Year: 1884

page_text: I, CHARLES SILVESTER YOUNG Commercial Traveller 90 Wills St Lozells Near
Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED
LOCK-UP APPARATUS FOR FRAMES CONTAINING BOTTLES OR DECANTERS OF
LIQUORS, WINES, AND OTHER LIQUIDS OR MATERIALS" to be as follows:-
This contrivance is an hinged cover (a) (made of Metal, Wood, or other materials
or combination of them) placed over the Stopper or Stoppers (b) of one or moro
bottles, one side or back-flap of hinged cover being fixed to sides of frame (o)
containing bottles, also the ends and middle knuckles (d) or joints on Strong pin (e)
or axle going through them and sides of frame (near the top) and firmly fastened
thereto, the front-flap of hinged cover to have knuckles or joints (between (f) the
ends & middle of those of back) to work freely on the Strong pin or axle above
described going through them, with handle (g) firmly fixed thereon to open and
close the front-flap of hinged cover with,-On the front of the hinged cover is a
lock (h) with double Shoot Spring box bolts (2), when front-flap of hinged cover is
being closed the Shaped bolts and Springs will be forced within when the bolt-hole
plates () in sides of frames are reached, thus pressing in the bolts and Springs
attached to & around them in their boxes, so that when the Shaped bolts are over
bolt-holes (k) in sides of frames the springs will cause the shaped bolts to Shoot
into them and cannot be withdrawn without the aid of a key, the Key-plate and
hole (1) being in centre or other convenient part of hinged cover; the Key-plate.
(with pins thereon for key) moving on a pivot at centre of it and connected to
Spring bolts at each end of front-flap of hinged cover, one end for right, the other
for the left hand bolt, when the key is placed on pins of Key-plate and turned by
those using it the Spring bolts are drawn inwards from both sides by one movement
of the key and the frame unlocked:-A Spring or Springs are placed inside hinged
cover of sufficient strength to support the front-Hap open when required, the
Shaped bolts will also lodge on the outside of frame when front-flap is opened,―
this may be sufficient is some frames without the aforesaid Springs:-The inside

cork, or other suitable material so that as the front-flap of hinged cover is pressed
down for locking up, the Stopper or Stoppers will be tightly pressed against the
fixed back by the front-flap of hinged cover thus preventing the Stopper or Stoppers
of bottles being removed and their contents secured.

I, CHARLES SILVESTER YOUNG Commercial Traveller 90 Wills St, Lozells Near
Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED
LOCK-UP APPARATUS FOR FRAMES CONTAINING BOTTLES OR DECANTERS OF
LIQUORS, WINES, AND OTHER LIQUIDS OR MATERIALS" and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
"This contrivance is a hinged cover (a) made of metal, Wood, or other Materials
or combination of them placed over the Stopper or Stoppers (b) of one or more
bottles, one side or back-flap of hinged cover being fixed to sides (c) of frame
containing bottles, also the ends (d) and middle knuckles (d) or joints on Strong
pin or axle (e) going through them and sides of frame near the top, and firmly
fastened thereto; the front-flap of hinged cover to have Knuckles or joints (ƒ)
between the ends and middle of those of back-flap to work freely on the Strong
pin or axle above described going through them, with handle (g) firmly fixed
thereon to open and close the front-flap of hinged cover with; if required, both
flaps may be made to open and close as the last named, in that case, a lock on both
flaps will be required as described below:-" On the front of hinged cover is a
lock (h) with double shoot spring-box bolts (2) when front-flap hinged cover is
being closed the Shaped bolts and springs will be forced within when the bolt-hole
plates (j) in sides of frames are reached, thus pressing in the bolts and Springs
attached to and around them in their boxes, so that when the Shaped bolts (m) are
over bolt-holes (k) in sides of frames the Springs will cause the Shaped bolts (m) to
shoot into them and cannot be withdrawn without the aid of a key, the key-plate (2)
with pins thereon for key moving on a pivot at centre of it and connected to
spring-bolts at.each end of front flap of hinged cover, one end for right, the other
for the left hand bolt, when the key is placed on pins of key-plate and turned by
those using it the Spring-bolts are drawn inwards from both sides by one movement
of the key and the frame unlocked:-A Spring or Springs are placed inside hinged
cover of sufficient strength to support the front-flap open when required, the
Shaped bolts will also lodge on the outside of frame when front-flap is opened, this
may be sufficient in some frames without the aforesaid springs:-The inside of
front & back flaps to be lined over stoppers with india-rubber, cork, or other
.suitable materials, colored or covered with crimson or other color'd velvet or

page_text: material so that as the front-flap of hinged cover is pressed down for locking up,
the Stopper or Stoppers will be tightly pressed against the fixed or locked back-flap
by the front-flap of hinged cover thus preventing the Stopper or Stoppers of bottles
being removed and their contents secured :-If back-flap is required to open & close
so as to take out bottles from either side of frame it must not be fixed but made to
work freely on the Strong pin or axle and fitted with Lock, bolts, Springs, Key-
plate, Key, & springs to support it open when unlocked, also bolt-hole plates in
sides of frames as described for the front one with handle on.
"The drawings referred to are those accompanying the Provisional Specifications.
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 :-
The improved Lock-up apparatus for stands or frames substantially as herein-
" before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
