' Application filed June 6, 1919. Seriai No. 302,233.
Be it known that I, HERBERT H. HILLMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Haven, in the county of Ottawa and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Refrigerators, of which the following is aspecification.
The present invention relates to refrigerators; and one of its objects is, generally, to
provide an improvedrefrigerator which may be easilykept clean and in good sanitary condition; and more particularly, to provide a refrigerator whose lining extends to the door in plane form, i. e., without internal 'corners, angles or turns adjacent the door;
a further object is to provide a refrigerator wherein the front wall and the lining adja- Figs. 3 and 5.; and
cent the door are joined in an improved manner; a further object is to provide a refrigerator having twolined chambers with improved means for intercommunication; a further object is to provide a refrigerator lining comprising two portions of unequal height with improved supporting-means for the top wall of one or both ortions.
These and any other ob ects hereinafter appearing are attained by, and the invention finds preferable embodiment in, the structures hereinafter particularly described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which: i v Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a refrigerator having'a provision chamber with a higher portion and a lower portion, and an ice chamber above the latter;
Fig. 2is a like view of a refrigerator having an .ice chamber above the provision chamber;
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view en- 1 are secured to the body portlon. and are poig. 4 is alike view of a portion of the same (much enlarged) taken on thegsame" plane;
Fig. 5 is-a vertical sectional view of the same taken on a plane corresponding toline B"B of Fig. 3;
Fig. 6 is, a sectional i view of a portion of the same (much enlarged) taken on a horizontal plane corresponding." to line 9-0 of 'Fig. "7 is a View in perspective of a refrigerator lining having-a higher portion and a lower portion. I
In the embodiment of the invention chosen for illustration by the drawings and for detailed description in the body of this specification, the refrigerator shown in Fig. 1 has a provision chamber comprising two portions of unequal heightthe higher portion 1 and the lower portion 2'and anice chamber 3 above the lower portion; while the refrigerator shown in Fig. 2 has an ice chamber 4 and a provision chamber 5 below it.
Referring now particularly to the con-' struction' shown in Fig. 1, the refrigerator has a rear wall 6,- op osite side walls, 7, 8 (being the lateral wa ls) and 9,. 10 (being the top and bottom walls respectively) and 'a front wall 11 comprising the joined outer member 12 and inner member 13, there bein a door-open1ng14 through said front wal A lining 15, preferably of porc'elained me-' tal, spaced from the rear wall 6 and from the side walls 7, 8,, 9 and 10, has sides 16,' 17, 18, 19 parallel with said side walls 7 8, 9and 10 respectively, extending in plane form (ii e. without angles Orturns) to the front wall 11 adjacent the oppositesides respectively of the door-o ening 14; At said opening these sides 16, 1?, 18, 19 have outwardly turned flanges 20, tightly held between the inner surface of the inner member 13 of the front wall and retaining members 21 secured tosaid inner surface as by the screws 22. The front wall 11 desirably com rises also finishing strip portions 23 in addition to the front walls body .portion composed of the inner member 13 and outer member 12:These finishing strip portions sitioned between the edges of the same and the sides of the door-opening '14 and abut against the outer surfaces of the flanges 20, a
as shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5.
It will be seen that inasmuch as the sides I 16, 17, 18 and 19'extend in plane form to the.
door-opening 14 through the front wall, the y rovision chamber can be easily cleaned and 1 cm in good sanitary condition, there being iio internal angles, corners or turns in the linings said sides adjacent the dgor-openin' as in prior constructions.
aihe i'ce chamber 3 of the refrigerator has a lining 25,.preferablyof galvanized metal,
Mum... A.
having sides 26, 27 spaced from the lateral side walls 7, 8 of the refrigerator and ex-. tending to the .front wall 11 adjacent oposite sides respectively of the ice chamers door-openin 28. and having thereat inwardly turned. anges 29: Metalhc retaining strips 30 have flanges 31,engaging the inner surfaces of the flanges 29 respectively, and are secured to the body portion of the 10 front wall at opposite sides of the dooropening 28, as by nails 32. Fillin members 33 are positioned between said bo y portion 11 of the front wall and the retaining strips respectively. It will be seen that the, lining 15 of the ice chamber is thus securely and supportingly fastened in proper position to the front wall ofthe refrigerator. Doors 34 and35, shown detached and,below the body of the refrigerator in Fig. 3 close the door-openings 14 and 28 respectively.
It will be understood that the aforesaid parts of the provision chamber and of the ice-chamber and their relative disposition and connections, are to be found also in the like parts 0f the construction shown in I Fi 2.
In Fig. 7 the lining 15 of the provision chamber of the construction shown in Fig.
1, is illustrated, the same having door-open- 30 ings 36 and 37. This lining has two communicating portions side by side with a floor 19 common to both, the portions being 1' of unequal height, the portion 1 being higher or extending above the portion 2. A me- 85 tallic strip 39' into a1 with said common floor extends vertica ly therefrom to the top 40 of the lower orshorter portion 2 in order to securely support the 'same'. and rigidly connect the parts together. 40' In Fig; 6 is particularl show'n'a hollow connecting member 41 or the provision chambers lining-15 and the ice chambers lining 25, and affording free air communi- .cation between said chambers. The lining 15 of the provision chamber has an outwardly extending hollow neck 42 in the opening 43 through the partition 44 between said chambers. he ice chambers lining 25 has an opening 45 therethrough registering 160' with the partitions opening 43. The hollow conn'ectin' member 41 extends throu h the opening t rough the ice chambers ining and into the opening through the partition and base body portlon 46 whose inner sur- 155 face 47' alines with the inner surface 48 of,
said neck and has also adjacent one .end an enlar (1 portion 50 receiving said" neck and as a so ad'acent its opposite end an outwardlyl exten ing flange 51 abuttin flatwise on t e ice chambers lining, whic has, adjacent the opening'45 therethrough, mea ns my hand at (as the nails 52) for securing it to the partition, the flange 51, desirably covering said nails heads and having means (as the nails 53) extending therethrough and'through the lining of the ice chamber to secure the, same to the. partition 44. a I I The lining 15 of the provision chamber may be secured to the front wall 11 by nails or screws 54 passing through the holes 55 in the outwardly turnedflanges 20; thus either or both methods hereinbefore described for securing the lining 15 to the front wall 11 ma 'be employed.
he invention being intended to be pointed out in the claims as provided by the statute, is not to be limited to or by details of constructionof the particular embodiment thereof hereinbefore shown or described. 7 I claim: I
1. In a structure of the character described having a rear wall, side walls and a front wall with a door-opening therethrough and having a body portion; a lining havin sides s aced from the side walls and exten ing to t e front wall ad acent opposite sides respectively of the door-openingand having thereat inwardly turned flanges; retaining strips having flanges engaging the inner surface of the flanges of the linings sides respectively and being secured to said body portion at-opposite sides of the dooropening; filling members between the re-' taining strips and the body portion ofthe front wall. A
- 2. In a structure of the character described; having two chambers with a partition between them having an opening theretition; a ollow connecting member for the linings extendin through the second linings o ening an" into the partitions opening an havmg a body portionwhose inner surface alineswith the inner surface of said neck and having adjacent one end an enlarged portion adapted to receive said neck and having adjacent its opposite end an outwardl extending flange covering the second lining s said securin means, said flange having means extending therethrou h and through the second lining for securing the same to the partition.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set Grand Rapids, Michigan, this 28th day of 1919. HE BERT H. HILLMAN.
