page_text: I, WHITELEY. WARD TAMPLIN, of 28, Heath Crescent, Halifax, in the County
of York Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of wine bins more
especially designed for use in private houses, clubs and hotels the object being to
construct a bin in sections or frames which will fit one on top of another so
that a bin of any size can be built up leaving the bottles always open to inspection
and accessible to hand. By using a bin of this construction, in case of removal
the wine can easily be taken away without greatly disturbing the bottles by
simply taking off one section at a time until the whole is removed.
According to this invention I employ two light iron castings which form the
two ends of the section or frame. The castings have a groove in them, at each
end for the reception of two lengths of wood which are placed in the grooves and
secured by screws thereby constituting the sides of the frame, the said lengths
of wood having a number of grooves or hollows formed in them for the bottles
to rest in. The top of each casting has a recess extending across it and the
bottom of the castings have a projecting surface which coincides with the recess
in the top of the castings so that when one frame is placed on the top of
another they fit securely and rigidly together. The frames may be made any
length or width so as to hold various numbers and sizes of bottles. In event
of a very long frame being required it might be made with a division in the
centre to stiffen it the division being preferably formed from a casting similar
to two of the end castings placed back to back.

I, WHITELEY WARD TAMPLIN, of 28, Heath Crescent, Halifax, in the County
of York, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of wine bins
more especially designed for use in private houses, clubs, hotels,
the object being to construct a bin in sections or frames which will fit
one on top of another so that a bin of any size can be built up leaving the bottles
always open to inspection and accessible to hand. By using a bin of this con-
[Price 8d.]

page_text: struction, in case of removal the wine can easily be taken away without greatly
disturbing the bottles by simply taking off one section at a time until the whole
is removed.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying draw-
ings, in which :-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the improved wine bin composed of two sections
or frames only.
Fig. 2 is a sectional end view of Fig. 1
Fig. 3 is a plan view of part of one of the frames or sections.
According to this invention I employ two light iron castings or other metal
end pieces 1, 2 which form the two ends of the section or frame. The castings 1,
2 have a groove 3 in them at each end for the reception of two lengths of
wood 4, 4 which are placed in the grooves 3, 3 and secured by screws 5, 5 or
otherwise, thereby constituting the sides of the frame, the said lengths of wood 4,
4 having a number of grooves or hollows 66 formed in them for the bottles to
rest in. The top 7 of each casting 1, 2 has a recess such as 8 extending across it,
and the bottom 9 of the castings 1, 2 have a projecting surface 10 which coincides
with the recess 8 in the top of the castings 1, 2 so that when one frame is placed
on the top of another they fit securely and rigidly together (see Figs. 1 and 2).
The frames or sections may be made any length or width so as to hold various
numbers and sizes of bottles and any desired number of the frames may be placed
one on top of another. In event of a very long frame being required it might
be made with a division in the centre to stiffen it, the divisions being preferably
formed from a casting similar to two of the end castings placed back to back.
It will be obvious that instead of the lengths of wood 4, 4, corrugated metal
strips may be substituted.
The grooves or hollows 6, 6 in one of the strips 4 are preferably larger than the
grooves or hollows in the strip 4 and the body of the bottle rests in the larger
hollow or groove and the neck in the smaller one.
Wine bins made in accordance with this invention can be built up to any
size, and can also be easily and quickly unstacked, and at the same time access
may be had to the bottles on any particular section or frame.
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:-
-
(1) The improved wine bin constructed of a series of sections or frames as and
for the purpose herein described and substantially as illustrated by the annexed
drawings.
(2) The end pieces or castings, 1, 2, connected by the corrugated or hollowed
out strips 4, 4 the recesses 8 in the tops of the end pieces and the projections 10
in the bottoms of same, as and for the purpose herein described and substantially
as illustrated by the annexed drawings.
(3) The combinations of a series of corrugated strips or holders for bottles
with supporting frames having projections and recesses adapted to fit into or
receive other like frames for the purpose of erecting a series or stack of the said
frames one on top of another.
