IMPROVEMENTS IN STANDS FOR WINES, SPIRITS, AND THE LIKE
Year: 1886

page_text: I VINCENT TYZACK of Cadman Lane Sheffield in the county of York Silver-
smith, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN STANDS FOR WINES, SPIRITS, AND THE LIKE," to be as follows:-
This invention consists in the construction of a stand or decanter for cooling
wines, spirits and the like by providing in the stand a receptacle for ice.
In putting my invention into effect I make an inner cylinder either circular or
any other convenient shape to contain the ice with a perforated tray near the
bottom to serve the the purpose of a drain for the water and I place a tap under
the said plate to run off the water.
Round the outside of this cylinder are divisions varying in number and size
according to the different wines and spirits the stand may be required to hold;
these divisions may be made to any required shape and lined with glass, china,
wood or other suitable material each division being provided with a small tap by
which to draw off the contents.
The cylinder and divisions revolve on the bottom part of the stand or, decanter
and an ornamental top covers the divisions and ice cylinder or otherwise as deemed
necessary.
This top may be screwed to the cylinder or fastened in any other convenient way.
Improvements in Stands for Wines, Spirits, and the like.
VINCENT TYZACK Silversmith Cadman Lane Norfolk St Sheffield do hereby
declare the nature of this 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 consists in the construction of a Stand or Urn for cooling Wines,

page_text: In putting my invention into effect I make an inner cylinder (A) to contain the
Ice the shape of it to be either circular, the shape of a barrel, or any other convenient
form with a perforated Tray near the bottom to serve the purpose of a drain for
the water from the Ice. I place a Tap either (B) underneath or at the side to draw
off the refuse water. Round the outside of this cylinder are divisions (C) varying
in size & number according to the different Wines, Spirits & the like the stand may
be required to hold. These divisions to be made to any required shape and lined
with Glass Earthenware China or any other suitable material, each division being
provided with a small Tap (D) by which to draw off the contents.
The cylinder and divisions rotate on a Stand so that it may be convenient
to supply guests at each sido of a Table without the necessity of arising from
their seats.
The means I employ to make it rotate are as follow I solder on to the bottom
of the cylinder & divisions a flanged Ring (E) then I solder another flanged Ring on
to the top of the Stand same as the one on the cylinder but smaller so that the
one on the cylinder works over & around the one on the Stand.
An ornamental cover is placed over the divisions and Ice cylinder or otherwise
as deemed necessary This top may be screwed or fastened in any other way
convenient.
I make the same kind of Stand to contain Tea, Coffee, Cocoa & Milk the
inner cylinder (A) to be made to contain a heated Iron instead of the Ice thus
having the whole of the contents hot.
Drawings are sent with the Complete Specification.
Having now particarly 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
Its usefulness in having receptacles for four or more kinds of Wines Spirits and
the like all in one Stand thereby doing away with so many decanters placed about
the room, and further the great advantage of being able to have the seperate kinds
of Liquid cool especially during the hot weather.
Another advantage is to have the cooling effects of the Ice without putting the
Ice intself in the glass thus ensuring your Wines, Spirits and the like being clean.
And further still that the whole should rotate on the Stand thereby saving the
trouble of having to remove the Stand or of the guests having to arise from
their seats.
The same advantages apply to the Stand for Tea, Coffee &c only you have them
hot instead of cold.
VINCENT TYZACK.
