.c ootme AND DISPENSING CABINET.

no. sea-17a Improvements in Cooling and Dispensing Cab nets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, tion of the invention, such as will enable ot .ers skilled in the art to which'it appertains to make and use the same. I

My inventionrelates to a novel construction in cooling and dispensing cabinets, and relates particularlytoa device which is adapted to be set up behind and dpartially underwhich contains coils through which the beer flows to faucets disposed on the wall of the chamber containin such coils, the said chamber being movab le on the base and adapted to receive chopped ice in order to cool thebeer during its flow through said coils, the object being to provide a simple eflicient device of this character in which all parts are easily accessible for purposes of repair; and it consists in the features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and ing my invention, Figure 1 is a view, partially in elevation and artially n section, of a bar behind which is dlsposed a cabinet con structed in accordance with my invention, the latter being shown in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the cabinet. Fig. 3

is a front elevation of the same, partlyin vertical transverse section. Fig. 4'isa vertical longitudinal section on. the line 4 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5is a vertical transverse detail section of the upper portionof the coi lcham ber "of my device, taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. r6 Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the upper portion or lid of the coil-chamber. Fig. 7 is a fragmentary detail plan view of the basin" employed in the base portion. of my device. Fig. 8 is a fragmentary detail transverse sec tion of the u per part of the base portion of my device s owing a guide-rail employed. Fig. 9 is a fragmentary detail perspective view showin a modified tion and gui e-rail.

My said device comprises a cabinet 1, which may be employe bottled liquors and access to which. is -ob- Specification of Letters Patent. Application was 4, 1906. smart. 920.09:

and exact descrip being disposed flush with the projects over the mouth of a form of cOnstrucb for the storage of 'Patented an; -1, 1907. l

'tained through the doors 2 and 3. The s aid cabinet 1 is open at its upper end and the vertical walls thereof are cut away on the inner faces of their upper end portions, as at4,

to provide guides for the reception of the coilchamber 5 and in which the latter moves.

On the shoulders thus formed flat strips 6 and 7 of metal are mounted, Said strips6 being stepped between. their ends, asat 8, and bem mounted only uponthe side walls of said ca inet 1.

The grooves for receiving said stripsfi are similarly stepped, and upon the lower portion of said'*strips the flanges 9 of a basin 1,0 are adapted to rcst'to sup ort the said basin, the upper faces of said lihnges 9 upper faces of the higher portions of said stris 6 and coacting with the latter to form, a guide upon which a the coil-chamber 5 moves. vThe said, basin 10 is provided with a drain-spout '11, which 1 funnel 12, dis"- posed upon the upper end of a drain-pipe 13,

mounted insaid ca inet land adapted to be connected with the soil-p1 eof the building to drain water from sal sewer. The said cabinet 1 is preferably rigidly secured to the floor behind the bar and partly underneath the same.

Disposedupo n basin 10 to the said cabinet 1 is said coil-chamber 5, in which are disposed *a plurality of spiral coils ofpipe 14, connected at one end with the faucets 15 and at their other ends with the beer-barrels,

the last-named connections being made by means of flexible tubing. The said faucets 15 are disposed upon the front wall of said chamber 5 and above said basin 10 of the 6 cabinet 1, the latter being adapted to receive the drippings and being preferably covered by a foraminated plate 16,upon which glasses are adapted to stand. The said Walls of said chamber 5 are step ed at their upper ends, and the rear wall t ereof is lower than the frontwall, so that the said upper end portion of said chamber is provided, with an L- shaped recess 17, in which the rear end portion of the bar 18 is adapted to be received, the remaining or raised portion 19 of the upper end portion of said chamber 5 having its upper end flush-with the upper face of said ar. In said raised portion I provide an opening 20, in which a rectangular basin 21 is ada ted to be received, the latter bein provi ed on the upper edge of its side an end walls with outwardly-extending flanges the'up said c'a inet 1.

22, adapted to rest upon suitable cut-away portions of the front and side walls of the chamber 5 and of the flange 23 of the top wall thereof, the upper ends of said flan cs 22 being flush with the upper face of the ar 18, so that li uids collecting on the latter may be brushe into said basin 21. The latter is provided with a central slot 24, surrounded raised flanges 25, and is adapted to be c osed by means of a removable cover 26. Through said slot access may be had to said chamber 5 for the purpose of introducing cracked ice into the latter or to effect repairs when necessary. When in use, said cover 26 will be always in lace and a perforated plate 27 disposed in t e' mouth portion of said basin and resting upon the flanges 22 thereof. A drain-pipe 28, connecting wlth said basin 21 at one end, asses through said chamber 5 and through t e bottom wall thereof and is disposed in vertical alinement with the n-outh of said funnel 12, so that the liquid contents of said basin 21 will drain off to the sewer.

therethrou h The side walls and rear portion of the ottom of said chamber 5 are cut away to'form L-shaped recesses 29 to receive the extreme upper end ortions of the side and rear Walls of said cabinet, the latter being preferably reinforced by means of a metal strap 30, disposed upon the outer faces thereof. The said bottom of said chamber 5 rests upon said guide-stri s 6 and may be moved back and forth t ereupon. When said chamber 5 is moved forward on said guidestrips, said drain-pipe 28 will become disposed above the basin 10, so as to drain into the latter during'the time that it remains in this position, and when so moved said cham ber will obviously rest partially or entirely upon the flanges of said basin 10. The water from melted ice is drained from said chamber 5 through a pipe 31 in the bottom wall thereof surroundnn said pi e 28 and of larger diameter than the latter, t J said water thus also drainin through said funnel l2 and pipe 13, as will be obvious. In Fig. 9 I have shown a slight modification in the form of construction of the guides on which said chamber 5 moves, the latter in this instance consisting of angle-strips 32, mounted upon or edges of the-side and end walls of Such angle-strips would obviously simplify the construction. B rendering the refrigerating-chamber mova le on said cabinet 1 ready access to the same is assured, and, furthermore, this part of the de vice, which is quickest to wear out, can be readily replaced without-necessitating replacing of said cabinet 1'. Repairs are frequently rendered necessary by the burstin of coils or the breaking of connections, an furthermore, access should be rendered easy in order to enable proper cleansing of this chamber.

I claim as my invention' 1. A device of the kind specified comprising a base, a basin therein having a deliveryspout, a drain-pipe in said base into which said spout discharges, guide-rails on said base, a cooling-chamber movable on- 'said basmand carrying faucets disposed, above said basin, a basinin the upper end of said cooling-chamber, a drain-pipe leading therefrom, and a drain-pipe from said. coolingchamber, said last-named drain-pi e being so disposed as to be in vertical ainement with said drain-pipe in said base or with the basin therein according to the position of the said cooling-chamber.

2. The combination with the .bar, of a cooling-and dis ensing cabinet disposed behind and partia y beneath the bar, and comprisin a baseg'and a cooling-chamber movably isposed on said base and provided in said cooling-chamber and said basins dis.
