Improvements in the Process of Tanning and Pickling and Machinery
and Apparatus for same.
ALFRED STAGG Felmonger and LAURANCE SEAGER Engineer both of Milton
next Sittingbourne, in the county of Kent do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
Our Invention relates to Tanning, Pickling Hides Skins flesh and the like.
The Apparatus consisting of a Cylinder or the like made in various Shapes and
sizes & of suitable material that is not effected by Tanning or Chemicals that
may be used in the process and made of such strength as to withstand a great
hydraulic pressure also capable of being easily hermetically sealed having suitable
apertures with covers or the like to facilitate the charging and discharging The
cylinders or the like may be mounted on suitable stands so as to enable them to
be rotated.
The hides skins flesh and the like are suspended on supports within this
cylinder or divided by suitable perforated material or any other simple method
of keeping them apart.
Pumps are attached either to the cylinders, or the stand in suitable positions
for the purpose of firstly exhausting all air to a great vacuum & seconly for
forcing the tanning or chemicals into the hides skin flesh and the like at a con-
siderable pressure which is maintained until the tanning or pickling is completed,
suitable taps valves air cocks Vacuum and Pressure gauges being placed in
convenient positions.
The object of this Invention is that under this treatment Hides skins flesh &
the like are more effectively and quickly penetrated with the Tanning or
Chemicals than by the ordinary process, consequently much time and expense is
saved.

described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Our Invention relates to Tanning. Pickling Hides Skins flesh and the like.
The apparatus consisting of a cylinder or the like made in various shapes and
sizes and of suitable material that is not affected by Tanning or Chemicals that
may be used in the process and made of such strength as to withstand a great
hydraulic pressure also capable of being easily hermetically sealed having suitable
apertures with covers or the like to facilitate the charging and discharging. The
cylinders or the like may be mounted on suitable stands so as to enable them to
be rotated.
The hides skins flesh and the like are suspended on supports within this
cylinder or divided by suitable perforated material or any other suitable method
of keeping them apart.
Pumps are attached either to the cylinders or the stand in suitable positions
for the purpose of firstly exhausting all air to a great vacuum and secondly for
forcing the tanning or chemicals into the hides skins flesh and the like at a con-
siderable pressure which is maintained until the tanning or pickling is completed
suitable taps valves air cocks Vacuum and Pressure gauges being placed in
convenient positions. The object of this Invention is that under this treatment
Hides skins flesh and the like are more effectively and quickly penetrated with
the tanning or Chemicals than by the ordinary process consequently much time
and expense is saved.
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:"
1. Improvements in Tanning and Pickling Hides Skins flesh and the like by
means of the apparatus substantially as described.
2. The combination of one or several cylinders or the like connected up with
pumps pipes and gauges in convenient positions herein specified.
3. The more effective and perfect penetration of Hides Skins flesh and the like
with Tanning or Chemicals with a great saving of time and expense.
