Description
EATENT F F ICEQ SILAS B. DIVINE, OF LOOH SHELDRAKE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE BEND ROCK POWDER COMPANY, OF NEW JERSEY.
EXPLOSIVE COMPOUND.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,757, dated December 4, 1883.
Application filed July To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that '1, SILAS R. DIVINE, of
-Loch Sheldrake, Sullivan county, State of New York, and a citizen of the United States,
have invented an Improvement in Explosive Compounds, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
The object of my invention is to sensitize or impart increased susceptibility to explosion to an explosive compmuul for use, chiefly, in blasting, eom 'matd of chlorate of potash and nitro-benzole, so that the said compound may be readily exploded under various con- (lit-ions of confinement, as in loose or rotten rock or shale, or in earth, or in the open air.
My invention consists in an explosive com pound composed of chlorate ofpotash andnitrobenzole substantially in the proportions of from about three to four and one-sixth parts of the former to one part of the latter, (as described by me in Letters Patent No. 243,432, dated J unc 2S, 1581,) with the wet or moist mass of which said ingredients is united sulphur in a finelypowdered state in the proportions hereinafter stated.
As is stated in said Letters Patent above referred to, either perchlorate or permanganate of potash may be employed in place of chlorate of potash in the compound, and, in like manner, other liquid nitro compounds I maybe substituted for the -nitro-benzole, and
the theoretical proportions in which these said ingredients combine most eifectively to form an explosive may bevaried somewhat and still .213, 1853, (So specimens) an effective ekplosivebe constituted; and, furthermore, the chlorate of potash being in a crushed or powdered state and used as the solid ingredient, and the nitro-benzole being used as the liquid ingredient of the compound, these two ingredients maybe readily combined by simply allowing the said solid to absorb the liquid.
The proportion in which it is desirable to use the sulphur is from about one to three per cent. thereot -relativi'sly to the mass of the combined two other ingredients named; but thesr proportions may be varied without departing from the essential feature of this invention. or moist mass of the combined chlorate of potash and nitro-benzole, and this may be ac complished by mixing the sulphur with said mass by hand in a suitable vessel! The danger of accidental. explosion attendant upon mixing sulphur with chlorate ofpot ash in a dry state is thus avoided.
'What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The explosive compound herein described, composed of chlorate of potash and nitro-benzole, substantially in the proportions named, with the wet or moist mass of which said combined ingredients is united sulphur in substantially the relative proportions, and as and for the purpose set forth.
SILAS R. DIVINE.
