IMPROVED ICE-BOX OR COOLER.

Specification forming To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J GEN W. CAMPBELL, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ice- Boxes and Coolers and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view, portions of the case being represented as broken away to show the internal structure; and Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section.

In both figures the same letters are in the indication of the same parts.

A is the exterior case, in the mouth of which is a door, A, filling one end of the case. A is a cover fitting onto and forming the top of the case A. Within the case A is an internal case, B, so arranged in relation to the external case A as to leave betweenthem a space to be filled with charcoal or other suitable material. At the outer end of the internal case B it has a projecting mouth, B, which fits neatly into an opening in the end of the external case. The door A shuts against the edges of the mouth B of the internal case, having on its inner face a downwardly-inclined cleat, A, which shuts within the mouth B,-for the purpose of conducting the moisture that may condense upon the door into the internalcase, where it fallsupon the downwardly and inwardly inclined side of the mouth B. The inner case B is open above, being closed by the cap B, which fits tightly upon it. C is a pipe conducting the fluid to be cooled through the cover of the exterior case A, and leading downward between the exteemployed part of Letters Patent No. 62,392, dated February 26, 1867.

rior and interior cases, when it is bent at right angles and carried within the interior case B.

the interior case. As it melts the water runs off through a pipe leading from the interior case into the pipe E attached to the exterior case. The pipe E is bent, as shown in Fig. 2, in such manner that water enough shall always remain in the bent part of the pipe to fill it, and thus permit the passage of air through the pipe into the interior of the case B. The space above the ice in the internal case B may be used for the ordinary purposes of a refrigerator, being fitted with sliding shelves in the ordinary manner, if so desired.

Having fully described the entire construction of the cooler, what I claim as new, and as of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The arrangement of an ice-box and cooler for fluid, consisting of an external case, A, internal case B, pipe 0 for conducting fluids through the same, and a discharge-pipe, being respectively constructed, combined, and arranged in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
