PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Improvements in Apparatus for Facilitating the Transfer of Bottles
from One Person to Another during Bottling, Labelling, and
other Operations.
I, HARRY CROWTHER SLINGSBY, of 15, Spring Garden Road, Heaton, near
Bradford, in the County of York, Wholesale Bottler, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:→
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for facilitating the transfer
of bottles from one person to another as for instance the transfer of bottles of beer
from the person filling them to the person corking them and from the person corking
them to the person labelling them.
For this purpose I employ rotary tables adapted to receive the bottles from one
operator and when turned round more or less half a revolution present them in a
convenient position to the next operator.
To transfer the bottles from the "bottler" to the "corker" I may employ a
round table having a perforated top with a receptacle beneath to catch and retain
any liquor that may be spilt. The top of this table may be divided by two
diametrical partitions at right angles to each other and as each division becomes
filled it is turned round towards the "corker" until the next division is in position
to be filled..
The transfer table between the "corker" and the "labeller" may be rectangular
and be provided with a number of cross bars to support the bottles in an inclined
position convenient to labelling. A number of rods or bars are secured along the
top at right angles to the cross bars to keep the bottles apart. As soon as the
"corker" has half filled this table it is swung half way round to transfer them to
the "labeller" and the remaining half of the table is then filled whilst the bottles
on the other half are labelled and removed.
Dated this 29th day of July 1896.

Improvements in Apparatus for Facilitating the Transfer of Bottles
from One Person to Another during Bottling, Labelling, and
other Operations.
I, HARRY CROWTHER SLINGSBY, of 15, Spring Garden Road, Heaton, near
Bradford, in the County of York, Wholesale Bottler, 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 apparatus for facilitating the transfer

from the person filling them to the person corking them and from the person
corking them to the person labelling them.
For this purpose I employ rotary tables adapted to receive the bottles from one
operator and when turned round more or less half a revolution present them in a
convenient position to the next operator.
To transfer the bottles from the bottler" to the "corker" I employ a round
table having a perforated top with a receptacle beneath to catch and retain
any liquor that may be spilt. The top of this table may be divided by two
diametrical partitions at right angles to each other and as each division becomes
filled it is turned round towards the "corker" until the next division is in position
to be filled.
The transfer table between the "corker" and the "labeller" may be rectangular
and be provided with a number of cross bars to support the bottles in an inclined
position convenient for labelling. A number of rods or bars are secured along the
top at right angles to the cross bars to keep the bottles apart. As soon as the
"corker" has half filled this table it is swung half way round to transfer them to
the "labeller" and the remaining half of the table is then filled whilst the bottles.
on the other half are labelled and removed.
To fully describe my invention reference is made to the accompanying sheet of
drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts in each of the figures:
Figure 1, represents an elevation of the improved table I employ for transferring
the bottles from the "bottler" to the "corker."
Figure 2, is a plan view and Figure 3, a diametrical section of the same.
Figure 4, represents a side elevation of the top of the rotary table I employ for
transferring the bottles from the "corker" to the "labeller."
Figure 5, is a plan view of the same.
In Figures 1, 2 and 3 the rotary table A is fixed to the centre spindle B.
mounted in bearings C, C formed in the legs or frame D and the height of the
table may be adjusted by means of the adjustable collars E fixed by the screws F
upon the spindle B.
Arms G radiate from the spindle B which support the receptacle or vessel H.
covered by the perforated plate J forming the table top. The top of the table is
preferably divided by divisional partitions K.
In Figures 4 and 5 the top of the table is fitted with a number of cross rests L
to support the bottles M in the position shown and divisional bars N are placed
over these ribs to separate the bottles.
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 rotary tables herein shown and described and for the purpose specified.
