Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
AROHIBALD K. LEE, OF GALVESTON, TEXAS.
COMPOSITION FOR ROOFING AND PAVING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 257,501, dated May 9, 1882.
Application filed February 20, 1882. lSpecimens.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AROHIBALI) K. LEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Galveston, in the county of Galveston and State of Texas, have invented anew and useful Composition l'or Roofing, Paving, and other .Purposes, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to produce a compound which is strong, tenacious, and pliable, which will not be affected by climatic changes, and which will resist the corrosive action of acids and alkalies; and to this end myinvention consists in a compound composed of asphaltum, pine-tar, and oxide of iron, as will more full y hereinafter appear.
In carrying out my invention I take of crude natural asphaltum two thousand pounds, (2,000 lbs.,) pine-tar fourhundred pounds, (400 lbs.) preferring the tar made by the combustion of the wood known as the Pimts aastralus, or long-leaf pine--and tothese (the asphaltum and pine-tar) I add when in a perfect state of solution, two hundred pounds (200 lbs.) ot'oxide ofiron. These ingredients are combined by the action of heat until the water is entirely evaporated therefrom and ahomogeneous mass is formed. The tar and the oxide of iron have a strong affinity for the asphaltum, and form a perfect composition, remarkable for its pliability, strength, and tenacity, and only excelled by rubber or gutta-percha, and which,
in point of fact, can be substituted for the tion enumerate some of the most important uses to which it can be applied. For paving purposes it may be mixed with ground or pulverized stone, sand, or gravel, and spread on the road-bed or pressed into blocks. For root'- ing it may be spread on the roof-boards or applied to canvas or rooting-felt, either before or after it is put on the roof. For enameling cloth or leather it will be found unsurpassed, as it .has a jet-black finish. For covering burlap or canvas for sacks used in transporting or storing valuable ores, superphosphates, chloride of lime, nitrate of soda-in fact, any and all merchandise which requires covering to resist the corrosive action of acids or alkalies or any material which is liable to melt or liqueiy by exposure to the air-for insulating telegraph or telephone wires and formation of cables for submarine purposes, and as a base for an enamel for all metal work, it will be found of great value.
I do notlimit myself to the precise proportions of ingredients as herein specified, as it is obvious that they may be varied to a greater or less extent without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 18-- 1. A compound consisting ot natural as phaltum, pine-tar, and oxide of iron, in about the proportions specified, and for the purposes set forth.
2. A new article of manufacture consisting of canvas or other textile felted or fibrous labric saturated or coated, or both, with a compound of natural asphaltum, pine-tar, and oxide of iron.
