No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J 011x J. FINE, a citizen of the United States, residing at \Vashington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Mixtures,of which .the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to lubricating oils, but more particularly to that class of compounds known in commerce as oilmixtures; and it has for its chief object to provide an inexpensive and eflicient compound for mixing with vegetable, animal or mineral oils, lards, tallows, greases or fats, whether in a crude or refined state. the purpose being to increase the bulk, and, in some instances to add to the efliciency of the oil as a lubricant.

Many of the lubricatingoils in common use are liable to become thick and gummy where used on journals of comparatively high speed, and this condition leads to hot journal bearings. Even with the better grades of lubricating oils this condition exists to a greater or lesser extent, and to overcome this defect, in lubricants of whatever grade, is another object of my invention.

This compound is also adapted for use with paints, or linseed oil, either boiled or raw, and serves to add materially to the bulk of the paint without changing the color or affecting the gloss, appearance, or durability of the paint when applied.

For engine and cylinder oils, the compound or mixture is especially eflicient in keeping the bearings cool and clean.

My compound or mixture comprises the following ingredients, viz: unslaked lime of best quality; pulverized French chalk; carbonate of potash; calcined magnesia; pulverized borax, and sal soda or soda ash. The proportions which I have found, by experiment to give the best results, are preferably as follows for making, say fifty gallons of the compound, viz:

Sal soda or soda ash Sounces.

These ingredients are placed in a suitable receptacle, and 10 to 12 gallons of hot water are added to dissolve and intermingle the various constitutents. Forty to forty-five Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 8, 1909. Serial No. 521,653.

Patented Jan. 4, 1910.

gallons of cold water are then added and thoroughly mixed by stirring, after which the mixture is allowed to settle. I.do not Wish to be understood as confining myself to any specific quantity of water, either hot or cold, as the quantity may be varied according to the condition and character of the oils, grease, etc. employed. After the sediment has gone to the bottom of the receptacle, the clear liquid is permitted to remain in the receptacle to be drawn off as required for use.

To make forty gallons of good quality cylinder or engine lubricating compound, I prefer to take:

Lard oil or cylinder oil 17 gallons; Castor oil, or machine oil 3 gallons; The above described mixture 20 gallons.

If it is desired to produce a good black oil lubricant, say forty gallons, the followmg ingredients and proportions are preferred, viz:

Any kind of black or machine oil 15 gallons; Lard oil, animal oil, or cheap grease 5gallons;

The above described mixture--- 20 gallons.

If greater body is desired, add more mixture.

The alkaline constituents of the mixture act as. a detergent in keeping the journals clean, while the Water has a cooling effect.

The mixture readily incorporates with oil or grease, producing an emulsion, the chalk being held in suspension, and does not separate or change the color or appearance of the oil, and it adds materially to the lubricating quality of any oil with which it is incorporated, and nearly doubles the quantity at slight cost.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is 1. A lubricating compound comprising a lubricating oil, containing saponifying oil, emulsified with a mixture consisting of lime-Water, French chalk, carbonate of potash, magnesia, borax, and sal soda, in ap proximately the proportions specified.

2. A lubricating compound comprising a lubricating oil, containing saponifying oil, emulsified with a mixture consisting of unslaked lime, 14 to 15 pounds; pulverized French chalk, 20 ounces; carbonate of potash, 22 ounces; calcined magnesia, 16 ounces; I

5 pulverized borax, 16 to 20 ounces, and sai soda or soda ash, 8 ounces.

' In testlmony whereof I affix my signature l in presence of two Witnesses.
