Tinct′ure-press.

An apparatus for thoroughly extracting the active principles of plants, etc., by submitting them to compression.

The example is worked by hydraulic power. The ram of the press lifts the table which supports the box in which the infused mass is contained. The platen is above the press, and is stationary during the operation of pressing, but is moved out of the way when filling and emptying the box.
