FRED KIMBLE, OF PEORIA, ILLINOIS.
MAKING TARGETS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent Application filed July 13, 1855. Serial No. 172,495.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRED KIMBLE, a citizen ot' the United States, residing in Peoria, in the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Art of Making Targets, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of targets known as clay pigeons, blackbirds, and the like, made, usually, of clay or other fragile material and adapted to be thrown through the air from a suitable trap, to be shot at by marksmen, and has for its object the produc tion of a target which will be fragile, so as to be readily shattered when struck by a pellet of shot, that will not be affected by any atmospheric changes to which it may be subjected, and which will be cheap.
To carry my invention into effect, I take a quantity of pitch obtained by distilling off the light oils from coal-tar, and place it in a suit able vessel over a fire and melt it. I then add to each one hundred pounds of melted pitch from twenty-five to seventyfive pounds of whiting or plaster-otparis and thoroughly mix by agitation. WVhen this composition is heated to about 400 Fahrenheit, it is poured into suitable molds, where it quickly chills. Before adding either the plasterof-paris or whiting to the melted pitch I prefer to heat the same, in order to thoroughly dry it and to facilitate the mixing with the pitch. The quantity of-plaster-of-paris or whiting (and I No. 334,782, dated January 26, 1886.
(N0 specimens) use either at will) used to a given quantity of pitch depends upon the condition of the pitch on being taken from the still. If the pitch is boiled so as to stand a temperature of, say, about 175 beforesof'tening and melting, I then use about twenty-five pounds of the plasterof-paris to one hundred pounds of pitch, and if to 140, then about seventy-five pounds of the p1aster-of-paris or whiting. In other words, the harder the pitch is boiled the less oil there is in it to be absorbed, and the minimum quantity of plaster-of-paris is used, and the softer the pitch the more plasterof-paris is used.
Targets composed of these and either whiting or plaster of -paris, when combined and molded as above described, give the very best results, and are not affected by atmospheric changes.
\Vhat I claim, and desire to ters Patent, is
1. As a new article of manufacture, a tarmaterials, pitch get composed of pitch and plasterof-paris or whiting, in the proportions specified.
2. The process of making targets, which consists in mixing with melted pitch a quantity of either plasterof-paris or Whiting, and then pouring the composition so formed into suitable molds, substantially as described.
FRED KIMBLE.
