'UNiT n STATES PATENT Genres,
PnTEmo. s rinn, OF SEYMOUR, IOWA.
' seM sMoKELEss eowoeasrnorrzcnrxoiv m s part of jnetters latent No. 691,919, dated J nuar as, 1902. Application filed November 26, 1900. Renewed November 25, 1901; Serial No 83,629. (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PETER C. STIRE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seymour, in the county of Wayne and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful invention in Semismokeless Powder,'of which the following is a specification.-:
My object is to provide a powder liy com-' binin g mineral and vegetable productsin such a. manner as to increase the maximum explosive force of any given quantity and to diminish the minimuu'ro'f smoke when it is burned, so that the powder may be properly termed semismokeless and be well adapted for use in firearms, blasting in mines, and for all the purposes for which combustible explosive powder is commonly used.
Myinvention consists in inixing tlie following ingredients in about the following proportions--viz., prussiate potassium, twelve (12) ounces; chlorate potassium, sixteen (16; ounces; dry meal made of grain, two 2 ounces; kiln-dried wood sawdust, one 1) ounce.
sawdust may be Oornmeal is preferably used, and the wood dispensed with or comminuted charcoal substituted therefor. The ingredients are all reduced, so tha they can be readily mingled by agitation, or in any suitable Way, so the different substances will be uniformly distributed in any 'iven quantity that may be prepared for commercial purposes and practical use. The degree of fineness'to ,which they are reduced before mixing them may vary to suit the different purposes for which thepowder is to be used. What I claim, and desire to secure by Lettors Patent of the United States, is-- An explosive powder composed of prussiate potassium, chlorate potassium, cornmeal and wood sawdust, in the manner set forth for the purposes stated.
