page_text: I, DAVID BURNESS WALKER of Poynernook Road, Aberdeen N.B.. Fish
Curer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement upon the subject of my Patent
No. 19077 of 11th Oct. 1895.
In accordance with my present improvements I form the door or entrance into
the cold air chamber, at the side or end of the refrigerator instead of at the top
thereof. I construct the top of the outside box and also the metal cold air
chamber inside, closed, the only opening, in accordance with my present improve-
ments, being at the said door at the side of the refrigerator. In order to provide
the said side door, I make the space between the outer wooden casing and the cold
air chamber water tight all round the said side door. There may be a side door in
the outside wooden casing and a corresponding door in the side of the inner cold
air chamber the space for the refrigeratoring material which is between the two
casings being made water tight all round the said side doors as aforesaid. Or I
may provide one door of the same thickness as that of the space between the
outside wooden casing and the side of the inner cold air chainber.. Thus in
accordance with my present improvement the refrigeratoring material surrounds
the top, bottom, ends and sides of the refrigerator with exception of the space
occupied by the said side door. The object of the said side door is that access to
the cold air chamber is made easier.
Dated this 1st day of May 1896.

I, DAVID BURNESS WALKER of Poynernook Road Aberdeen, N.B. do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention relates to an improvement upon the refrigerator described in the
Specification of my Patent No. 19077 of 11th October, 1895 which may be used
by fishmongers, butchers, hotel keepers and others or keeping anything of a
perishable nature, or for keeping articles cool in summer time; tae said refrigerator
being either made portable or as a fixture.
In accordance with my present improvements I form the door or entrance into
the cold air chamber, at the side of the end of the refrigerator instead of at the
top thereof. I construct the metal cold air chamber D inside, closed, the only

page_text: opening, in accordance with my present improvements, being at the said door at
the side of the refrigerator; an opening being left on the top of the outside box
for the purpose of charging same with refrigerating material. In order to provide
the said side door, I make the space between the outer wooden casing and the cold
air chamber water tight all round the said side door.
But in order that my said invention may be more readily understood and easily
carried into effect I will proceed to describe the same with reference to the
accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is an elevation
Fig. 2 a plan and
Fig. 3 a section of my improved refrigerator.
Referring to the said drawings 1 employ a strong wooden box A within which I
mount a metal tank or box B having its service opening 6 situated at the side
thereof; the outer box or casing A being provided with a side door a. In order
to provide the said side door a I make the space between the outer wooden casing A
and the cold air chamber B water tight all round the sile service opening b. The
box A is provided at the top thereof with a hinged lid a' for the purpose of
charging the same with refrigerating material.
There may be a side door in the outside wooden casing and a corresponding door
in the side of the inner cold air chamber, the space for the refrigerating material
which is between the two casings being made water tight all round the said side
doors as aforesaid. Or I may provide one door of the same thickness as that
of the space between the outside wooden casing and the side of the inner cold air
chamber.
Thus in accordance with my present improvements the refrigerating material
surrounds the top, bottom, ends and sides of the refrigerator with the exception of
the space occupied by the said side door. The object of the said side door is that
access to the cold air chamber is made easier.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The general arrangement and construction of the various parts constituting
my improved refrigerator, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
2. Providing a service opening or door b at the side of the inner cold air
chamber B, access to which is obtained by the door a in the outer box or casing A,
as described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
