My invention re ates to improvements 'useful Improvements C'olers,'.of which in 7 common supply andjdischar'ge chamber connectedtherewith. The object of my invention istoprovide an improved cooler ofjthe type having a storage fieservoir therein jsuchthat when the dischar eis open only a limited uantity of the.

Dayton, in the county of Montgomeryand State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and coolers and more especially to that. type of cooler employing an innerreservoir' with a With this andother. objects it View my inf In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is reduced inlet, andFig. 6-

The float may.- be readily removed by unscrewing andtaking ofiithe outer nut, 6 l

c represents a filterofthepressure type, employing the Pasteur system, having a liquid supply inlet, 0', and an outlet, 0 havaconnection through-the casing, a, to the in e't valvechamber, if, said connection com-.- prisin pipe fittings'having a cutoff valve, c ,'an a reducer, c; the pipe fittin 0 within the cooling chamber being prefera lycurved as-shown to present more surface to cool the liquid it carries. A discharge pipe, 0, likewise curved for the urpose stated, leads from. the chamber, ll and is connected through the caSi g,,.a, with a dischar e cook or faucet, a. The said reducer, c, is ocated without the cooling'chamber and consists of. a bodfi having an inlet, a, and outlet 0, at rig tangles to each other, with a hollow lug, 0 screw threaded into saidoutlet, aving a reduced opening, a, leading from said inlet to said outlet, said plug-havinga solid extension, 0", with a slot, 0 in its head suitable to receive a screw-driver to,-screw said plugin place. I further provide said body with an o ening through which said] plug can be read y put in place and removed 35 at pleasure for, cleaning, said opening being. closed by a screw-threaded cap, 0. An. 5 overflow ipe, a pi'ojectsl upwardlyin the cooling o amber to a sufficient height to maintain a quantityof'liquid about a lar e portion of the reservoiras well asabout t e mlet anddischarge pipes in said chamber.

Itwillbe seen t e liquid supply is conducted through the reducer in limited quanti-ties into .thereservoir until it reaches a 'heightin said reservoir suflicientfor the floattoelose the, inlet valve. The liquid, being cooled in said reservoir,-is drawn oif at pleasure for useby opening the discharge cock, and b reason ofthe reducer admittin "onlyalsma 1 quantity of liquid 'as com are with the vamountdischarged, practically all of the discharge is from ,t e-reservoir and. of {substantially the. same temperatureiasity 0 was in the reserv'oir. l I g 105 JBy the.ciumtructiondescribed; employing the reduced inlet, .po'olersa of this type have fi'-;nind it su e s, t s, nd t ire addition of this improvement itdraw ofithecooled water at from the reservoir for the reason that the pressure of the supply would prevent the valve between the reservoir and the valve chamber, 6 from dropping. It is necessary to provide a supply for the cooler of greater capacity than would be required if the conditions and pressure always remained unrforin, but the pressure of the water and its conditions vary greatly in different localities. Further, when a filter is employed in the supply pipe, besides the variation in the water, the capacity of the filter itself changes due to the filtering medium becoming clogged in time, and. it is necessary for this reason to install a filter of greater capacity-than would be required under favorable conditionsthat is, where the water was very clear and the filter was cleaned often.

. For tliesereasons, therefore, the supply pipe I ply pipe near the cooler a reduced inlet. l This feature insures at least three-fourths of i the water drawn from the discharge being obtained from the storage reservoir where it has been cooled. It will be seen further that the device is automatic in its action in that the supply-needs no regulation for the reason that the reduced inlet is of suliicient capacity to supply sullieient water to the reservoir to keep it well filled although the supply may vary for the various reasons mentioned.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

In a cooler, a su )ply pipe having a reduced inlet, said reduced inlet consistin of a body having supply and discharge ori ass, a hollow perforated plug screwthreaded in said body between said supply and discharge orifices, and a closed opening in said body in proximity to said plug, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
