page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henri Adrien Bonneville, Patent Agent, of the
British and Foreign Patent Offices, 24, Rue du Mont Thabor, Paris, in
the Empire of France, for the Invention of "A NEW AROMATIC VINEGAR
POR REMOVING STAINS FROM CLOTH AND OTHER MATERIALS."-A communica-
tion from Philippe Prudon and Edouard Cari Mantrand, Chemists,
residing at Issy, near Paris, in the Empire of France.
Sealed the 29th August 1863, and dated the 9th March 1863.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henri Adrien Bonneville
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 9th March 1863.
I, HENRI ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, Patent Agent, of the British and Foreign
Patent Offices, 24, Rue du Mont Thabor, Paris, in the Empire of France, do
hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "A NEW AROMATIC VINEGAR
FOR REMOVING STAINS FROM CLOTH AND OTHER MATERIALS," a communication from
Philippe Prudon and Edouard Cari Mantrand, Chemists, residing at Issy,
near Paris, in the Empire of France, to be as follows:-
This Invention consists in the employment of amyl-acetic, ethyl-acetic, and
methyl-acetic ethers as the base of an aromatic vinegar which may be used
for removing stains from cloth and other materials; these ethers possess the
property of dissolving oily, waxy, resinous, and bituminous substances. For
this purpose these ethers are separately or together mixed with the various
liquid perfumes used in perfumery, such as the rose, lavender, and essences of
orange, clove, lemon, or carnation. In certain cases they may be acidulated

page_text: with a little acetic acid, in order to be used for reviving certain colours, such
as rose or red. The mixtures of these three ethers together, or with the various
perfumes, may be made in any proportions, according to the strength of
perfume desired.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Henri Adrien Bonneville in the Great Seal Patent Office on
the 3rd September 1863.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, HENRI
ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, Patent Agent, of the British and Foreign Patent Offices,
24, Rue du Mont Thabor, Paris, in the Empire of France, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Ninth day of Marcb, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, in the twenty-sixth year
of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto
me, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, Her special licence that I, the said
Henri Adrien Bonneville, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such
others as I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to
time and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should
and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an
Invention for "A NEW AROMATIC VINEGAR FOR REMOVING STAINS FROM CLOTH
AND OTHER MATERIALS," a communication from Philippe Prudon and Edouard
Cari Mantrand, Chemists, now residing at Issy, near Paris, in the Empire of
France, upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Henri Adrien
Bonneville, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under
my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same
was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent
Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the
said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, 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, that is to say:-
This Invention consists in the employment as base of an aromatic liquor,

page_text: which may be used for removing stains from all kinds of stuffs, of mono-
bydratic-acetic acid C'HO³, HO, or anhydrous acetic acid C'HO³, etherated
by one or the other of the three alcohols, vinic or ethylic, C'HO³, amylic
CHO, or methylic C'H'O'. These three ethers, ethyl, amyl, and
methyl acetics, represented by the formules C'H'O, C'HO³, C"H"O,
C'H³O, CH³O, C'H'O³, have the hitherto unknown qualities herein-after
indicated.
Either alone, mixed two and two, or all three together, in any proportion,
they dissolve all greasy, waxy, resinous, or bituminous substances, and conse-
quently remove from stuffs to which they are applied all stains of oil, grease,
paint, butter, tallow, pitch, tar, candle composition, wax, resin, dirt, and even
those stains which cannot be removed by the use of benzine. Dissolved in
absolute vinic alcohol they preserve the same properties, and mixed with a
very small quantity of free monohydratic-acetic acid they preserve their
neutrality of action on the black and many solitary or dark colours, and revive
some others, especially the roses and reds. Pure, mixed together, or with a
portion of absolute vinic alcohol, they exhale an odour of fruits, of rum, and of
vinegar, and are both hygienic and cosmetic.
Lastly, they dissolve the different essences usually employed in perfumery,
such as rose, orange, lavender, wallflower, lemon, and carnation, with which
they may be mixed in any proportions, according to the degree of concentration
it may be wished to obtain.
Having thus described the nature of the said Invention, and the manner in
which it is to be carried into effect, what I claim is, the use of the ethers
amyl-acetic, ethyl-acetic, and methyl-acetic as base of a new aromatic and at
the same time hygienic vinegar, which may be used for removing stains from
stuffs of all kinds without altering their shades, whether employed alone, or
mixed together in equal parts, dissolved or not in absolute alcohol, acidulated
with acetic acid for the purpose of reviving certain colours, or aromatised by
the addition of certain perfumes.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Second day of September, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-three.
H. BONNEVILLE. (L.S.)
