We, FREDERICK JACOBSEN and HENRY GEORGE JACOBSEN, both of No. 13 Inver-
leith Gardens, in the City and County of Edinburgh, North Britain, Cork
Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CORKS, BUNGS OR OTHER ANALOGOUS STOPPERS
to be as follows:-
This Invention, which relates to improvements in the manufacture of corks,
bungs or other analogous stoppers, is a further development of the Inventions set
forth in the Complete Specification of Henry George Jacobsen No. 11178 A.D. 1884
and in the Provisional Specification of the said Henry George Jacobsen No. 4578
A.D. 1885.
The object of the present improvements is to cause the pieces of cork wood which
are united together to form corks, bungs or analogous stoppers or the block from
which such are cut to more firmly adhere together than is the case when
manufactured according to the above mentioned Complete and Provisional
Specifications.
This Invention consists then in mixing sulphur with the cementing substances
described in the aforesaid Complete and Provisional Specifications respectively and
in.submitting the blocks of cemented corkwood or the corks, bungs or analogous
stoppers cut therefrom, when the cementing substance has become sufficiently dry,
to the action of heat, so that the cementing substance becomes vulcanized.

We, FREDERICK JACOBSEN and HENRY GEORGE JACOBSEN both of No. 13 Inver-
leith Gardens, in the City, and County of Edinburgh, North Britain, Cork
Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE MANUFACTURE OF CORKS, BUNGS OR OTHER ANALOGOUS STOPPERS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:—
Our Invention, which relates to improvements in the manufacture of corks, bungs
or other analogous stoppers, is a further development of the Invention set forth in
the Complete Specifications filed in pursuance of Letters Patent granted to Henry
George Jacobsen and numbered 11178 A.D. 1884 and 4578 A.D. 1885 respectively.
The object of our present improvements is to cause the pieces of cork wood
which are united together to form corks, bungs or analogous stoppers, or the
block from which such are cut, to more firmly adhere together than is the case when
manufactured according to the hereinbefore mentioned Complete Specifications.
Our Invention consists in mixing sulphur with the cementing substances
described in the aforesaid Complete Specifications and in submitting the blocks of
cemented cork wood or the corks, bungs or analogous stoppers cut therefrom, when
the cementing substance has become sufficiently dry, to the action of heat, so that the
cementing substance becomes vulcanized. The amount of sulphur so added may
be about 5% in weight of the weight of solution used, but this may be varied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
In the manufacture of corks, bungs or other analogous stoppers, the mixing of
sulphur with the cementing substances described in the Complete Specifications
numbered 11178 A.D. 1884 and 4578 A.D. 1885 respectively and thereafter
submitting the blocks of cemented corkwood or the corks, bungs or analogous
stoppers cut therefrom, to the action of heat, all substantially as and for the
purposes herein before set forth.
