10E CAN. A PPLIOATION FILED MAR. 26, 1909.
Patented-Apr. 18, 1911.
- Witnmoeo TctLZZ-whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH DE N BERRY- rum, aucitizehxof the United States, residing inFt'he 'toi'ty landgcounty of Philadelphia, tateaof'ltennsylvania, have invented a new an'd'="usefulIcaGan, of which the following is a specification. i
"Thisinvention relates to a receptacle utilizedin connectionwith ice making apparatus and ser'vingrthe purpose of receiving the-fluid'to be frozen and inwhich it is subjected to the act-ion. of a surface cooler or the like. As heretoforeconstructed receptacles' performing this function have been manufactured usually of metal, the parts of which are so joinedtogether as to provide sharp. edges so that when'the'can or receptacl'e' 'isdeposited within the cooling chamher of the refrigerating apparatus the sharp edges strike or catch upon the pipes or other portions of the apparatus resulting in the canor v receptacle slipping off of the coils and dropping to the bottom of the chamber,
causingthe;ruination of the can or else the vention, I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since the same has been found in practice to give satisfactory-and reliable results although it is to be under stood that the various instrumentalitiesof which my invention consists can be variously arranged andorganized' and that, my
invention is not limited to the precise arrangementand organizationof these inst-rumentalities as herein shown and described.
Figure 1 represents a perspective of a receptacle embodying myinv'ent'ion. Fig. 2
represents a section through a refrigerating compartment showing my novel'receptacles in relation thereto. Fig. 3 represents a secti'on .on line wm, Fig. 1.
"iclacsi' i 1 f,
eemierwe f Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings, '1 'desighates a tank of the type commonly used in refrig erating plants to receive the cans or receptacles in which the fluid to be frozen is placed and 2 designates coils of pipe suitably spaced apart to permit the cans or receptacles being placed therein in proper position. These pipes 2 serve the usual purpose of conducting the freezing agent through the tank 1 in sufficiently close proximity to produce the necessary freezing action of the fluid within the several cans or receptacles. In cans or receptacles which have heretofore beenemployed in connection with the freezing tanks 1 it has been found, owing to the limited space between the coils of pipe and the receptacles, that in v placing the cans in proper position, damage frequently occurs to the return bends of the pipes 2, causing a leakage of the highly expanding freezing agent. The accidents reyttr um, ssignees IOQNE-WJ.
'sp ifi u n of ir, r t i fPateiited'Apr.18,:19111 Application filed March 26,1909. Serial No. I. 'i
ferred 'to are due to the sharp edges of the receptacles which, in viewrof the weight of a filled can, cause them after, several times striking in the same place on a 'coilto loosen the connections into .the return bends and make it necessary to shut down the plant, remove. the cans and the brine from the tank and put on-pressure to find the location of the break and then repair the same, all of which may cause the stoppage-of the plant for a week or more or, as before stated,the use of an excessive amount of ammonia.-
Frequent-1y, a filled can will lodge upon one of the coils and be supported temporarily thereby but will finally slide off and drop to the bottom of the chamber -eausing a splash of water over the tankalloiy ng air to get into the water and causing the aut-o-' matic can. filler to shut off. Delays from this source of trouble are frequent and the may run into several thousand dollars.
In the present invention, I disclose a receptacle preferably of theusual form, that of a rectangle, and having the sides 4 and the ends 5 suitably joined, in the present instance, by overlapping riveted joints 6 and a similar construction being utilized for the bottom 7. The sides 4:, which are the ones that usually come in contact with the coil pipes 2 are here shown as each being provided with rounded ends 8 forming a connection with the bottom of the receptacle, the curvature being that of a radius of suitable length to produce a deflecting movemeut of the receptacle, should it come in contact with a pipe or pipes while being placed within the tank 1. In the present instance the bottom 7 is provided with a de pending'fian'ge 9 to which the sides are riveted and preferably are somewhat longer than the flange 9 in order that an inturned lip 10- may be-provided forming substantially a rounded corner at the end of the curve of the side,8.
It will be readily apparent Whena receptacle constructed in accordance with my 1nvention is used in connection with a refrigerating apparatus that the danger'of injury to the pipes, return bends or other portions of the apparatus is reduced to a minimum, since the rounded end portions do not present any sharp edges with which the adjacent parts may come in contact.
.1 It will now be'apparent that I have devised a novel and useful construction which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description and while I have in the present instance shown and 4 described the preferred embodiment thereof which has been found in practice .to give satisfactory and reliable results, it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of modification in various particulars without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. As a new article .of manufacture, a portable ice can, comprising suitably joined sides 4 and ends 5, the sides being formed with rounded edges 8, a bottom having rounded depending flanges 9 secured to said rounded edges and the lower terminals of said sidesbeing bent to form inturned lips 10 embracing saidv flanges!) between their free edges amltheir points of connection with the sides.
As a new article of manufacture, a removable ice can, comprising suitably joined sides 4, and ends 5, said sides being formed 'with rounded edges 8, a bottom 7 having .rounded inwardly turned depending flanges .9 secured to said rounded edges and the toward and away from which, the rounded bottom corners of said can are adapted to be inserted and removed.
