Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
TIMO. BROWN, OF GEORGETOWN, NEW YORK.
ALLO'Y COM POSITION.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 16,170, dated December 9, 1856.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, TIMOTHY BROWN, of Georgetown, in the county of Madison and State of New York, have invented or discovered a new and useful Metallic Composition or Alloy Peculiarly Suitable for Making Cheese- Hoops'; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.
Metallic cheese-hoops, if the metal were not so liable to corrosion or oxidation by contact with the acids mixed with the curd and whey, would in several particulars be preferable to those made of wood; but the cheap simple metals and the ordinary alloys are quickly corroded or oxidated by the lactic acid in the whey and the acid employed to coagulate the milk, and are therefore entirely unfit for the purpose. By many experiments} have, however, discovered an alloy which is not affected by the acids in the whey, continually remaining bright, however much used, and in other respects possessing the proper qualities for cheese-hoops. The alloy is composed of the four metals-zinc, tin, copper, and antimony. I have found that several different proportions will produce alloys very nearly fulfilling the required conditions; but the best alloy which I have discovered is composed of these metals in the following proportions, or thereabout: zinc, seventy parts; tin, eight parts; copper, one part; antimony, one part. A variation from the above proportions I have found nearly as good as the aboveviz.,zinc, fifty-six parts; tin, eighteen parts; copper, one part; antimony, one part., The metals are melted together in the usual manner and cast in suitable molds to form the cheesehoops.
I do not confine the alloy to any exact proportions; hut
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The metallic composition or alloy, composed of zinc, from fifty-six to seventy parts; tin, from eighteen to eight parts; copper, one part; and antimony one part, for the purpose specified.
In testimonythat the above is a true description of my improved mode of making cheese-hoops I hereunto set my hand this 24th day of June, 1856.
TIMO. BROWN.
