page_text: I JAMES MURRELL of No 6 Chenery Street St Margarets; Ipswich, in the County
of Suffolk, Mineral Water Maker and Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of
my invention, which I now describe :-
It is made of galvanized or tined hoop iron, of various thickness and widths,
according to the size of the wheel, which is bent to form an half hexagon shapes,
and when they are rivetted together do then form bexagon partitions to receive
the bottles, and has for its object a large number of bottles can be soaked at
once, in a small circumference, as the partitions resemble, a honey comb, which is
shewn in the drawing, the wheel is screwed and rivetted to a cast: iron hexagon
centre block, with a wrought iron spindle in the centre of same, to work in two
bearings inside the tank, the wheel made in two halfs, one half is rivetted to
each end of the hexagon centre block, with straps across to bind them together,
and make the wheel strong, the drawing describe the front view of "wheel, and
side view of the two halfs, on centre block with cross straps to connect thein
together, and two peices of hoop iron bent and holes drilled, ready to put together.

page_text: I JAMES MURRELL of No 6 Chenery Street, St. Margarets, Ipswich in the County
of Suffolk, Mineral Water Maker and Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of
my invention for SOAKING AND STORING OF BOTTLES, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-.
This apparatus is made with black, galvanized or tinned hoop iron of various
widths and thickness, as may be desired in the construction of various sizes, to be
as follows
1st The hoop iron is bent to form half bexagon shapes, in various lengths with
holes drilled in the centres of same to receive rivets..
2nd By placing two lengths of hoop iron already bent and drilled together
and riveted, will then form complete hexagon partitions, as shown in the
drawings Fig. 3.
3rd Then place two more lengths already riveted together by the side of the one
just mentioned, will then form two halves with a space in between them and have
narrow hoop iron straps riveted across to bind the two halves together; the back
half to support the bottom part of the bottles, and the front half to support the
shoulders of same, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2: and,-by riveting various
lengths of hoop iron bent and drilled ready, on top of back and front halfs. They
can be made any shape that may be desired, the wheel is made with a cast iron
hexagon block, with a spindle in centre to revolve in two bearings, as shown in
drawings Figure 1: and, by leaving out the cast iron hexagon centre block and
spindle, which is shown in drawings Figure 5; this apparatus may be used as bins
for storing purposes, the object of my invention which I claim is that a large
number of bottles can be soaked or stored in a small space; the device according
to my Invention being made on the honey comb principle.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents front view of portion of wheel.

to bind the front and back together.,

page_text: Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The way and manner in which the hoop iron is bent, and riveted together and
form hexagon partitions, resembling cells like the honey comb in the bee hive, and.
I now conclude by observing that what I claim as my invention may be secured to
me, for soaking and storing of bottles.
In witness whereof I the said James Murrell have hereunto set my hand this
thirteenth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and eighty six.
JAMES MURRELL.
