient to hold several gallons of water, or, where the cooler is intended for use in an ordinary family, the pipe need not contain more than from a half gallon to a quart of water.
The object of the described arrangement is to limit the amount of water intended to be refrigerated at any one time by cutting ot't' the supply of uncooled water. The cocks E and F being ot' the same dimensions, and bein opened and closed simultaneously, no more uncooled water is admitted into the pipe C than is equalin amount to the cooled water drawn from it at K, while at the same time the circulation which takes place where an unlimited supply ot' warm or uncooled water has tree access toa reservoircontainin g cooled water is prevented.
Instead ot' the coil of pipe described, there may be used a shallow box about an inch or inch anda half deep. it is to be placed on the bottom of the lower chamber, B, and the ice is to be laid on top of the boX. There must be an aperture in the bottom of the lower chamber for the escape of the melted ice. The pipe through which the uncooled water is'supplied must be attached at one side of the box and the pipe through which the cooled water is to be drawn oft' must proceed from the opposite side of the box'.
Having thus described my improvement, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the cocks E and F, and levers G, H, and J, with a water-cooler, substantially as described.
JAMES C. SLOAN.
