Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SILAS R. DIVINE, OF LOCH SHELDRAKE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE BEND ROCK POWDER COMPANY, OF NEW JERSEY.
EXPLOSIVE COMPOUND.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,756, dated December 4, 1883, Application filed July 23, 1883. (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it knownv that I, SILAS R. DIVINE, of- Loeh Sheldrake, Sullivan county, State of New York, and a citizen of the United States, have 5 invented an Improved Explosive Compound, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide an explosive compound for blasting and other 10 purposes, the ingredients of which can be handled and transported separately without hazard from explosion, and can be united by the consumer to form the explosive at the time when and the place where its use is desired.
My invent-ion consists of an explosive compound composed of two ingredients, the one a solid-such as chlorate of potash in a crushed or powdered state-and the other a liquid, such as the heavy oil of coal-tar, which is 20 commonly called dead-oil. These ingredients are combined to form the explosive-by allowing the solid ingredient to. absorb the liquid ingredient; and this can be doneby the workman or miner at the place and when the 2 5 explosive is desired for use. The theoretical proportions in which the said ingredients combine efi'ectively to constitute my explosive compound are about seven and one-half parts of chlorate of potash to one part of dead-oil.
0 The exact theoretical proportions need not, however, be strictly adhered to, as avariat-ion somewhat therefrom will still yield an. effective explosive.
Perchlorate or permanganate of potash may be employed as the solid ingredient-of the U compound, and other fluid hydrocarbons which are practically non-volatile in a free state at ordinary temperatures-say such as have a boiling-point above about 300 Fahrenheit-may be used as the liquid ingredient.
The ingredients of my improved explosive compound may, if desired, be mixed in Uh;- proper proportions in a convenient receptacle.
In Letters Patent No. 243,432, dated June 28, 1883, I have described amcxplosive com- 5 pound of this character co1uposed of a solid ingredient-such as chlorateot' potashand a liquid ingredient-uch as nitro-benzolc, or other liquid nitro compound-and therefore I do not intend to claimherein acompoundcomposed of such named ingredients.
\Vhat I claim as myinvention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent hereunder, is-
The explosive compound herein described,
which consists of a solid in gr'edient-as chlorate .5 5
of potash-and a liquid ingredient-as the heavy oil of coal-tar (dead-oil)-mechauically united substantially in the proportions and as and for the purposes setforth.
SlLA$ R. DIVINE.
