This cart is intended for serving iced or cool drinks outdoors and especially for

tinned inside; in the rear part is placed a slightly raised similar vessel containing
milk, and a similar one containing water. The middle part of the body of the cart

is removable for rinsing it. Similar arrangement may be provided for the water
vessel.

Hand Cart for Serving Iced Drinks Outdoors.
I, AUGUST HANSEN of 52 Nörrevoldgade Copenhagen Denmark Engineer 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:-
The cart is intended for serving iced or cool drinks outdoors and especially for
aërated waters and milk; one suitable form of the cart is shewn in the vertical
section Fig. 1, the plan section Fig. 2 and back end view Fig. 3. The body a of
the cart is made of wood and closed at the top; it has an inner casing or lining c
of zinc or the like and between the two there are spaces b which are filled with
rice husks or other suitable nonconductor of heat. Within the cart body in the

page_text: front part are placed one or more, in this case two, vessels d containing aërated
water; these vessels are conveniently made of copper thickly tinned inside; in the
rear part is placed a slightly raised similar vessel containing milk, and a similar
one containing water. The middle part of the body of the cart is occupied by
one or more, by preference as shewn two vessels k containing ice.
The aërated waters are drawn off by syphon pipes h with taps i in front, the
pipes forming the long legs of same and having taps e and union nuts g; a small
syrup tank or tanks g with taps p are provided for making lemonade. The milk
is drawn off from the tank by a tap o in front on a slanting pipe m leading to
the front and provided with tap n near said tank; this pipe is removable for
rinsing it. Similar arrangement may be provided. for the water vessel.
In front of the body of the vessel is arranged a glass rinsing apparatus consisting
of a vessel containing water wherein is placed a roses provided with an annulur
float, when a drinking glass is placed thereon upside down and depressed, the
rose is also depressed, and water squirts through the holes of the rose into the glass
and rinses it.
The cart is provided with hinged stays v¹ for holding the body straight and steady
while in use, and has shafts wo for drawing or pulling it by.
The front of the cart may be covered with marble y z. The back is closed by two
doors as shewn in Fig. 3.
From the foregoing it will be understood that aërated water syrupped or not, and
milk, or water, all in a cool fresh and clean condition for immediate consumption
can all be drawn off in a more convenient manner, and more to suit all tastes than
as heretofore from bottles and other containers; moreover the aërated waters can
be served at a cheaper rate and will be free from air to the last, as there will be
sufficient gas pressure to empty the vessels d.
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. A cart for serving iced drinks outdoors, comprising a body protected against
radiation and containing closed receptacles for drinking liquids, receptacles for ice
serving to cool said liquids and pipes and taps for drawing them off substantially
as. described and shown.
2. The cart with the receptacles pipes and taps and provided with the glass
rinsing trough and rose with float all arranged as shown, on the drawing:
