PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Cooling Air for Use in Refrigerating.
1, MOSES STANBROOK, of 2 Delorme Street, Fulham Palace Road, in the County
of London, Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is for refrigerating or cold storage rooms, for the
preservation of meat, game, fish, poultry, or any like perishable article that may
be required to be kept in a dry cool room, for the purpose of preserving the article
in its then present condition.
My invention can be fitted up as a room, or part of a room for refrigerating
purposes, or it may be constructed in the form of a box, for the convenience of
moving the same from place to place, according to the requirements.
My invention may be constructed with or without an outer case, according to
the purpose the refrigerator is intended for.
The refrigerator is constructed, by forming a box of wood supported on legs,
being enclosed at the top and each of the sides, with the exception of one or more
sides, which has one or more openings, at the top to permit the warm air to enter
and descend downwards through the ice, the whole of the interior of the apparatus
is lined with zinc, the bottom portion on which the ice rests on, are provided with
battens, or pieces of wood running from end to end of the bottom of the
apparatus, to act as an open grating to permit the ice water to drip or run through,
on to two or more series of sloping drips, each row above one another, constructed
of zinc, running from front to back, the said drips being angle shape flat or other-
wise the point uppermost, placed in a row, to allow the water to run off into a
series of sloping gutters V shape, under the said angle shaped drips formed into
the shape of a drawer to slide in or out, the said gutters which slope towards the
back portion of the refrigerator, the water being run into the main gutter con-
structed the whole length of the back of the apparatus, to carry the waste water
off into a waste pipe.
I provide also a revolving fan driven by pulleys and endless belts from a steam
engine, electric apparatus, or by any other power. This said fau may be placed
in the ice safe or outside, or in any other suitable position.
The ice is laid at the top of the wood battens or open grating and termed the
ice receptical.
The apparatus is provided with an opening at the top side to permit the warm
air to descend, and pass through the ice, and the open bottom or grating, and out
at the bottom.
Air spaces are provided between and above. the drips, and gutters, these spaces
being regulated according to the size of the apparatus, which aforesaid apparatus
may be made any size or shape.

page_text: 1, MOSES STANBROOK, of 2 Delorme Street, Fulham Palace Road, in the
County of London, Builder, 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 object of my invention is for refrigerating or cold storage rooms, for the
preservation of meat, game, fish, poultry, or any like perishable article that may
be required to be kept in a dry cool room, for the purpose of preserving the
article in its then present condition.
My invention can be fitted up as a room, or part of a room for refrigerating
purposes, or it may be constructed in the form of a box, for the convenience of
moving the same from place to place, according to the requirements.
This invention may be constructed with or without an outer case, according to
the purpose the refrigerator is intended for.
The refrigerator is constructed by forming a box of wood supported on
legs, being enclosed at the top and each of the sides, with the exception
of one or more sides, which has one or more openings at the top to permit the
warm air to enter and descend downwards through the ice, the whole of the
interior of the apparatus is lined with zinc, the bottom portion on which the ice
rests on are provided with battens, or pieces of wood running from end to end of
the bottom of the apparatus to act as an open grating to permit the ice water to
drip or run through on to two or more series of sloping drips, each row above one
another, constructed of zinc running from front to back, the said drips being angle
shape flat or otherwise the point uppermost placed in a row to allow the water to
run off into a series of sloping gutters V shape, under, the said angle shaped drips
formed into the shape of a drawer to slide in or out, the said gutters which slope
towards the back portion of the refrigerator, the water being run into the main
gutter constructed the whole length of the back of the apparatus, to carry the
waste water off into a waste pipe.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a longitudinal section on line C D, of the plan of the apparatus, with
the ice box or receptacle o and the battens or grating e at the bottom are lined
with zinc c. The apparatus is fitted up with zinc drips; gutters k and the gutter,
also the waste water pipe h to discharge the water is of the same material. Legs i
are provided with the framing g and n.
.
Fig. 2, is a transverse section on line A B, of the plan of the apparatus, each
portion being described as on Fig. 1, with an opening a at the top front side for
the warm air to enter and descend through the ice, and openings in the bottom
of the apparatus, the said openings are indicated by arrows in line with the
front d.
Fig. 3, is a plan of the apparatus.
The series of sloping gutters and angled or curved shaped drips is formed into
a drawer to slide in or out of the frame work g, g.
I provide also a revolving fan a driven by pulleys and endless belts from a
steam engine, electric apparatus, or by any other power. This said fan a¹ may be
placed in the ice safe or outside, or in any other suitable position.

page_text: 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. In an apparatus for cooling air for use in refrigerating, the combination of
the various parts to form the apparatus, as above described in this specification
for the purpose specified.
2. In an apparatus for cooling air for use in refrigerating, the combination of
the apparatus with the sliding drawer and curved or angled shaped drips with the
revolving fan, fitted up as a room, or a part of a room, or constructed in the form
of a box for the convenience of moving the same, substantially as herein described
and according to the accompanying drawing.
3. In an apparatus for cooling air for use in refrigerating, the combination of
the apparatus fitted up with tiers of flat or any other shape drips, with one or
more gutters and constructed of a movable size, substantially as herein described.
