EDWIN LEWIS KITCHINGMAN, OF COLLINGWOOD, VICTORIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO ARTHUR ANDREWS, OF ALBURY, NEW SOUTH WVALES.

PAINT FOR COATING SHIPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. $77,810, dated February 14, 1888.

Application filed May 2, 1887. Serial No. 236,757. (No specimens.) Patented in New Zealand April 12, 1886, No. 1,789, and in Queensland May 21,1886.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWIN LEWIS KITcH- INGMAN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at No. 268 Wellington street,

Collingwood, in the British Colony of Victoria,

have invented an Improved Water-Proof and Anti-Corrosive Composition Suitable for Coatf ing Ships Bottoms and for such like Purposes, g (for which I filed an application for Letters Patro ent in the British Colony of Queensland on the off into suitable packages, after which I add and for which I, in conjunction with Arthur.

Andrews, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Albury, in the British Colony of New South Wales, filed an application for patent in the British Colony of New Zealand, on the 12th day of April, 1886, and numbered 1,789; thatunder the laws governing the grant of patents in said colony the Letters Patent will bear date as of the day of filing, and that up to the pfesent time the patent on said application filed in said colony has not been granted;) and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My improved water-proof and anti-corrosive composition has been designed principally for the purpose of preserving thebottoms of ships; but it is not confined to this purpose, as it is evident that it can be applied to the preservation of wood and other surfaces.

My composition consists of the following ingredients mixed together at boiling-point, and, by preference, in the following proportionsthat is to say, t a r, two and one-half pounds; oxide of iron, two pounds; resin, one ounce; sugar of lead, two ounces; soft soap, one-fourth of an ounce, "7"

the soft soap, and it then only requires to be heated in order to make it fit for use. The

base of the composition is the oxide .of iron position, instead of the oxide of iron, to produce any tint or shade required; but such matter does not affect its character one way or the other.

If it is desired, the composition may beused cold instead of hot, and in that case there must be sufficient ordinary shellac-varnish added to the composition to liquefy it. It is more convenient to apply the composition when it is cold; but it is more efficient when it is'applied hot.

Having now particularly described and explained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I-claim is A composition of matter formed of tar, oxide of iron, resin, sugar of lead, andspap, substantially in the manner and in the proportions herein set forth. l

EDWIN LEWIS KITCHINGMAN.
