COOLER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 12, 1909.

Application filed March 4, 1908. Serial No. 419,180.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SUSAN M. KING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Burnet, in the county of Burnet and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coolers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in coolers; and an objectof my invention is to provide a cooler which will be simple in construction, cheap in manufacture and most eilicient in operation.

In the drawings illustrating the principle of my invention and the best mode now known to me of applying that principle, Figure 1 is a central vertical section showing the cooler in place upon a jar; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my new cooler.

From the bottom a of the cooler rises a cylindrical wall Z), the latter and the bottom a forming a dislrlike receptacle for water. In the center of the bottom a is mounted a ventilating flue or pipe 0, the lower end of which is open and the upper end of which is covered with a piece of wire gauze (Z.

The bottom a extends out beyond the wall Z) to form a flange e, and to the bottom a on its lower face are secured legs The latter are each provided with a shoulder g.

In use the cooler is placed upon the top of the h containing the liquid, as milk or cream, to be keptcool. The shoulder g of each leg 7 rests upon the rim 2' of the jar 71 whereby an open space j is left between the bottom a and the top of the jar h. Through this open space j flows a current of air which passes up through the central ventilating flue c. A piece of porous cloth 7c is wrapped arond the jar h and its upper edge dips into the water held by the wall I) and bottom a. The air circulating through the open space j and the pipe 0 increases the evaporation of the water held by the porous cloth is.

I claim:

1. A cooling device consisting of a dishlike receptacle made up of a wall and a bot tom, the latter being fitted with a ventilating pipe open at its ends and having legs, each of which is bent to form a shoulder and has an end portion extending downwardly from said shoulder, the latter being adapted to rest upon the rim ofthe jar containing the liquid to be cooled and said end portions being adapted to engage the wall of the jar, whereby an interval is left between the bottom of the receptacle and the rim of the jar for the passage of air through said ven tilating pipe.

2. A cooling device consisting of a dishlike receptacle made up of a wall and a bottom which extends outwardly beyond said wall to form a flange and which is fitted with a ventilating pipe open at its ends; said bottom being further fitted with legs, each of which is bent inwardly to form a shoulder and has an end portion extending downwardly from said shoulder, the latter being adapted to rest upon the rim of the jar containing the liquid to be cooled and said end portions being adapted to enter said jar and engage the wall thereof, whereby an interval is left between the bottom of the receptacle and the rim of the jar for the passage of air through said ventilating pipe.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this twenty sixth day of February, 1908, at said Burnet in the presence of the two undersigned witnesses.

SUSAN M. KING.
