We, WALTER BEEKEN BURROW, and, JOHN SEVERN BURROW, Manufacturers of
Iron Wine Bins, and, THOMAS SMITH, Clerk, of Seething Lane, London, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to certain improvements in bins or receptacles for wine and
other bottles, the objects of the Invention being to dispense with the necessity of
rivetting the respective parts of the front rear and intermediate frames together at all
or most adjacent parts thereof as at present effected, by causing the parts which hold
such frames apart to serve also as the means of securing the respective parts thereof
together, and thus to improve simplify and cheapen the construction of such bins.
The Invention may be applied to that class of iron bins known as the Slider wine
Bins, in using which the bottles are taken by their necks, rested upon horizontal bars or
equivalently disposed parts arranged from front to back of the bin in the direction of
the length of the bottles and simply slid into or from their places, and to bins of that
class in which the bottles are supported by the end fraines at the front and rear parts
of their body parts, or by the rear part of the body and by the neck at the front end.
In the former case, the said holding parts of the frame are so disposed as to act as
the slider bars for supporting the successive tiers of bottles, as well as the means of
keeping the frames apart, and as the means of holding the parts thereof respectively
together, their ends being split or otherwise equivalently or suitably formed so as to
embrace or clip the adjacent or contiguous hexagonally bent or curved parts or bands
of which the frames are composed and which form the apertures for receiving the
bottles at the front and rear framings, and such split ends are or may be doubled
about such adjacent parts or otherwise suitably fastened thereto in such a manner as
to rigidly clip or secure the same in the manner desired.
In bins wherein the front and back ends of the bodies of the bottles are supported
by the front and rear frames respectively, and not by the slider bars, the said
connecting bars may be made of a narrower formation or as rods their ends being
formed arranged and connected to the said frames substantially as above referred to
and preferably at the lower part of each aperture, so as to rigidly hold together the
parts supporting the bottles immediatety under the latter.

page_text: In bins wherein the bottles are supported by the rear end of the body and by the
neck by the opposite frames, the frame supporting the necks is placed at an elevation
relatively to the one supporting the punts of the bottles equal to the difference
between the semi-diameters of the neck and punt ends of the bottles, and then the said
connecting parts may be so disposed as that their opposite ends are respectively
connected to the top parts of the springs of the front fraine and to the bottom parts of
the openings of the back frame.
In bins of large size we prefer using a surrounding framing for affording a general
support to the said frames which may be rivetted clipped or otherwise suitably
attached thereto in a usual manner, and in bins of considerable height it may be
advisable also to rivet or clip the parts of the frames together at a comparatively few
places to ensure a general rígidity and stability of the frames.

page_text: We, WALTER BEEKEN BURROW, and JOHN SEVERN BURROW, Manufacturers of
Iron Wine Bins, and THOMAS SMITH, Clerk, all of Seething Lane, London, do hereby
declare the nature of the said 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 certain improvements in bins or receptacles for wine and
other bottles, the objects of the Invention being to dispense with the necessity of
rivetting the respective parts of the front and rear frames together at all or most
adjacent parts thereof as at present effected by causing the parts which hold such
frames apart to serve also as the means of securing the respective parts thereof
together, and thus to improve, simplify and cheapen the construction of such bins.
The Invention is especially applicable to that class of iron bins known as the
"Slider" wine Bins, which are formed with horizontal bars or equivalently disposed
parts arranged from front to back of the bin in the direction of the length of the
bottles, and in using which the bottles are taken by their necks, rested upon such bars
and simply slid into or from their places, and are continuously supported for the
length of their body part; the Invention is also applicable to bins of that class in
which the bottles are supported by end frames at the front and rear parts of their
body parts or by the rear part of the body and by the neck at the front end.
Examples of the former application are illustrated on the accompanying drawings
in Figs., 1, and, 2, and examples of the latter application are illustrated in Figs. 3,
and, 4. We prefer to construct the frames of the bin of semi-hexagonally bent or
analogously curved bands of iron, 5, which may be disposed horizontally or vertically
so as to form separate bottle apertures, such bands being of the nature referred to in
the Specification of former Letters Patent No. 6876, granted to us on the 5th day of
June, 1885, and being juxtaposed, united and held together according to the present.
improvements in the hereinafter described.
In the modifications illustrated in Figs. 1, and, 2, the said holding parts, 6, of the
frames are so disposed as to act as slider bars for supporting successive tiers of bottles,
as well as the means of keeping the front and back frames apart, and as the means of
holding the parts thereof respectively together, they being made of an angular or bent
formation, and their ends, 7, being split vide Fig. 1; stepped vide Fig. 2, or other-
wise equivalently or suitably formed so as to embrace or clip both sides of the adjacent
bands, 5; about, over or under which, such split ends are doubled either at the top
part of each bottle aperture or at the lower part thereof in such a manner as to rigidly
clip and hold together the parts supporting the bottles.
In bins wherein the front and back ends of the bodies of the bottles are supported
by front and rear frames respectively, vide Figs. 3, and 4, and not by slider bars; the

page_text: said connecting bars, 6, may be made of a narrower formation, or as rods, their ends
being formed, arranged, and connected at any convenient part to the said frames,
substantially as herein before referred to.
In bins wherein the bottles are supported by the rear end of the body and by the
neck by opposite frames, the frame supporting the necks is or may be placed at an
elevation relatively to the one supporting the punts of the bottles equal to the
difference between the semi-diameters of the neck and punt ends of the bottles, and if
so placed the said connecting parts, 6, may be so disposed as that their opposite ends
will be respectively connected to the top parts of the openings of the front frame and
to the bottom parts of the openings of the back frame, or vice-versa.
In bins of large size, we prefer using a surrounding framing of an ordinary kind
for affording a general support to the said frames, which may be rivetted or otherwise
suitably attached thereto in a usual manner; and in bins of considerable height it may
be advisable also to rivet or clip the parts of the frames together at a comparatively
few places to ensure a general rigidity and stability thereof, but generally the present
necessity of rivetting the parts of the frames together will be entirely obviated by
our present improvements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what-we claim is
The hereinbefore described improvements in iron bins or receptacles for wine and
other bottles; the same consisting, essentially, in causing the parts which hold the
frames of such bins apart and together to serve also as the means of securing the
respective parts of such frames together substantially in the manner hereinbefore
described.
