page_text: We, CILARLES HENRY TASMAN and ALICE MARIAN TASMAN, both of 40, Baltic
Street, Golden Lane, E.C., in the County of London, Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to provide means for loading or supplying cold
rooms or refrigerators with ice without opening the door and to obviate the
necessity of removing any of the contents for the purpose of re-charging with ice
as has heretofore been the case.
And to carry our invention into effect we construct our improved cold rooms
as follows:
The general arrangement of the cold room is similar to that known as the
"Tasman for which letters patent were granted to William Howlin No. 7848,
1889 but instead of the person supplying the ice to the cold room having to
open the door and go inside to stack the ice upon the shelf provided for it, we
construct an ice door through the end of the cold room in a position arranged at
the end of the ice shelf. This door preferably opens outwards so that when
charging or re-charging is required all that is necessary is to open this ice door
and slide the blocks of ice in and re-close the ice door without opening the main
door and letting the warm air in or having to disturb any of the contents. Suit-
able arrangements are made for supporting the ice on a perforated shelf to keep
the ice clear from the water caused by its melting and means for collecting and
draining away the water are provided similar to the arrangement described in the
beforementioned William Howlin's Patent No. 7848, 1889.
Dated this 23rd day of Februanr 1800.
We, CHARLES HENRY TASMAN and ALICE MARIAN TASMAN, both of 40, Baltic
Street, Golden Lane E.C., in the County of London Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
-
The object of our invention is to provide means for loading or supplying cold
rooms or refrigerators with ice without opening the door and to obviate the

page_text: necessity of removing any of the contents for the purpose of recharging with the
ice as has heretofore been the case.
And to carry our invention into effect we construct our improved cold rooms
as follows:
Reference being made to the accompanying drawings.
The general arrangements of the cold room A and its internal fittings is
similar to that known as the "Tasman" for which letters patent were granted
to William Howlin, No. 7848, 1889 but instead of the person supplying the ice
to the cold room having to open the door B and go inside to stack the ice upon
the shelf provided for it, we construct an ice door C through the end of the cold
room in a position arranged at the end of the ice shelf. This door preferably
opens outwards so that when charging or re-charging is required all that is
necessary is to open this ice door C and slide the blocks of ice in and re-close the
ice door without opening the main door B and letting the warm air in or having
to disturb any of the contents.
Suitable internal arrangements are made for supporting the ice on a perforated
shelf to keep the ice clear from the water caused by its melting and means for
collecting and drawing away the water are provided similar to that described
in the hereinbefore mentioned Howlin's Patent.
The drawing shows a small sized cold room with one ice shelf only and it is
obvious that with a larger size with main door in the centre and an ice shelf on
either side an ice door would be provided for each shelf similar to the one shown.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
_claim is:.
-
1. The use in combination with cold rooms having internally-fitted-shelf-or
shelves for supporting ice of a door suitably arranged at the end of the said shelf
or shelves so that the charging or re-charging-with-ice_may_be_performed from
the outside without opening the main door of the cold room.
2. The improved cold room substantially as herein described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.
