Description

Nrrnn FREDERICK F. MYLES, OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.
BATH SALT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 607,605, dated July 19, 1898.
Application filed January 20, 1897. Serial No- 619 ,982. (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK F. MYLEs, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bath Salt; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a composition of matter designed for use at the bath or toilet.
In using bath salts now on the market a quite sharply crystalline'deposit is left upon the skin, this characteristic being more or less noticeable and more or less unpleasant in different individuals and the effect being modified somewhat by the humidity of the atmosphere.
The object of this invention is to so combine with salt (chlorid of sodium) designed for use at the bath ortoilet certainingredien ts or elements which so modify the qualities of an aqueous solution of the salt as to prevent a noticeable saline deposit upon the skin of the user and at the same time to act as a cleansing agent and as a tonic or stimulant, perfuming agents being also preferably embodied in the compound to lend added luxury to its use.
To this end the invention consists in combining with salt-say not less than eighty parts-certain proportions of borax, soda-ash, glycerin, and oil, with which compound is preferably incorporated per-fuming agents to complete the compound of one hundred parts.
In the practical manufacture of this compound I have obtained the best results from incorporating with two thousand pounds (avoirdupois) of fine salt a mixture of twenty five pounds of borax, fifteen pounds of sodaash, five pounds of glycerin, and one-half pound of cotton-seed oil, (all apothecaries weight.) The borax, soda-ash, glycerin, and oil are to be thoroughly mixed and then added to the salt and thoroughly commingled therewith while the latter is hot. The soda-ash,
borax, and cotton-seed oil form a saponaceous compound cleansing in its nature, and owing to the presence of the borax or soda-ash, or both, in excess or uncombined I avoid in use precipitation of the soap, due to the action of the salt. Borax also acts as a cleansing agent, combining with or taking up fatty matters present on the surface of the skin, and the glycerin serves to modify the action of any unoombined borax and soda-ash. I do not wish to confine myself strictly to the propor tions above named, as these proportions may require some modification in different localities, according to the prevalence in said 10- calities of hard or soft Water; but theproportions named have been found efficient for general use. The perfuming of this compound has met with great favor in its practical marketing, and for this purpose I have employed one-half pound oil of lavender, one-fourth pound oil of bergamot, one-half pound sweet orange, and as a vehicle twenty-five ounces deodorized alcohol, (all apothecaries weight.) These perfuming agents have in practice been thoroughly commingled and mixed with the borax, soda-ash, glycerin, and cotton-seed oil prior to their incorporation with the salt.
The selection of the particular perfuming agents used with this bath salt may be modified or changed to suit the demands of dealers or consumers in different localities,though the ingredients or elements named and heretofore used have met with approval in all 10- calities where sales of the salt have been made.
Experience may show some better method of admixture of the named ingredients to produce the merchantable article, and therefore I do not wish to confine myself strictly to the method of manufacture heretofore employed.
In use the compound produces a tonic or stimulating effect upon the user, and there is an absence of any sharply-crystalline deposit and the objectionable feeling of deposit or scale on the skin of the user incident to the use of all saline toilet preparations of which Ihave knowledge or to sea-bathin g; and while the or dinary toilet soaps of commerce are permissible, being soluble in a strong aqueous solution of my bath salt, their use is rendered unnecessary in a large measure owing to the presence in the compound of the saponifying agentssoda-ash and cotton-seed oil-which practically represent the well-known castile soap.
Moreover, in the use of this toilet salt there is an absence of the deposit or scum on the basin or bath-tub, which is usual when using bath salts or sea-water with a soap soluble in salt water. The employment of the described or other equivalent perfuming agents with the compound described in the foregoing results in the luxury attendant upon the use of Florida water or other toilet perfumes without the attendant expense.
I claim 1. The compound for use as a bath salt, comprising not less than eighty parts of salt (sodium chlorid) combined with not more than twenty parts of saponifiable and saponifying agents, substantially as described.
2. The compound comprising, not less than eighty parts of salt, combined with not more than twenty parts of saponifiable and saponifying agents having an excess of alkali,substantially as described.
3. The compound comprising not less than eighty parts of salt combined Withnot more than twenty parts of saponifying and saponifiable agents embracing oil, borax and sodaash in proportions to leave an excess of alkali, substantially as described.
4:. The compound comprising, not less than eighty parts of salt combined with not more than twenty parts of oil, glycerin, borax and soda-ash proportioned to leave a part of the alkali uncombined, substantially as described.
5. The compound for use as a bath salt, comprising not less than eighty parts of salt, combined with saponifiable, saponifying and perfuming agents not exceeding twenty parts, substantially as described.
6. The compound for use as a bath salt, comprising at least eighty parts salt, and not more than twenty parts of boraX, soda-ash, glycerin, oil and agents serving as a perfume, substantially as described.
7. The compound for use as a bath salt, comprising not less than eighty parts of salt, and not more than twenty parts of boraX, soda-ash, glycerin and oil combined With oil of lavender, oil of bergamot, sweet orange, and alcohol, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
- FREDERICK F. MYLES.
