ARTlF-ICIAL LEATHER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 376,855, dated January 2 4, 1888.
Application filed September 30; 1886.
To all whom it may concern: H Be it known that we, IRA CHOATE, of Somerville, in the county of Middlesex, andOAs- TELLY O. NoRoRoss, of Lynn, in the county of Essex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Artificial-Leather, of which the following is aspecification.
Our invention has for its object to provide a compound or mixture which when freshly prepared is plastic and capable of being molded into various forms and hardens and becomes extremely rigid upon exposure to the atmosphere.
The chief object of the invention is to provide a cheap and homogeneous material for the manufacture of boot or shoe heels, soles,
leather and excel the best sole-leather in durability, besides being capable of takingany of the styles of finish usually imparted to leather.
In carrying out our invention we grind scraps of leather into particles of any desired fineness and thoroughly mix them with glue or some glutinous substance inafluid or semifluid condition. We prefer to add to the glutinous substance sufficient proportion of tannin or tannic acid or some other astrin- To make the composition water-proof, we add any suitable water-repellent, such as bichromate of potash or shellac, or a mixture of said materials. Linseed-oil, glycerine, and other vegetable oils may be used for the same purpose. The whole mass is then pressed into the desired form by a suitable mold and is solidified and made rigid by such pressure. The'proportions of leather and glutinous or adhesive material may vary according to the desired quality of the composition, and the proportion of tannin or tannic .acid willdepend on thequality and condition both of the leather and of the glutinous material, as well as upon the quantity of the latter.
This composition can be pressed into arti-' cles of any desired shape and can be made very hard" and durable. It is superior to natural leather where considerable thickness is required, as in boot or shoe heels, because the heel is solid, and therefore not liable to check SerialNo.215,023. (No specimens.)
orcrack like a heel made up of lifts of natural leather.
Shoe-stock made of this improved composition is capable of either an ink or a wax burnish, or of. any kind of polish which natural leather is capable of receiving. 1 r
The composition may be made into'boot or shoe soles, ,counters, heels, shanks, tips, &c., and other articles wherein toughnessand rigidity are requiredas, for example, buttons, knife handles, door knobs, or ornamental work. For many of these uses any hard sub-- stance reduced to the required fineness-es clay, sand, sawdust, or paper or wood pulp, or
iron filings-may be mixed with the other ingredients of the composition, and the material can be pressed with'cloth or some flexible ma Our invention will be readily distinguished from such processes in that wefirst grind the leather, thencombine with glue to secure vis cosity, and then add tannin to convert the glue into leather. sures the formation of a mass which is thoroughly homogeneous throughout and which can be molded to present durable articlesjof considerable bulk and be made to receive and retain a high polish. In the prior process last.
