LIQUID-DIPENSING APPARATUS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 17, 1912..
Application filed April 18, 1909.v Serial No. 489,749.
York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid-Dispensing Apparatus, of which the,
following is a specification, theprinciple of the invention being hereinv explained and the bestmode in Which :I have contemplated.
applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.
The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail, one mechanical form embodying the invention; such detail construction being but one of various mechanical forms in'which the principle of the invention may be used..
In said annexed drawings, Figure I represents a longitudinal vertical section, on the line II in Fig. II, ofmy improved beer and ale cooler; Fig. II, a transverse section on the linen-11 in Fig. I; Fig. III, a section on the line IIIIII in Fig. II;
Fig. IV, a top plan view of one of the beer coils, and Fig. V a perspective View of the frame for one of said coils.
The cooler consists of a rectangular casing, preferably formed with double. walls similar to the ordinary refrigerator or ice chest, and consisting of a tall rear compartment, 1, and a lower front compartment 2, of a height of about one-half of the rear compartment. The casing is preferably mounted upon legs '3. The compartments have open tops, and the top of the larger compartment is closed by a metal cover, 4, which forms a receptacle for the drainings from glasses or other vessels placed upon it and draining through a perforated top 5. The lower forward compartment has its open upper side closed by a cover 6, which also forms a drainage receptacle and has a perforated top, 7 and a discharge spout 8, atone.
end, which spout discharges into a small trough, 9, which discharges into a drain pipe, 10, which passes through the bottom of the compartment and has suitable connection to the sewer or other waste connection. The also a discharge spout 11, which connects with a waste pipe 12, the lower end of which is joined to the waste pipe 10. A number of ale faucets, 13, beer faucets, 14,.and a Water faucet, 15, are secured in and through the front side of the large rear compartment, near. the top of the same. In the drawings areshown four ale faucets arranged two on-v each side of the central water faucet, 15, and four beer faucets, arranged two on each side of the ale faucets,there being.
thus-illustrated nine faucets. Pipes 16, are connected to the ale faucets and extend upon thev inner side of the front wall of the rear compartment and through an opening 17, at the middle-of said wall, into the forward pompartment where said pipes are formed nto coils, 18, resting-0n the bottom of the forward compartment, and preferably arranged in pairs, one coil superimposed upon theother. The coils extend in pipes 19, which are connected to ale pumps, 20, having feed-pipes, 21, connected to the casks.
The opening 17, through which the'ale pipes pass intothe forward compartment, is forwardly inclined and opens into the upper art of the forward compartment and serves, )esides its function as a passage for the ale pipes, as an overflow opening through which the ice Water which melts off from theice with which the rear compartment is packed into the forward compartment, wheresaid ice water will serve to cool the ale coils. The drain pipe 10, in the for Ward compartment has openings 22, a distance above the tops of the ale coils, so that the water may flow out through these openings in the drain pipe when its level rises to said openings. Pipes, 23, connect the beer faucets with the lower .endsof oblon beer cooling coils, 24, and the upper ends 0 these coils are connected with pipes 25, which pass through the forward wall of the rear compartment and down through the bottom of the forward compartment, where they are connected to the beer casks. These latter pipes are preferably arranged in pairs and the openings'in the bottom of the forward compartment, through which these pipes pass, are protected by boxes or casings, 26, which extend above the drain openings. in the waste pipe, so that the ice water which cools the ale coils cannot overflow these casings and flow out through the openings for the beer pipes. The water faucet has a pipe 27, which also passes out through the opening in the front wall of the rear compartment together with the ale pipes, and
said water pipe is formed into a coil, 28,
which rests upon the bottom of the forward compartmentand has connection through said bottom with a supply of either still or carbonated, water. The beer coils, of which four are illustrated in the present cooler are wound around supports composed 0 vertical bars, 29, which extend between two oblong frames 30, having pairs of lugs 31, at their ends. These lugs on age and slide u on vertical ribs 32, upon t e inner sides 0 the front and rear wall of the rear compartment, and said ribs are formed with a gap at about their middles, so that the coil structure may be slid upward and then turned so as to permit of the coils passing by the beer and ale pipes which otherwise would prevent removal of the coils.
In practice, the pipes leading to the beer coils are suitably connected to the beer casks from which the beer is. forced upward through the pipes and coils under suitable gas or air pressure. The suction-pipes from the ale pumps are connected to the respective casks, and the ale isdrawn from the casks by actuating the pump which forces the ale through the coil and up to the faucet. The
' water pipe and coil are connected to the water supply, which maybe either the ordinary hydrant supply or in case of carbonated water, a tank or receptacle for the same.
The entire rear compartment is packed with t ice and the water which melts off from said ice overflows through the opening 17, in the front wall of this compartment and into the forward compartment, where this ice water cools the ale coils, overflowing'through the openings of the waste pipe in said compartment when it rises to the level of said openings. By this arrangement the beer coils will be cooled by direct contact with the ice, while the ale coils will be cooled by the ice water which, of course, has a higher temperature than the ice whereby too low a degree of cooling for the alc coils is prevented and said coils are kept cooled to a proper temperature, so that the ale maybe drawn clear. In coolers in which the ale coils are cooled by direct contact with the ice purities from the-ice which may lodge between the separate coils, as the coils may be a detached from the supply and outlet pipes by unscrewing the couplings connecting said coils to said pipes, and each coil structure may then be raised until the lower pairs of lugs arrive at the gap between the vertical ribs, when the coil may be laterally turned and lifted out through the top of the rear compartment without being obstructed or interfered wlth by the'ale 'or beer pipes and ment into which the ice-water from the beercoil compartment flows, not only effects the proper cooling of the ale-coils, preventing the clouding of the ale from too low a degree of cooling, but also effects a considerable saving 1n ice, inasmuch as no ice is consumed in cooling the ale, but the ale is cooled by ice-water which would otherwise flow into the sewer-connection and be wasted. It is evident that a considerable saving of ice is effected while the cooling of the ale is accomplished at a more desirable temperature without consuming any ice. In fact, the Pooling of the ale is attained without any consumption of ice, andfby what would otherwise be waste from thoc 'peer-cooling compartment.
Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed for the mode herein explained. Change may therefore be made as regards the mechanism thus disiclosedfprovided the principles of construction set forth respectively in the following claims are employed. l I therefore particularly point out and dis- 1 tinct-ly claim as my invention,:' Y
