      A generalized model for the original procedure of integration of the Kowalevski top was introduced in [\textit{V. Dragović}, Commun. Math. Phys. 298, No. 1, 37--64 (2010; Zbl 1252.14021)], describing the procedure in terms of discriminantly separable polynomials and two-valued groups on elliptic curves (for these groups see [\textit{V. M. Buchstaber}, Mosc. Math. J. 6, No. 1, 57--84 (2006; Zbl 1129.20045)]). The model is applied here to two known integrable systems: Sokolov and Integrable Kirchhoff Elasticae. The Sokolov system has the same Poisson structure as the Kowalevski system, but its Hamiltonian contains some extra terms. The Integrable Kirchhoff Elasticae, instead, has essentially the same Hamiltonian as the Kowalevski system, but the Poisson bivector is modified by extra terms. The two examples are here explicitly integrated. A short introduction to theta functions, involved in the integration procedure, is given in the appendix, together with the derivation of formulas involving the same functions.
