EFFIE BECKWGRTRH,. OF SAN iIMARCOS, TEXAS.
SUPPORTING-BRACKET FOR FREEZING DEVICES.1,045,932.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 3, 1912.
Application filed larch 29, 1912. Serial No. 687,119.To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, EFFIE B ECKwoRTn,
a citizen of the United States, residing at
San Marcos, in the county of Hays and
5 State of Texas, have invented new and use-
fil Tfin)rovements in Supporting-Brackets
for Freezing Dexvices, of which the follow-
ing is a specification.
An object of the invention is. to provide
1q supporting brackets for freezing devices, the
device being particularly adapted for freez-
ing. fluids which, when solidified, will be
edible.
The invention embodies, more particu-
15 larly, a casing adapted to contain a frame
having brackets for removably supporting a
series of containers adapted to contain
fluidsor substances which, when frozen, will-
be edible, the containers being separately re-
20 movable from the frame. -
In the further disclosure of the invention
reference is to be had to the accompanying
drawings, constituting a part of this speci-
fication, in which similar characters of ref-
25 erence denote corresponding parts in all the
views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view show-
ing the casing and cover of the device; Fig.
2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the
30 line 2-2 in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary
enlarged sectional view showing the man-
ner of mounting the .containers; and Fig. 4
is a perspective view of the holder for sup-
porting the containers.
35 Referring more particularly to the views,
use issmaile of a casing 10, provided with a
corer 1.1 and mounted within the casing is
a frame 12 comprising a base 1-3'and a. stand-
ard 14 provided at the upper end thereof
40 with a handle 15, the standard., 14 being
preferably threadeclly cohnected to the base
1.3 and the side of the base being preferably
inclined to conform to the inclination of the
side of the casing to that when the base is
45 mounted within the casing the standard 14
will be held in vertical position relatively-to
the casigig.
A. 1pluraliy of brackets 16 are provided
with threaded ends .1 for mounting the
50 brackets upon the standard 14 so that the
brackets will extend laterally from the
standard, the mentioned brackets being pro-
vided with longitudinally extending slots 1S
and having the outer ends 19 thereof pro-
55 vided with apertures 20. A holder 21 is
mounted upon each bracket 16 and theholder consists, more substantially, of a
single piece of material 22 having a sup-
porting ring 2 formed at the outer end
thereof. the mealtioneid holder further em--6C
bodying a shank 24 terminating at the inner
ead in a laterally extending portion 25 pro-
vided with an enlarged head 26. Each
holder 21 is mounted upon. the respective
brackets 16 by first positioning the holder 6
at right angles to the slot 18 of the bracket
to permit of passing the head 26 through
the slot, after which the holder is swung
longitudinally to the bracket and can then
be slid on the bracket for the purpose of 70
adjusting the length. of the holder relative
to the bracket, the shank 24 of the holder
being provided with a series of apertures
27, one of which is adapted to register with
the aperture 20 in the bracket 16, after 75
which a suitable cotter-pin 28 is passed
through the aperture in the holder and
through the. aperture in the bracket, thus
readily securing the holder to the bracket, it
being understood that the, cotter-pin 28 can go
be removed' and the -holder adjusted upon
the bracket so that another aperture in the
holder will register with the aperture in
the bracket, the cotter-pin being then re-
1-placed to secure the holder to the bracket. 85
The supporting ring 23 of each holder 21 is
adapted to receive and support a container
29, the said container being frusto-conical
in shape and. having mounted to swing
thereon a closure )0 provided' with i spri rg- 9o
like . catch 31 for securing the closure in
closed position on the container. The holders
21, having the.containers 2 inouiited there-
on, are preferably arranged on the standard
14 in tiers a, b, c, the brackets in the tier b be- 95
big arranged-in staggered relation relative to
th( brackets in the tiers a and c, on the stand-
ard 14 and the holders in the tier b being
adjusted relative to the holders in the tiers
a and c so that the containers on the holders 1
in the tier b will be arranged closer to the
stamhird 14 than the containers on the hold-
'ers in the tiers a., and c, the mentioned ar-
rangreient ing b accomplished by aidjvrst-
ing ihe holders relative to the brackets as 105
imeutiojned heretofore, thus permitting ai
l11 rgeu nmber of continners to bemounted
ilpon the stamidat'd than would be the case
if tie bratkets iand holders in the various
tiers were arranged in a symmetrical rela- 110
tio1.
