COMPOSITION FOR CLOSING PUNCTURES IN PNEUMATIC TIRES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 609,636, dated August 23, 1898. Application filed May 12,1898. Serial No. 680,491. (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, EDWARD THURLOW, engineer, residing at No. 19 Albert road, Albert Park, near Melbourne, and PERCY NOR- MAN I-IIGNETT, salesman, residing at No. 7 Grey street, St. Kilda, in the British Colony of Victoria, have invented an Improved Elastic Viscous Composition Principally Useful for Automatically Closing and Sealing Punctures in Pneumatic Tires, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has been devised mainly for the purpose of providing means for automatically closing and sealing punctures in pneumatic tires for bicycles, although it is obvious that it is applicable for a similar purpose to pneumatic tires for vehicles and flexible pneumatic tubes, pads, and cushions of every description.
It consists of the following ingredients mixed in the manner and proportions substantially as set forth-that is to say, twentyfour parts of pure india-rubber are placed in a suitable vessel and sub'ected to heat until the rubber isthoropgLy neltedT WheTfthis has been accomplished and the melted rubber is at or about boiling-point, three parts of French chalk are added and thoroughly mixed. This mixture is then allowed to cool to about 180 Fahrenheit, when four parts of meal, preferably wheatmeal, are added and thoroughly mixed with it. This is then allowed to cool to about 160 Fahrenheit, when one part of glycerin is added, and the whole thoroughly mixed together, the product being our improved elastic viscous composition.
It will be seen that the india-rubber is the basis of our composition. The French chalk is added for the purpose of stiffening the composition, the wheat-meal is added for the purpose of thickening it without hardening it, and the glycerin is added for preserving its viscosity.
Instead of pure india-rubber impure may be used so long as it is not adulterated to too great an extent. If it will not sink in water,
it is sufficiently pure for the purpose of assistin g in the manufacture of our composition. If it will sink, it is not advisable to use it.
Vulcanized india-rubber might be used if it were heated until all the sulfur it contained were driven off. In any case the ber s h o l,lld be a bout the consispen cy of very thick molasses, and when the French chalk is added it should be about the consistency of light dough.
As to the glycerin, the mixture must not be sufficiently cooled as to prevent the glycerin being intimately mixed with it, and in the event of the composition being required for use in cold countries a larger proportion of glycerin may be added, so as to prevent the composition becoming too hard.
Our composition may be spread by any suitable means onto the inner surface of the tube, pad, or cushion to which it is to be applied, and may be .put on to any thickness which the operator may think desirable, and it must be covered with some suitable material to prevent its adhering together when the two sides of the tube, pad, or cushion are compressed together. When being used for what is known as the Fleus tire, we pre fer to place it between the folds of the fabric constituting the inner part of the tire. Its
operation is that when the tube is punctured,
say by a nail or any other article, a certain proportion of our composition will remain attached to the nail, and as it is withdrawn the composition will automatically follow it and close and seal the orifice which has been formed by the puncturing article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is- The herein-described elastic viscous composition consisting of melted india-rubber, chalk, meal and glycerin, in about the proportions and for the purpose specified.
EDWARD THURLOW. PERCY NORMAN HIGNETT.
