UNITED STATES inane BILL K. COMBS, OF MARION, OHIO.
REFRIGERATOR.
Application filed March 29, 1922. Serial No. 547,791.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, BILL K. Cortes, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Marion, in the county of Marion and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Refrigerators, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in refrigerators and more particularly refers to a refrigerator for use in connection with the cooling of bottled goods which must be kept on hand in stores in large quantities.
An object of the invention is to provide a refrigerator for bottles and the like of a relatively large capacity in which the cooling of the bottles and their contents will be effected completely and quickly after the bottles are once placed in therefrigerator cabinet, and moreover'the device is intended to render the compartments carrying the various goods easily accessible.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a compact and relatively inexpensive refrigerator in which the 4bottles will be preserved in a cleanly state so as to be unobjectionabley tothe inspection of customers of the goods when they are brought forth from the refrigerator, such result being se cured by the fact that the bottles are con-V tained in a holder which keeps them out of direct contact with the ice itself, but the bottles are arranged in a cold air circuit which effectively cools them.
lWith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention will be more fully described hereinafter, and will be more particularly pointed out in the claim appended hereto.
In the drawings, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views.
Fig. 1 a perspective view of a refrigerator constructed according to the present invention; i
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken hingitudinally through the refrigerator;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the inner holder;
Fig. a is a horizontal section taken on the line 4-41 in Fig. 2; and,
Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional View 'taken centrally through the device.
Referring more oarticularly to the drawings, I provide a ca inet having a front wall 1, a rear wall 2, end walls 3 and 4 and a bottom 5. The cabinet is supported upon suitable legs G which may form continuations of the end posts. AL flange i' is provided at the top part of the cabinet leaving a shoulder 3 for t-he flanged top 9 to rest upon. This top or cover 9 is hinged as indicated at 10 in Fig. 5 to the rear wall 2 and is adapted to be lifted when the refrigerator is to be iced or replenished with bottled goods.
The walls may be made up of suitable thicknesses of material and a dead air insulating space is provided about the cabinet by the use of a 'doubled Wall structure. This doubled wall structure comprises front and back walls 10 and 11 spaced inwardly from the front and back outer walls 1 and 2 and inner end walls 12 and 13 connecting the ends of the walls 10 vand 11, such end walls 12 and 13 being spaced suitable distances fromvthe outer end Walls 3 and 1l. There is also a second raised bottom 14 spaced above the 'lower bottom 5. Corner strips 15 are provided to support the various inner walls and'to space them from the outer walls and closing strips 16 extend about the upper edges ofthe inner and outer walls in order to prevent' a circulation of air in the spaces confined between this doubled wall structure. The air, not being permitted to circulate, will forman insulation to maintain a relatively low temperature within the cabinet. f f
The interior of the cabinet is adapted to receive a holder for bottled goods shown in Fig. 3 which is composed of metal or other suitable material made after any suitable fashion or design andpreferably of the rectangular structure shown having the front and rear walls 17 and 18, the end walls 19 and 20 and the perforated raised bottom 21. Below the bottom 21 the various walls are also provided with perforations 22 for the circulation of the cold air as hereinafter more fully described.
The various walls may be indented to provide'an internal bead 23 to support thc bottom 21 or this bottom may be otherwise supported. The holder rests directly upon the inner upper bottom lt of the cabinet and is preferably divided into a number of separate compartments designed to receive different varieties or quantities of the bottled goods. This division of the holder is preferably secured by the use of a center longitudinally extending division plate 24 intern sected at suitable .intervals by cross partitions 25, thus separating the interior space of the holder into two series of longitudinally ruiming compartments. '.lhe compartnients will. be preferably of such a character as to length. and breadth as to receive the bottles in. a recliningl position whereby to enable the cold air to more readily circulate therethrough rl`he air will thus be guided by the `reduced necks of the bottles from one side to another and. willfthus come into active contact with all of the bottles in. the compartments. One compartment for instani'ze may be made to contain bottles of coco-colin while a second coinpartn'ient con-- tains ginger alej a third sarsaparilla, etc.7 and the compartments may be lalieleil so as to facilitate the production of the article called for by the customer.
The hanged cover' 9 resting upon the shoulder 8 holds the inner top portion of the cover at an elevation above the top edge of the cabinet and holder as plainly seen.
in Figs. 2 and 5, and thus provides an air circulatory space which takes in each compartment and the space about the holder. This holder is of reduced dimensions as compared with the cabinet interior in order to allow of a suitable space there-around in which cracked or chopped ice or other refrigerant is placed.
The ice will not be allowed to come into contact with the bottles themselves so as to wet them and give them a drenched or otherwise unsanitary appearance7 but the bottles will be cooled by contact of the air which circulates downwardly through the ice pack through the perforations 22 into the space beneath the holder and thence up through the perforated bottom 2l and compartments. As the air becomes relatively warmer it will rise through `the compartments and cross over the space above the cover and again down through the ice jacket.
Access is hadto the various compartments of the holder preferably by two series of small doors 2 6 mounted in the cover 9 upon a longitudinal central pintle 27 which permits of the doors being raised without requiring the lifting of the relatively heavy cover 9. An iiulividual door 26 iis ai.range l above each of the compartments in the holder and if desired the doors may be labeled with the goods. By having small doors of this character, there will be less chance of the relatively high heated exterior air affecting the temperature of the cabinet during use. The doors are preferably providedV with knobs 28 for facilitating the opening thereof and the cabinet is also pro- 'vided with a drain 29 to remove the Water formed by the melting ice, the interior of the cabinet being preferably provided with a metal lining 3() to avoid leakage.
In the use of the device, ice will be packed around the holder in the manner indicated in Figs. land 2 and bottles of various goods or other packages or containers are put into the several compartments and the cover 9 closed. The air will circulate through each individual compartment as above described and as .indicated b v the arrows in. Fig. 2 and it will be noted that by virtue of the arrangement and disposition of the compare ments, all of the compartments have at least one side communicating with the ice jacket so that the circulation has access to each compartment. As the goods are called for, the proper door 26 in the compartment is opened to give access to a desired compartment and when the cabinet is to be re-iced or the goods replenished in any great number, the lid 9 itself may be lifted.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing` that by use of a cabinet of this character the bottles may be preserved in a cleanly and sanitary state and at the same time be kept cold and a proper drinking temperature without requiring great quantities of ice, and the arrangement and disposition of the cabinet cover and its doors is such as to conserve as far as possible the refrigerant.
It is obvious that various changes and modifications may be made in the details of construction and design of the above speciically described embodiment of this invention without departing from the spirit thereof, such changes and modifications be ing` restricted only by the scope of the following claim.
Vilhat is claimed is:
ln a refrigerator for bottled goods and the like an outer casing, an inner removable container spaced from the side walls of the casing to provide an ice receiving compartment, said container having imperforate side walls arranged to terminate a short distance below the top of said outer casing, whereby an air passage is provided between the ice compartment and the interior of the inner container, the inner container having a perforate bottom, and perforated flanges integral with said side walls and depending below said. bottom., whereby the side Walls are supported and a free circulation of air is permitted between the ice compartment and the interior of the inner container.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
