lCE-WATER RECEPTACLE.
A SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 444,013, dated January 6, 1891.
Application iiled January 19, 1887. Serial No. 224,740. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
.I e it known that I, HOWARD PADDOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice-Water Receptacles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in pitchers or receptacles for ice-water, and has for its object to provide for filtering the water from impurities contained within it and within the ice employed for cooling it. For the accomplishment of this purpose I have devised the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure l represents a central vertical section of an ice-pitcher embodying one form of my invention. Fig. 2 represents, partially broken away, a side elevation of the interior receptacle. Fig. 3 represents a bottom plan view of the same. Fig. 4 represents a top interior sectional view of the main body of the pitcher and its receptacle on line 4 1l of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 represents a horizontal section of the inner receptacle on the line 5 5 of Fig. l. Fig. 6 represents an enlarged vertical section of the lower portion of the inner receptacle. Fig. 7 represents a central vertical section of an ice-pitcher embodying another form of my invention, and Fig. S represents a sectional detail view of a portion of the same. l
In the form of myinvention shown on Sheet 1, A indicates a water-pitcher, of any desired form and material, provided with the usual cover B and iianged opening C, having the customary bevel f, as shown,for the purpose of returning any water which may ow out into the iiange during the tilting of the pitcher.
Within the body of the pitcher and separated therefrom by an intervening space is located an interior receptacle D of noncorro sive metal or other material, preferably porcelain, earthenware, or the like. The edge of this receptacle is preferably beveled to corre spond with the bevel of the iianged opening, and at its lower portion it is provided with the internal iiange or shoulder E. Below this flange the external diameter of the receptacle is somewhat ,lessened and upon thelower end is shrunk or otherwise attached the metallic band or annulus F. The exterior surface of this band is channeled, as shown at CZ CZ cl2 d3, so as to form right-angled grooves for the reception of pins Z Z Z2 Z3,'pro jecting inwardly from the Walls of the pitchercasing, the grooves and pins forming a bayonet-joint. In the upper portion of the pitchercasing is located a spring g, attached to the wall of the casing, and within the exterior surface of the inner receptacle D is made a notch h, withi n which said spring engages when the bayonet-joint is complete. The spring g and a notch h form a lock for the bayonetjoint, to prevent accidental rotation of the receptacle D, but is sufficiently flexible to yield and pass out of the notch when the inner receptacle is rotated by hand for the purpose of uncoupling the joint when desired.
In the lower portion or bottom of the receptacle I), which is open, as shown, is located the water strainer or filter. This consists, preferably, of two casings G and H, one inverted over the other and abutting against the under side of the iianged shoulder E. Pivoted stops K K K2 K3, attached to the lower edge of receptacle D, retain the casings G H in place, said stops being adapted to be turned aside, so as to release the filter when desired in order that the latter may be taken out and cleaned, as occasion may require.
rBetween the' casings G and II is contained the filtering material, which consists, first, of a piece of canvas m, resting upon the perforated bottom of the casing G. Upon this can vas is placed a layer of gravel n, and upon the upper surface of the gravel a thin sieve o, supporting a body of charcoal p. Upon the charcoal is superposed a second sieve q, and between the latter sieve and the perforated top of the casing Il is located an 'additional layer of gravel r. The weight of the inner receptacle is borne, preferably, upon a num- IOO ber of basal supports Y Y Yi. Obviously other suitable filtering material maybe enr ployed.
The operation ol' my invention is as follows: The filtering material being first duly arranged within the casings G I'I in the order described and illust-rated, said casings are inserted within the lower end of the inner receptacle D, which has been previously re moved from the pitcher for that purpose. The stops K K', tbe., are then turned, so as to prevent the filter from falling out, and the receptacle is then inserted within the body of the pitcher. The pins Z l', ttc., enter the vertical portions of the grooves upon the exterior of ther band F, and the receptacle bcing then revolved the pins enter the horizon` tal portions ot said grooves. IVhen they reach the extremity ofthe grooves, the spring o enters the notch 71, thereby preventing the accidental rotation of the receptacle D in the opposite direction. rlhe water is poured in at the top opening of the pitcher, and together with the ice occupies the inner receptacle D. It passes then through the filter at the bottom of the receptacle and rises in the space between the receptacle and the body of the pitcher, as represented in Fighbeing thoroughly strained and purified during the operation. Tihen it is desired to remove the .receptacle I) from within the pitcher in order to cleanse or renew the filter, the same may be accomplished by rotating the receptacle D by hand in thc opposite direction,whereupon the spring g is forced out of the notch 7L and the bayonet-joint at the bottom of the receptacle disengaged. The receptacle D may be at once removed.
The function of the pins Z l', dsc., is not only to prevent the receptacle D from falling out of the pitcher when the latter is inverted, but also to retain the said receptacle in a lixed relationship to the pitcher-wall by forming lat-eral supports, thereby relieving it from side strains, which would otherwise have a tendency to fracture it.
In the form of my invention shown upon Sheet 2 the main body A2 of the pitcher is provided at its upper portion with aprojecting flange C', forming a support for a corresponding fla-nge L upon the upper rim of the inner receptacle D. Bayonet-grooves are formed in the flange C and in the lugs or projections R R', extending below said flange. IVithin these grooves engage the pins or studs E E2, projecting from the inner receptacle. In the position shown in Fig. 7 the pins rest at the bottoni ofthe vertical portions of the grooves. By rotating the receptacle D toward the right the pins enter the horizontal portions of the grooves, and on reaching the end of said horital portions a notch B', made in the flange C', cornes in alignment with a lug a., projecting from the lower rim of the cover L. Upon closing the cover the lug a cnt-ers the notch B', thereby locking the bayonet-joint until the cover is raised. A ledge n has the same function as the ledge lil, already described in connection with the rstpforni of my invention. The casing for the filtering material is likewise preferably made ot two receptacles P and R2, inverted one above the other. In this instance, however, the receptacle I is somewhat extended beyond R2, and bolts S S passing through l. and M, retain the filter 1 n place. The filtering medium chosen 1n thls case consists merely of layers of sand with an intermediate layer of charcoal and separating-screens.
To the bottom of the receptacle R72 is attached a plate Il", having a pivot-pin G resting within a socket Il', thereby facilitating the rotation of the receptacle lil in making and unconpling the bayonet-joint at R R'. It also relieves the receptacle M from side strains when the pitcher is tilted, forming, in fact, a basal support for the said receptacle, which also prevents its lateral movement.
A removable hood I?, having atlange resting upon thc ledge C ot the pitcher, is provided for the purpose of preventing the contents ol the inner receptacle from overflowing when the pitcher is tilted.
Obviously the pins or studs forming one element ot' the bayonet-joint may project from either the interior receptacle or thc body ol' the pitcher, providing the grooves are corre spondingly located opposite them. It is also evident that the relation of the slot B and projection a may be reversed and the same result attained. These and like changes within the scope of my invention, as hereinafter claimed, I contemplate making in some instances, although for most purposes I prefer the construction shown in the drawings.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
l. In a water-pitcher, the combination, with an cpeibbottomed interior receptacle, of a filter fitting therein and supported directly from the body of the pitcher, whereby the weight of the contents of the inner receptacle rests directly upon the body of the pitcher and not upon the walls of the inner receptacle.
2. In awater-pitcher, the combination, with the body, of the inner receptacle separated therefrom by an intervening space, said inner receptacle being' suspended from the upper rim of the body and supported at its lower edge against lateral movement, whereby when the pitcher is tilted the strain upon the inner receptacle is counteracted.
3. In a water-pitcher, the combination, with the body of the pitcher, of an inner receptacle connected with the body by a bayonet-joint and a lock for locking the bayonet-joint, all substantially as described.
4. In a water-pitcher, the combination, with the body, of the inner receptacle separated therefrom by an intervening space, the said inner receptacle being supported from the bottom, and also against vertical and lateral movement, all substantially as described.
