Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES ORABTREE, OF NELSONVILLE, OHIO.
COMPOSITION TO BE USED IN MAKING SQUIBS WATER-PROOF.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,758, dated June 14, 1881.
Application filed December 23, 1880.
T all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES GEABTEEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nelson ville, in the county of Athens and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful. Oomposition ofMatter to be Used in Making Squibs Water-Proof, of which the following is a specification.
My compositions consist of the tollowingingredients, combined in the proportions stated, viz: beeswax, one pound; flowers of sulphur, three pounds; alcohol,one"pint; gum-shellac, one'half pound. These ingredients are to be mixed as follows: The beeswax and flowers of sulphur are placed together in a pot over a fire until arrived at boiling-point and are thoroughly mixed. The alcohol and gum-shellac are mixed thoroughly and allowed to stand for twelve hours, when read yfor use.
in using the above-named compositions,' the squib is first dipped in the com position of beeswax and flowers of sulphur and allowed to dry, this being the first water-proof coat. After the above-named coating is dry the squib is dipped in the composition of alcohol and gumshellac, which gives it the second water-proof coat, the both compositions used in the manner described making the squib water-proof.
About eight thousand squibs four and twoeighths inches in length by one-eighth inch in diameter can be made water-proof with the quantity mentioned above.
(No specimens.)
By the use of the above compositions squibs can be made water-proof for at least two hours.
I am aware that Letters Patent were granted S. H. Daddow, December 24, 1872, No.134,128, wherein is specified that the cheaper class of squibs are made of paper which is varnished with soluble glass or painted with any other fire-proof material; but nothingis specified as to making squibs made of paper water-proof. I have personally given attention and trial of the squibs made of paper under S. H. Daddows patent, and find they are not Waterpioot', as they lose their water-proof qualities after remaining five minutes in Wet or damp places.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent ot' the United States, is
The hereiirdescribed compositions of matter to be used in making squibs water-proof, one composition consisting of beeswax and flowers of sulphur, the other composition consist ing of alcohol and gum-shellac in the proportions specified.
In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES ORABTREE.
