Improvements in Apparatus for Cooling Beer and other Liquids.
I, HENRY GOODCHILD PRICE, of 39, Regency Street, Westminster, in the County
of Middlesex, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for cooling beer and other
liquids, and is designed with the object of providing means whereby liquids can
be conducted through coil pipes situated in a cooling chamber, in such a manner
as to thoroughly cool such liquids during their passage from the cellar or other
storage place to the bar or other place where they are drawn off.
By this means, beer and other liquids can be drawn off direct from barrels
or other receptacles in a perfectly cool and refreshing condition, without the
necessity of employing expensive and extraneous cooling means hitherto neces-
sary.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of
illustrative drawings, wherein:-
Fig. 1, is a plan view of the cooling chamber constructed according to the
present invention, the cover being removed therefrom, and Fig. 2, is a side view
of same, partly in section.
Referring to the drawings wherein like letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts wherever occurring in both figures, a is a cooling chamber or ice
chest having a lining a¹ of zinc, lead, or other suitable metal or material.
Within this cooling chamber or ice chest are arranged any suitable number of
coils b the ends of which communicate with nozzles on the outside of the said
cooling chamber. The ends of the pipes which are usually employed to convey
the liquid from the storage place to the drawing off engine or its equivalent, are
connected to the said nozzles in any suitable manner.
The cooling chamber or ice chest a is packed with ice d or with any suitable
freezing chemicals or mixture for the purpose of cooling the liquid passing through
the coils b.
Any suitable number of these cooling chambers or ice chests may be employed,
and although the arrangement of the coils shewn is a convenient one, yet I do not
limit myself to the precise form illustrated, but may vary same as found desirable
or convenient, without departing from the spirit of this invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The improvements in apparatus for cooling liquids, consisting essentially in a
cooling chamber a, having a lining a', within which chamber are situated coiled
pipes whose ends communicate with nozzles projecting from the outside of the
said cooling chamber, which nozzles are designed to be connected with the liquid

page_text: supply pipes, said chamber being adapted to receive ice or other suitable cooling
medium, substantially as herein before described, and as illustrated by the
drawings.
