ENTQF I PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
INSULATING COMPOUND Fo ELECTRIC WIRES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,046, dated November '7, 1882,
Application filed September 5, 1882.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD S. WARING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Insulating Compounds for ElectriclWires, of which the following is a specification,reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to a composition ofmatelectrical wires; and my invent-ion consists in utilizing the waste fluid products or residuum of petroleum,combined with, resins, gums, and natural or artificial bitumen or asphaltum, and with compus matter-such as clay, chalk, pulp, or lke material-which will readily combine with the fluid portion of the compound, without impairing its efficiency as an insulating medium.
In distilling petroleum or other mineral oil, after taking off the distillates of low gravitydistillates remain in the still, which are capable of being divided into numerous other products by carry ing on the process of distillation. Among these products which are carried over in the further distillation are some which remain fluid when cold, and others which congoal or become hard when cold. The products above referred to, which are fluid when cold, are the ones we use in the manufacture of our insulating compound, and combine it with natural asphaltum, pitch, rosin, or coal-tar pitch, or with the distillates of petroleum, which are solid when cold. I take of the fluid distillates above mentioned any desired quantity, and add thereto the rosin, asphaltum, pitch, or the solid residuum of petroleum in sufiicient quantity to make a somewhat thick mass. These are thoroughly mixed by heating or by mechanical means, so as to produce a homogeneous mass. The com pus matters-such as clay, chalk, pulp, or other suitable material-is added until the composition is of the proper consistency to adhere to and form a body of substantial thickness on the Wire or cable to be coated. The clay, chalk, or other like mate- (No specimens.)
rial acts not only as an absorbentto take up the resinous elements of the distillates and bitumens and preventthem from making the compound tacky or sticky, but they also act to retain the lighter or volatile portions of the'distillates or bitumen, and thus prevent the compound when applied t'rom becoming dry and brittle. The wire, which has been previously coated or covered with a cotton or other fibrous or textile material, when divested ot'its moisture by means of devices and processes which form the subject-matter of other applications, is drawn through the compound in such a manner as to saturate the fibrous coating of the wire, and to form a. substantial body of the composition thereon, and after the coating has become hard or sufliciently set it is wound up in coils or on reels in the usual manner.
In order -to effect a speedy drying of the coinpound after it is applied to the wires, and to facilitate the further manipulation of the same without annoyance to the workmen, and to prevent the coils l'rom adhering to each other in case the composition is too liquid, I may draw the coated wire through a body of finelydisintegrated asbestos, mineral paint, or other like and suitable material which will not harden or become brittle, and thus the wires will be so coated that they will not be so readily affected by heat or moisture, and may color to give a fine appearance suitable to the color of the wall to which it may be suspended.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is The compound herein described for insulating telegraph and other electrical wires, the same consisting in the liquid distillates of petroleum, such as described, combined with resinous or bituminous substances, and with clay, chalk, pulp, or other suitable material.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses, this 29th day of August, 1882.
RICHARD S. WARlNG.
