UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JOHN PALMER, OF WEST BRIGHTON, NEW YORK.

PAINT.

,srncxmon'non forming m .of Reissned LettersPatent No. 11,255, dated July 26, 1892. Original No. 350,765, dated October 12, 1386. Application for reissue filed October 18, I887. Serial No. 252,763.

To all whom, it may concern:

, Be it known that I, JOHN HENRY PALMER, of West New Brighton, in the county of Richmond and State of New Yi ork, have invented a. new and Improved Paint, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Prior to my invention thematter remaining after the usual process employed for purifying the oil extracted from flaxseed-that is, linseed-oilby' subjecting such oil to forced filtration in a filter press has been of little or no value, as this matter or residuum was considered as so much waste material; but I have discovered that by combining this residuum with a certain amount of linseed-oil an excellent'and'durable paint (or, more exactly, a paint-body) may be produced. My composition-consists of the following ingredients, which maybe combined in the proportions stated: Residuum of linseed-oil, three parts, by bulk; linseed-oil, one part. These ingredients are to be thoroughly mixed according to any method con'nnonly used for mixing paints, such as by grinding in a paintmill. These proportions are suitable forwhat ,is known as paste-paint. This paint may be applied as any ordinary form of paint is applied, being thinned with turpentine to the proper consistency for working with a brush. Withouta pigment it maybe used as a primer.

For the further information ofthe public I will state that I have found it preferable to melt the said residuum of linseetL-oil by a gentle heat and then to strain it i order to remove foreign particles; also, for ordinary house-painting I have found the following proportions the most satisfactory, namely:

as an ingredient for paints.

residuum of linseed-oil, one part, by bulk; pigment ground in oil, one part, by bulk; lin seed-oil or turpentine, about four to six parts, by bulk, or enough to thin the paint to the. proper consistency for working.

I expressly disclaim theuse as a paint ingredient of the residuum resulting from the old process of purifying linseed-oil (usually boiled oil) by precipitation, as I am well aware that this residuum, which is known as linseed-oil foots, haslon g been known and used The residuum which I use is the waxy cake which comes out of the'fiIter-p'resses through which linseed-oil,

and more especially boiled oil, or the said foots, has been forced in order to purify or clarify it.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is r I 1. The herein described composition of matter constituting a paint,' consisting of the residuum of linseed-oil resulting from the purification of such oil by forced filtration, combined with linseed-oil, substantially as specilied. v r

2. The herein-described composition of matter constituting a paint, consisting of the residuum of linseed-oil. resulting from the purification of such oil by forced filtration, co nbin'ed uithlinseedoil, in proportions substautially as specified.
