by removing the plug from the drain-outlet.
The evaporation of the water as it passes.
through the large area of exposed fabric is
quite great and the surrounding air is cooled
5 thereby, resulting in a rapid cooling of the
milk.
The construction of the present invention
is such that the standards, shelves, top tray,
and pail can be taken apart very easily, thus
1o permittingpackingof the device into compact
form when desired, while the shelves can be
adjusted to suit milk pails or pans of different
sizes, and the construction is both strong and
capacious.
15 Having thus described my invention, what
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters
Patent, is-
1. In a milk-cooler, the combination with a
bottom tray and a top tray, both of which are
20 provided with bent edges and prongs secured
between said bent edges and the tray itself,
standards rising from the bottom tray and de-
tachably connected to it and to the top tray,
shelves secured to said standards, and a cap-
25 illary-feed fabric having its upper and loweredges engaged with the prongs on the top and
bottom trays, respectively.
2. In a milk-cooler, the combination with a
bottom tray and a top tray, both of which have
stub-standards and are provided with bent 30
edges and prongs secured between said bent
edges and the tray itself,standards rising from
the bottom tray and telescoping with the stub-
standards on top and bottom trays, a capil-
lary-feed fabric having its upper and lower 35
ends engaged with the prongs on the top and
bottom trays, and shelves having apertures
through which the standards loosely pass,
whereby the shelves' can be adjusted on the
standards, .and provided with set - screws 40
which are threaded through the shelves and
are adapted to be screwed against the stand-
ards to bind thereon and clamp the shelves
thereto.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my 45
signature in presence of two witnesses.
