PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Refrigerating Apparatus.
We, HERBERT WILLIAM BINDON, Butcher, of 46 High Street, Lewisham in
the County of Kent, and SIDNEY BINDON, Butcher, of 16 Loughborough Road,
Brixton in the County of Surrey do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide a simple cooling or refrigerating
apparatus specially suitable for use in restaurants, butchers and other shops where.
it is necessary or desirable to preserve exposed articles of food in constant demand,
in good condition and ready for use.
In one form of apparatus constructed according to this invention a tray or
containing vessel is divided into any convenient number of compartments, say for
example, three, by vertical transverse partitions or division plates and in one or both
of the outer compartments so formed, ice is placed whilst the central one, which
may be placed in from the top or made to draw out from either side or end, forms
a suitable receptacle for a tray in which articles to be preserved are deposited, the
water from the ice as it melts having free access to flow round the bottom and sides
of the said central compartment.
The top of the principal tray or containing vessel is closed by one or more
covering slabs or lids preferably of glass, which rest upon suitable ledges on or in
the said tray and which serve for the reception of additional articles, the ice in the
tray beneath preserving such articles in a cool and good condition.
A drawing off tap is provided in the principal tray for regulating the amount of
water therein.
