Division B;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that D. R. AVE RILL, formerly of Newburg, Cuyaho'ga county, Ohio, now of New Oentreville,0swego county, New York,

did invent an Improvement in Paint; and we, D. R. AVEBILL and THE AVERILL CHEMICAL- PAINT COMPANY, of the city, county, and State of New York, do-hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of one example of the same-via, of theingredi cuts and of the manner of compounding them.

The object of this invention is to provide a paint which maybe supplied to the trade and to consumers in a prepared liquid or mixed condition, and in suitable and convenient packages, ready for use, and in any color or shade. In the use ofthe'paints as now prepared great trouble and vexatious delays 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 or semi-solid mass,

- unfit for use without regrinding or remixing.

.To prepare it, in the first place, requires the procuring of the several ingredients, such as white lead, oil, turpentine, and the drier, all in separate packages and in various quantities, which must be carefully and skillfully mixed in such quantities. only as may be readily used up. If a colored paint is requiredmany other separate packages of coloring-matter must be used, which, if dry must also be ground, and to procure the shadeflesired great skill in the application of the coloring-matter is necessary;

and 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 is applied it will be of such temper oi consistency as to spread well and yet r'etaiii suflicient y to cover the surface and not run. New, to obviate these -diinculties,it'is pro= posed to provide a liquid paint ready mixed and fullyprepared at the time of manufacturing it, so that when the packages are opened it will be ready for immediate use, and which will remain in such condition for any indefinite length of time, whether exposed to the atmosphere or not when not applied.

, It will be readily perceived thata paintSo prepared and mixed, when being manufactured where every facility for accom'plishin g the same with accuracy and uniformity may be had, may be 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. v I

To this end one example is provided-via, the following preparation: First, take two hundred pounds of the oxide of zi ie', in a dry state, and grind; it in twenty gallons of liuseedoil, to which add a compoundpreparedas follows, viz.': Mixfive pounds of the-acetate of lead with ten pounds of the sulphate of zinc in a' suflicient amount of water to give-a specific gravity of 3 Bauni when the salts are dissolved. Then take a suflicient quantity of the soluble silicate of soda dissolved in water to make three gallons, having a specific gravity of 8 Baum; also, prepare six gallons of a saturated solution of lime in water. Now take added six gallons 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 de-' sired by adding coloring-matter to it.

White lead or coloring-pi gm ent may be used in place of the aforementioned zinc. When positive colors are desired, other pigments may be used, suchas red, blue, &c.- The light 001 ors or tints 'may'also be obtained by mixing pigments in -proper proportions with the com poundswhen 'first prepared. 7 I Variousothe'r modifications of the above compound may be used to advantage; for instance, as a substitute for the silicate of soda,

silicate of potash or any other soluble silicate may be used, or carbonate of lime or chloride of calcium for the lime; alseya ny other ,suitafor useduring its manufacture and whieh will ble oil may be used insteadof linseed, with or be preserved-in such condition, substantially without glutinous matter. Turpentine may as and for the purpose described.

be used in place of benzine, and other equiv D. R. AVERILL. i alents of the aforesaid in gredients may be em- AVERILL CHEMICAL PAINT 00., ployed. By M. OADY, Vice President.
