page_text: I, ROBERT WHITE of Cunard Street, Albany Road in the County of Surrey
Mineral Waters Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
I provide a frame for holding the bottles neck downwards which are to be rinsed
such frame being made of wire or lattice work instead of the wooden table or
board heretofore used which obstructed the view so that it could not be seen if
any dirt or other matter remained in the necks and adjoining parts of the bottles
after their being inserted in the holes formed in the board. To the underside of
this lattice work frame or table is connected the water piping which by preference
is made in the form of a gun metal casting into the top of which are fitted any
desired number of nipples or jet pipes, one below each space in the lattice work
for receiving the neck of a bottle. The jet pipes are made of larger internal
diameter below and splayed out there and tapering upwards to the exit end for the
purpose of giving a full and strong jet or volume of rinsing water, and I make the
upper or exit end of vulcanite or other sufficiently soft material to prevent breakage
of the bottles. This apparatus is well adapted for rinsing bottles with glass ball or
other inserted stoppers and also does away with the old expensive arrangement of
bent jet pipes for such bottles.

Mineral Waters 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:-
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is a part sectional side elevation,
Figure 2 a plan and Figure 3 an end view of a bottle rinser constructed according
to this my invention.
I provide a frame A for holding the bottles neck downwards which are to be
rinsed such frame being made of wire or lattice work instead of the wooden table
or board heretofore used which obstructed the view so that it could not be seen if
any dirt or other matter remained in the necks and adjoining parts of the bottles
after their being inserted in the holes formed in the board. It may conveniently
be cast in brass as here intended and in two pieces which are united by cross
straps B. To the underside of this lattice work frame or table A B is connected by
means of the straps B the water piping which by preference is made in the form
of a gun metal casting C of a two pronged fork shape for instance, as shown, into the
top of which are fitted any desired number of nipples or jet pipes D one below each
space in the lattice work A for receiving the neck of a bottle. The jet pipes D
are made of larger internal diameter below and splayed out there and tapering
upwards to the exit end for the purpose of giving a full and strong jet or volume
of rinsing water, and I make the upper or exit end D¹ of vulcanite or other
sufficiently soft material to prevent breakage of the bottles. The water is admitted
to the apparatus by depressing the handle of the inlet valve E. This apparatus is
well adapted for rinsing bottles with glass ball or other inserted stoppers and also
does away with the old expensive arrangement of bent jet pipes for such 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
First: The improved construction of bottle rinser substantially as described
and shown.
Second: In bottle rinsers the open worked table A substantially as and for the
purpose'set forth.
Third:In bottle rinsers the jet pipes D splayed and tapering and with exit
end of vulcanite or equivalent material substantially as and for the purposes set
forth.
