On this date in 1891, inventor J. Standard (sometimes referred to as John Standard) was awarded a patent US455891A for his non-electrical refrigerator design. This refrigerator used an ice chamber for cooling, making it an important step in the development of refrigeration technology. His design was an improvement over earlier models and contributed to the evolution of refrigeration before the widespread use of electric-powered refrigerators.
It was one of the early innovations in household cooling technology, paving the way for future advances in refrigeration.
