Patent GB-190006224-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Extracting Corks from Bottles and the like.
Inventor: BAUMGARTEN ALBERT
Filed: 1900-04-03
Granted: 1900-06-30
Abstract: 6224. Baumgarten, A. April 3. Corkscrews and cork-drawers.-The apparatus is adapted to be fixed to a counter &c. by the screw 22, and the casing is made in two halves a, b, which are secured together by screws 23. The operating-lever i is pivoted on the links 44, and the upper end enters a recess in the corkscrew carrier f, where it bears on the enlarged head of the corkscrew g, which can rotate on the carrier. The nut h, which effects the rotation of the corkscrew, and the carrier f are prevented from rotating by the lugs 52, 51 engaging in a slot in the casing. The lug 52 also rests in a socket in the piece k, which is provided with two spring-controlled latches l, m, adapted to engage the lug 51 on the down and up strokes respectively of the carrier. In operation, the upward movement of the lever i causes the descent of the carrier f, and also of the nut h to its lower limit, owing to the engagement of the lug 51 with the latch l. On the further movement of the lever in the same direction, the latch l is released by the fixed cam, 64, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 16, engaging the arm 63 on the latch, the nut h then remaining stationary, while the corkscrew is rotated through it into the cork. The lug 51 also passes and engages under the latch m. On the downward movement of the lever i, the nut h and carrier f are raised together without rotating the corkscrew, so withdrawing the cork, until the latch m is released by the cam 66, after which the nut remains at rest, while the corkscrew ascends further, to strip off the cork. The cam 66 is carried by the plate n, which can be adjusted in position by the eccentric pin 68 in the slot 67, to regulate the point at which the latch m is released. This adjustment enables the apparatus to be set for extracting long or short corks, or for partially extracting the corks of bottles containing effervescing liquids, when it is desired to prevent the escape of liquid until the operator can conveniently pour out the contents. The apparatus is also provided with pivoted, rubber-lined, gripping-jaws c, d, adapted to hold the bottle neck. The jaws are provided with lugs 31, 32, which project into the slots 34, 35 in the pivoted thumb-piece e, so that the rotation of the thumbpiece effects the opening and closing of the jaws.

Title: An Improved Process for Marbling or Decorating Leather.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1900-04-28
Granted: 1900-06-16
Abstract: 7922. Thompson, W. P., [Collin, W.]. April 28. Ornamenting leather.-Relates to a process for marbling or decorating leather in various tints, the leather so treated being applicable for albums, writing-pads, fancy goods, furniture leathers, &c. The surface of the leather is moistened with water, and the excess removed by rubbing with a dry cloth. The parts which are to retain the natural colour of the leather are dotted, sprinkled, or brushed with a solution of alum or chloride of tin, and the surface is allowed to dry. The leather is then covered with a dilute soda or potash lye, and after the surplus has been removed the alum or tin chloride solution is again applied. When the surface is again dry, the leather is rubbed over with a solution of the selected aniline dye. Embossed pictures &c., which are to be provided with a marbled background, are protected during these operations with a suitably-cut templet. The leather can be given a darker tone in places by treatment with alkaline chromate solution. Parts may be brushed with an iron solution, and the grey to grey-black colouring so produced may be modified by treatment with hydrochloric, oxalic, picric, or other acid, to produce yellow, flesh-colour or rose, and yellowish green colours respectively. Chlorides of zinc, aluminium, or copper, or aluminium sulphate, may be employed instead of alum or chloride of tin.

Title: Manufacture of a Black Colouring Matter Directly Dyeing Cotton.
Filed: 1901-01-05
Granted: 1901-12-07
Abstract: 330. Abel, C. D., [Akt.-Ges. fiir Anilin- Fabrikation]. Jan. 5. Dyes, artificial, which yield on unmordanted cottun intense green-black shades and are not essentially changed in shade by subsequent treatment with hydrogen peroxide, are produced by boiling for about forty hours at the reflux condenser an aqueous solution of sulphur and a sulphide of an alkali metal and the dinitrochlorooxydiphenylamine of the formula :- The product is precipitated by common salt, a mineral acid, or a current of air. When precipitated by air, the dye must be mixed with sodium sulphide in order to obtain an aqueous solution of it. Dinitrochlorooxydiphenylamine of the formula given above is prepared by heating dinitrochlorobenzene [Cl.NO2:NO2=1:2:4] with chloroamidophenol [OR:Cl:NH2=1:2:4] in a suitable medium and in presence of an agent which will combine with the hydrochloric acid which is formed in the reaction. The product crystallizes from alcohol in small red needles which melt at 180‹ C.

The sprocket-wheels may be fitted at the ends of the rollers, or spur gearing may be used.
Patent GB-190108726-A (GB)
Title: Device for Mechanical Skin Treatment or Massage.
Inventor: SARTORI GRAZIANO
Filed: 1901-04-27
Granted: 1902-01-09
Abstract: 8726. Sartori, G. April 27. Massage. - Consists of massage apparatus in which a knob or mallet is reciprocated by a compressed-gas engine carried by a handle to allow treatment of any part of the body. The knob or mallet g is carried by the rod f of a piston c working i n a cylinder b mounted o n a handle j. Compressed carbonic a c i d o r other gas is supplied to the engine from a reservoir through a reducing-valve and a flexible tub e l. The gas is first passed through a pipe heated in a water bath &c. so as to prevent solidification of the gas. The gas passes to the engine by the pipe d<1>, and, when the piston is in the position shown, traverses the passage h<1>, thus passing behind the cylinder and forcing it forward. The piston is fitted with an annular slide valve r which works in a recess. The valve is carried forward by the piston, and, when the gas passes behind its flange, it is forced forward, closing the port k' and opening the port k, and thus causing the piston to be reversed. The used gas escapes through an annular chamber s in the slide and passages k<2>, h<2>, t in the piston and piston-rod to an outlet pipe y, from which it may be led to a reservoir for future use. The cylinder b is made longer than is necessary for the working of the slide valve, so that the extent of the movement of the mallet g depends upon the resistance to be overcome.

Abstract: 17,015. James, J. J., [trading as Dutson & Co.]. Aug. 1. Window blinds.-Relates to a bracket which may be applied at either side of the window, and to an automatic catch for securing the roller. The bracket e, Fig. 4, is made from a flat metal plate, and has a series of attachment ears, e<2>, e<3>, turned out alternately in opposite di:rections, along its back and top edges. A cord-guide f has a couple of side lugs which pass through slots in the bracket and are secured by a cottar. The guide may thus be placed on either side of the bracket. A gap g<1> receives the roller pivot. Above the gap is pivoted a hook-shaped catch h, the lower portion of which, when the catch is hanging in its normal position, extends across the gap. As the roller pivot is inserted in the gap, it bears on the curved part h<2> of the catch and pushes it aside. As the pivot is still further advanced, it strikes the upper part h<6> of the catch, and causes the lower part to cross the gap and hold the pivot in position. The swing of the catch is limited by stops h<4>, h<5>. To release the pivot, the lower part of the catch is swung clear of the gap by a trigger h<3>. In a modification, the bracket i, Fig. 10, is provided with horizontal and vertical attachment flanges i, i<2>, which overhang the inner side of the bracket. The roller pivot is received by a gap j, and is retained by a catch k which turns on a pivot k<1>. The catch is made of spring steel, and, in closing, slides over an incline k<3> on the bracket, and locks behind a shoulder. A finger-piece k<2> is provided for pushing the catch clear of the shoulder and swinging it out to release the roller pivot. The cord guide m is carried by a pivot m' on the catch.
