To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that D. R, AvERILm'fomnerly of Newburg, Ouyahoga county, Ohio, now of New Gentrevill e, Oswego county, New York, did invent an Improvement in Point; and we, D. R. AvnnILL and THE Avnnrnr. Gunmen. ,Pnm'r Comrsnr, of the city, county, and-State of New York do hereby declare that the fol lowing is a iull and complete description of one example of the same-viz, of the ingredi nts, and of the manner of compounding them.

. The object of this invention is to provide a paint which may be supplied to the trade and to consumers in "a prepared liquid or mixed condition, andin suitable andconvenient packages, ready tor-use, and in any color or shade. In the use of the paints as now prepared great trouble and vexatious delays are encountered in mixing, coloring, and otherwise preparing them for use, as they must be'inixed at the time of using them, and used within a. short time of mixing, and ii 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, unlit. for use without regrind.

ing 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 qunntitiegwhichunnst be care.-

fully and skillfully mixed in such quantities only as may be readily used up: If a colored paint is required, many other separate packages of coloring-mutter must be used, which,

if dry, m'ustnlso be. ground, and to procure the shade desired great skill in the application of the coloring-matter is necessary; and not only with respect to the proper application of the coloringmetter is skill required, but also to prepare the paint, so that when it is applied it will be of such temper or consistency as to spread well and yet retziin sufficien tbody to cover the surface, sndnot run.

New, to'ohviat'e these difliculties, it is pro posed to provide a liquid paint ready mixed and fully prepared at the time of manufacturiug it, so that when the packages are opened it will be ready for immediate use, and which will reincin in such condition for any indefinite length of time, whether exposed to the at mosphere or not when not applied,

It will be readily perceived that prepared and mixed when being msnufectm'ed, where every facility for accomplishing the same with accuracy and uniformity may be every color and quality, with the nicest grad nations, and at less cost and delay'than the. present points of commerce,

Tothis endone example s providedmm,

hundred pounds of the oxide of zinc in a. dry state, and. grind it in twenty g'allohs of linseed-oil, towhich add a, compound prepared as foilows, viz.: Mixfive pounds of the acetate zincin s snilicient summit of water to give a, specific gravity of 3 Baurn' when the salts are dissolved. Then take a suilicient qnantt in water to muke'three gallons having a spe receive any tint or color desived by ndding coloringunatter to i/t;

White lead cramming-pigment may he used positive colors are desired, other pigments, may be used, such-as red, blue, etc, The light colors or tints may also he obtained lay mixing pigments in proper proportions the compound when first prepared,

Various other modifications of the above compound may he used to advantage; for inystu-uec, as a substitute for the silicate cisode,

sessions a paint so had, may be furnished to the consumer of.

the following preparation: First, take two,

of lead with ten pounds of the sulphate of 1 ty of the soluble silicate of soda dissolved ciiic gravity of 8 Bunnie; also, prepare glossy, cheap, and durable point, which may 1 in place of the aforementionedzinc. When silicate of potash or any other soluble silicate may be used, or carbonate of lime or chloride of calcium for the lime; also, any other suitable oil may be used instead of linseed, with or without glutinous matter. Turpentine may be used in place of benzine, and other equivalents of the aforesaid ingredients may be employed. v T;

Whatis claimed as the improvement of said AVERILL, and desired to be secured by Let ters Patent, is-- The combination of soluble silica, in any-of its forms, with a. liquid oleaginous paint, for the purpose set forth. 4
