Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Leather.
Inventor: ZACHARIAS PROCOPIOS DIONYSIOS
Filed: 1903-03-06
Granted: 1904-03-05
Abstract: 5305. Zacharias, P. D. March 6. Tanning.-Leather and hides are simultaneously tanned and dyed by depositing in and between the fibres of the skin insoluble colouring-materials, such as aniline dyes other than picric acid, or substances from which Berlin-blue, colloidal oxide of tin, and the like may be precipitated, and carmine, alizarin, and other lakes in colloidal solutions. The cleaned hides and skins are put into a fulling-trough or wincing-machine containing the dyeing and tanning solution, to which may be added substances, such as alkaline or alkalineearth compounds, for absorbing or eliminating the colour. The solution is introduced gradually, and the tanning continued for from four to twentyfour hours. Before washing, a fixing or an acidneutralizing bath may be used. Light upper leather may thus be produced from goat-skin by means of a solution of, induline, to which sulphuric acid is slowly added. It is afterwards neutralized by means of a soda solution impregnated with a fatty emulsion. In producing white leather, tin compounds, such as butter of tin solution, may be used.
