REFRIGERATOR.
, Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 9, 1915.,
Application filed July 22, 1914. Serial No. 852,414.
To all whom it may concw:
Be it known that I, ANTHoN B. BENSON, citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Refrigerators; and I do hereby declare the following' to be a full, clear, and exact description'of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. e
My invention relates to refrigerators, and has for its object to improve the same in the several particulars hereinafter noted.
Generally stated, the invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of de- Vices hereinafter described and defined in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts.
Referring to the drawings, Figure `1 is a vertical section taken through the refrigerator on the line x :20 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line 00 90 of Fig. 1.
The box or body of the refrigerator may be of any suitable 'constructiom and it is provided With a main door 2, which' normally closes an opening into the storage compartment of the refrigerator, and With a door 3 that normally closes an opening into the ice compartment of the refrigerator.
The ice-containing compartment 4 of the refrigerator preferably has its bottom depressed below the bottom of the storage compartmcnt 5, and on this depressed bottom is removably located an ice-supporting table 6, having laterally spaced upper bars 7 and an intermediate lower water-deflecting bar 8.
The numeral 9 indicates a drainage passage which opensthrough the bottom of the refrigerator from the icecompartment.
The numeral 10 indicates a cake of ice r placed on the ice-supporting table.
Extending transversely across the interier of the refrigerator, and partly separatng the compartments 4 and 5, is a partition that is made up, preferably, of parallel channelshape metallic end ,bars 11, and parallel transversely extended deflecting bars 12, which latter, at their ends, are detachably Secured to the flanges of said end' bars 11 by small nut-equipped bolts, which make' it 'possible to replace any of the said bars 12, in
However, the said bars ll the ice conpartment case they should be badly bent or broken. and 12 may be connected by rivets, solder, or otherwise, When desired. In cross section, said bars 12 are preferably 'made approXimately Z- shape, with their webs at such angles to their edge fianges that, when the partition is in a vertical position, the webs of the said bars 12 will stand at an angle of approximately forty-five degrees, increasing in a direction from the compartment 5 toward the compartment 4. This arrangement gives the best possible circulation of air between 4 and storage Compartment 5.
The partition described is mounted for both pivotal movements and for limited vertcal movements, and, as shown, this is accomplished by studs or retaining pins 13 secured on the sides of the refrigerator, and Working through longitudinal slots 14 in the Webs of the end bars 11. When the partition is in an upright normal position, as shown by full lines in Fig. l, its lower portion is confinedbetween the ice table and one or more stop lugs or brackets 15, Secured on the bottom of the refrigerator on the storage compartment side 5 thereof. The slots 14 are of such length that the partition may be lifted vertically far enough to carry its lower endover the stop lug 15, and also above the top of the ice table. This construction makes it possible, When the ice is removed, or melted to a very small piece, to first lift the partition above the stop 15, and then to turn the same into a horizontal position, indicated by dotted lines in F ig. 1, for the purpose of cleaning the same. The partition could then be turned back to its working position, or it may be inverted or turned upside down into working position. This turning of the partition completely end for end, or upside down, increases the Working life of the partition, by providing two sides, either of which may be used in case one side is badly distorted or damaged The slats or cross bars 12 of the by the ice. partition are supported at their ends only by the upright end bars 11 of said partition, so that the entire space between the said bars 12 is unobstructed, or open for the free circulation of air.
The device described is'of small cost, may be easily incorporated in various different kinds of ice chests, and is efiicient for the purposes had in View.
