Question: Who co-invented the refrigerator that had it's manufacturing rights sold to an American manufacturer founded in 1922?
Context: The Thomas Organ Company is an American manufacturer of electronic keyboards and a one-time holder of the manufacturing rights to the Moog synthesizer.  The Company was a force behind early electronic organs for the home.  It went out of business in 1979 but reopened in 1996. Baltzar von Platen (24 February 1898 – 29 April 1984), together with Carl Munters, was the inventor of the gas absorption refrigerator in 1922 while they were both Swedish engineering students at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.  The technique produced "cold" from a heat source such as propane, electricity, or kerosene.  In 1923 production by AB Arctic began.  In 1925 AB Arctic was purchased by Electrolux, which began selling them worldwide.  Servel purchased rights to manufacture the refrigerator in 1925 and was the only U.S. manufacturer for many years.  Von Platen was awarded the Franklin Institute's John Price Wetherill Medal in 1932. The Smith Flyer was an American automobile manufactured by the A.O. Smith Company in Milwaukee from 1915 until about 1919 when the manufacturing rights were sold to Briggs & Stratton and it was renamed to Briggs & Stratton Flyer.  The Smith Flyer is a small, simple, lightweight, two-seat vehicle with a wooden frame that doubles as the body and as the suspension.  A small gasoline engine is mounted on a fifth wheel, or motor wheel, to drive the Flyer.  The wheelbase was 62 inches (1575 mm), the wheels were 20 inches (508 mm) in diameter, and the width was 30 inches (762 mm).  Since the 5th wheel was directly driven by the engine, the engine was started with the driving wheel lifted slightly in the air, and then when the engine was running smoothly, the driver lowered the engine (by means of a lever) gently to start the forward motion. Marinette yachts were a line of motor yachts built by Aluminum Cruisers Inc in Standiford Field, Kentucky from 1954 to 1991.  Manufacturing was suspended due to recession.  The manufacturing rights were purchased by the individual John Althouse with the intention of restarting production.  No new boats are currently manufactured, only some boats are being built on a custom basis. Scheibe Flugzeugbau was a manufacturer of sailplanes and motorgliders in Germany in the second half of the 20th century.  Founded by Egon Scheibe at the Munich-Riem Airport to produce his Bergfalke design in 1951, the company had produced over 2,000 aircraft by 1985.  After Egon Scheibe died in 1997, his sons-in-law took over the firm.  By 2006, they were ready to relinquish control themselves due to their advanced age, but without a successor, the firm ceased operations.  Hartmut Sammet subsequently founded Scheibe Aircraft GmbH in Heubach, taking over maintenance of existing Scheibe aircraft, and the manufacturing rights to the Scheibe SF 25. The RAF 2000 is a two-seat kit built autogyro that was designed by Bernard J. Haseloh.  Kits were first manufactured by Rotary Air Force Marketing Inc. in Canada.  The marketing and manufacturing rights were sold to the Mocke Family in Upington, Northern Cape, South Africa in April 2007. Trnavské automobilové závody (TAZ) was an automobile manufacturer in Trnava, Slovakia, that produced cars between 1973 and 1999.  When the company folded the manufacturing rights to the van TAZ 1500 (earlier Škoda 1203) was bought by Ocelot Auto.  TAZ was one part of the Škoda-Factories.  Before the production of the 1203/1500, TAZ was a producer of automobile-parts and home appliances manufacturer. Servel was an American manufacturer of heating and cooling appliances, founded in 1922. In 1915 John Browning patented a pump-action shotgun with the following features: hammerless, under-loading, tubular-magazine, bottom-ejecting, and take-down.  This design would eventually become the Remington Model 17.  Manufacturing rights were sold to Remington Arms shortly after, but due to the production efforts of World War I, Remington was unable to begin manufacturing until 1921.  Before production began John Pedersen made alterations to the design, with more changes made later by G.H. Garrison.  The Model 17 was a trim, 20-gauge shotgun that served as the design basis for three highly successful shotguns: the Remington Model 31, the Ithaca 37 and the Browning BPS.  Additionally, features of the Model 17 were also incorporated in the later Mossberg 500 and Remington 870. Armbrust (German: "Crossbow") is a lightweight unguided anti-tank weapon designed and developed by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm of Germany, who later sold its manufacturing rights to Chartered Industries of Singapore (the predecessor of ST Kinetics).
