DAMON R. AVERILL, OF NE W'BURG,.OHIO.

IMPROVEMENT m PAINTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.66,773, dated July 16, i867; reissue No; 3,061,

dated July 28, 1868.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAMON It. AVERILL, of Newburg, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful- Improvement in Paints; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of one example of the same, of the ingredients used, and of the manner of compounding them.

The object of this invention is to provide a point which may be supplied to the trade and to consumersina prepared or mixed condition, in suitable and convenient packages, already for use, and in any color or shade.

. 1n the'use of thepaints as now prepared great trouble and vexatious delay are encountered in mixing, coloring, and otherwise preparing them for use, as they must be mixed at the time of using them, and used within a short time of mixing, and if there be any residue the mineral part very soon separates from the oil and settles at the bottom in a hard and lumpy mass, totally unfit for use without 'regrindiug. To prepare it in the first place requires the procuring of the several ingredients-such as white lead, oil, turpentine,

and the drier-al1 in separate packages and in various quantities, which must be carefully and skillfully mixed, and in such quantities only as may be readily used. If a colored paint is required many other separate packages of coloring matter must be used, which,-

.'if dry, must also be ground, and to procure the shade desired great skill in the application of the coloring matter is necessaryand not only with respect to the proper application of the coloring matter is skill required but also to prepare the paint so that when it 1s applied it will be of such temper or consistency as to spread well, and yet retain sufficient body to cover the surface and not run.

. Now, to obviate these difliculties I propose to provide a paint susceptible of being mixed and fully prepared at the time of manufactur-. ing itso that when the packages are opened it wil be ready for immediate use, and which will remain in such condition for any indefinite length of time, whether exposed vto the atmosphere or not.

It will be readily perceived that a paint .linseed.

prepared and mixed, when being manul'ue? tured where every facility for accomplishing the same with accuracy and uniformity may be had, maybe furnished to the consumer, of

every color and quality, with the nicest graduations, and at less cost and delay than the present paints of commerce.

To this end I have provided, as one example, the following preparation: I first take two hundred pounds of the oxideo'f zinc in a dry state, and grind it in twenty gallons of linseed-oil, to which I add a compound prepared as follows, viz: Mix five pounds of the acetate of lead with ten"pounds of the sulphate of zinc in a sufficient amount of water to give a specific gravity of 3 Baumflwhen the salts are dissolved.- I then take a suflicient quantity of the soluble silicate of soda, dissolved in water,.to make three-gallons having a specific gravity of S llaum. I also prepare six gallons of a saturated solution of lime-water. the mixture of the acetate of lead and zinc solution with three gallons of the solution of the silicate of soda, and add six gallons of limewater and six gallons of linseedoil. These are all combined, and then compounded with the aforementioned two hundred pounds of ground zinc and oil, after which I are added six gallohs of benzine, and the whole compound is then thoroughly ground together, producing a white, glossy, cheap, and durable paint, which may receive any color or tint desired by adding coloring matter to it.

White lead or coloring-pigment may be used in place of the aforementioned zinc, when positive colors are desired. The light colors or tiuts may also be obtained by mixing the pigments in proper proportions with the compound when first prepared. v

Various other modifications of the above compound may be used to advantage, as, for instance, as a substitute for the silicate of soda silicate of 'potash may be used, or carbonate of lime, or chloride of calcium; also,

any othersuitable oil may be used instead or Wh'atjI claim as my improvement,-and de sire tosecure'by Letters Patent, is-
