PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottoms for Cheese Tubs, applicable to other
analogous purposes.
I, JAMES BAZELEY PETTER of The Nautilus Works, Yeovil, in the County-
of Somerset, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the bottoms of cheese tubs or other
tubs or vessels or the like to which my present invention is applicable.
Taking the case of cheese tubs :-Heretofore the bottoms of these have usually
been made either flat or concave and in either case-but especially with these-
concave bottoms-at the point where the bottom connects to the side wall of the.
tub etc. a sharp corner is formed which has many drawbacks not the least of which
is the difficulty of access to thoroughly clean out said corner.
Now my present improvements consist in making the bottom convex round its
outer edge i.e. the edge of the bottom is curved or turned upwards all round so
as to make a joint with the side wall a little way from the bottom of the tub at an
obtuse angle instead of as heretofore at an acute angle or right angle.
The central part of this improved bottom may be flat or raised (for instance concave
so as to give practically the same effect as the concave bottoms heretofore used) thus
I am enabled to obtain the benefits of the concave bottom heretofore used without
its disadvantages and drawbacks at the point where same meets the side wall of the
tub etc.
These cheese tubs etc. may be, formed of tinned iron or copper or any other
suitable material or combination of materials.

I, JAMES BAZELEY PETTER of The Nautilus Works, Yeovil, in the County
of Somerset, 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
iu and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in the bottoms of cheese tubs or other

tub etc. a sharp corner is formed which has many drawbacks not the least of which
is the difficulty of access to thoroughly clean out said corner.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings I have illustrated-a cheese tub constructed
according to my present invention.
a is the edge of the bottom which latter is raised or concave in the centre at b
and convex at the edge a being turned up as shown so as to form an obtuse
angle with the side of the tub.

z is the usual draw-off tap.
These cheese tubs etc. may be formed of tinned iron or copper or any other
suitable material or combination of materials. .
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. A cheese tub or the like vessel having the edge of the bottom thereof turned
up all round as at a so as to form an obtuse angle with the side d substantially in the
manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings
hereunto annexed.
