Beit known that I, NATHAN HEYMANN, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident tion of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims, refer? ence being had to the accompanying draw ings, in which: Y

Figure l is a vertical section of my refrigerator.; Fig, 2 is a horizontal section showing the ice chamber and location of' water supply; Fig. 3 is a detail vertical section. y

My refrigerator is to be preferably made of sheet -metal having the walls packed as usual.

The provision chamber A is located rat the lower part of the refrigerator as usual and the ice chamber B above it. Within theice chamber and -lyin disposed a coil, of pipe leading from the water box D secured to the outside of the refrigerator, said `water box having a cover D; this coil, after passing through the ice chamber, passes through the front wall of the casing `and has a spigot c for drawing of the water for drinking purposes.

The ice chamber does not extend entirely to the sides of the casin there being a space between said ice cham er and the sides of the casing, as shown inFigs. 2 and 3; the front and rear walls of the ice chamber are provided with guides g in which slide the vertical lates `E forming the sides of the ice cham er; .these plates E have a horizontal upper flange E which is perforated as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, which perfora-4 5()A tions allow the cold air from the` ice cham-y .ber to pass downwardly to the provision chamber, as indicated by arrows in' Figs- 1 and 3. Extending from the ice chamber downwardly is the waste pipe F which passes throu h the bottom o the provision chamber an 'enters the cup, or drumv Y Specification of Letters Patent. fi y applicati@ mea August ze, 1909. lserial 30,514,089.

on the floor thereof isv `the. drum trap Y extendsV the drip pipe H which has the inverted cone-shaped cap I, said cap entirely inclosing the lower end of pipe H andl preventing the ingress of in .sects to the waste pipe.` The ,pipe H has the waste water to ldischarge into the cone-shaped cap l. The Waste water, when the cone@ shaped cap I becomes full, runs into the drip pan J, as is usual with this type of refrigerators.

The refrigerator is.v provided with a lid or cover K winch also forms a lid or cover for the ice chamber, by which means the ice chamber is to be lled with its supply of ice. This` cover K is made hollow, belng formed of the upper .wall K" and the lower wall K2 or compartmentfKs. The lower wall K2 is closed by la door K4. which lis of metal and perforated, as. Vshown insection in Fig. l. rlhis chamber is to be used for storing fruit, vegetables, meats, fish, &c., preventing. any odor from entering`the cooling apartments or chambers, where other articles of food are kept.

The water tank D is made detachable from'the refrigerator and is to be provided with a clean-out, said water tank bei e' `placed at therear of the refrigerator annd the coil from the same passing through the ice chamber will form a convenient source of other water supply at hand.

strips L of suitable size so vthat when the door and cover are closed cold air will be prevented from escaping.

'lhe partitions, trays, pi e coil, drain pipe, and vwater tank may e all removed from the refrigerator for cleaning without any inconvenience.

casters, hinges, looks, knobs, &c., as is usual in this type of devices.

The ice necessary will be placed in the chamber B lying on the coils C, thus cooling ply tank D to the spigot c, and the waste water will pass down the drain pipe. F to the air trap G and thence to the drip pan.

It will thus ,be seen that I provide a simple, cheapand eiicient construction of re- Patented July 2e, l191,0.

I claim: i y

1. A refrigerator comprising a casing consisting of a Ilnain provisionchamber, an ice chamber immediately above the same, a cover or lid e'nnon to the casing Aand. ice chamber, said cover having a lower wall and intervening space between the ower and upper walls of the cover, said lowerwall having an aperture, and a perforated plate hinged to the lower wall and closing said aperture.V v l 2'. `A refrigerator comprising a casing oonsisting of a main provision chamber, an ice chamber immediately above-the same, said ice chamber of less width than the width of they feasin vertieal'gude flanges extendingl upward y from the side edges of the ice c amber, ,removable side walls fitting within said guide anges, perforated horizontal flanges extending from the upper edges of the slde walls to the side walls" of the casing, a cover or lid commonl to the casing, and ,the ice chamber, said cover having a lower wall and an intervening space between its upper and lower Walls, said lower wall having an aperture through which theice chamber is supplied, and a hinged perforated plate closing said aperture.
