A Window Refrigerator

A Box Fitted on the Outside of the Window to Slide in Grooves Provides a Convenient and Inexpensive Refrigerator for Winter Use

A simple method of constructing a window refrigerator that will not obstruct the light is shown in the illustration. A box was made the width of the window and was fitted to slides fastened outside the window on the side of the house. The exposed sides of the box were inclosed completely and the inner side was provided with two sliding doors. A handle was fitted to the side of the box so that, by reaching out of the window, the box could be drawn in front of the opening easily. Several shelves were fitted into it and the materials stored were not easily molested. Trunk casters attached to the bottom of the box improved the action on the lower rail.—Hubert Kann, Pittsburgh, Pa.
