I EDWARD SAMUEL GEORGE, of 23 King Street Reading, in the County of Berks.,
Confectioner 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 :---
My invention relates to an improved ice receptacle and has for its object the
production of an ornamental and portable appliance for containing ice cream or the
like, and maintaining the necessary refrigeration.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I have appended
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a sectional plan of
the improved receptacle, upon the line A B, Figure 2, which represents a sectional
elevation thereof, Figure 3 is an elevational view of the complete apparatus ; similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.
One
In carrying my said invention into effect I employ an external case (which may
be oval, as shewn in the drawings or of any other suitable configuration, and preferably
made of metal, although I do not confine myself to this but may employ any material
that may be suitable. Within the outer case C is a second or lining case, C³, with an
air space a a a intervening. Said inner case C¹ may be made double, as shewn by
the sectional views Figures 1 and 2, and the space bbb filled in with a suitable
non-conductor of heat, or may be made entirely of wood or other similar material, in
which case it is preferably made singly so that the space bbb does not exist.
or more vessels or chambers D D D are provided for the reception of the ice cream,
or other liquid, semi-liquid or solid that is required to be kept cold. The space c c c
between the inner case C₁ and the vessels or chambers D D D" is filled with ice or
other freezing mixture, and I may, when necessary provide a tap or cock for the
purpose of drawing off the ice water therefrom, for serving or otherwise. Said
vessels or chambers D D¹ D" are fitted in the top plate or cover d, and are provided
with lids e e e Figure 3, of any shape and configuration.
The improved receptacle, as shewn by Figure 3 is adapted to stand upon a table or
counter.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
In an improved ice receptacle the employment of two cases, C and C¹ with an
intervening space a in combination with one or more vessels or chambers D, D¹ D",
substantially as and for the purposes herein described and shewn by the appended
drawings.
