Complete Specification Left, 15th Feb., 1893-Accepted, 25th Mar., 1893
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Making Barrels and the like Liquid-tight.
We, Dr. ROLOF JÜRGENSEN, of Wöllau, Steiermark, in the Empire of Austria,
Chemist, FRIEDRICH NIESS, of 22 Grossau, Strassburg-Neudorf, and GUSTAV
GÜMBEL, of 41 Schiffleutstaden, Strassburg, both in the Empire of Germany, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In order to make receptacles for petroleum, more especially petroleum barrels,
and also receptacles for other hydrocarbons, such as benzene, fish oil, and the like,
liquid-tight so as to prevent the penetration of such liquids under any circumstances,
we pour into the receptacles a substance which is produced as follows:-
We concentrate the waste liquor derived from the manufacture of sulphite
cellulose to about 25 degrees Baumé. Then we mix about 70 parts of this
concentrated waste liquor with about 5 parts of boiling glue, glutin or other
albuminous substance, and add about 25 parts of hydraulic lime or cement or other
alkaline earth.
This mixture is poured into the receptacles to be made liquid-tight, which are
then turned in all directions in order to distribute the mixture over their entire inner
surface, whereupon the excess is run off. The layer which has adhered to the inner
surface of the receptacles will become dry in a few hours, after which the receptacles
may be filled with the liquid which they are to contain.
The said layer does not become hard and brittle under the action of the liquid
in the receptacle, but remains soft and plastic, so that it will not be liable to become
detached even by blows against the receptacle.
Dated this 26th day of May 1892.

GÜMBEL, of 41 Schiffleutstaden, Strassburg, both in the Empire of Germany, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
In order to make receptacles for petroleum, more especially petroleum barrels,

liquid-tight so as to prevent the penetration of such liquids under any circumstances
we pour into the receptacles a substance which is produced as follows :-
We concentrate the waste liquor derived from the manufacture of sulphite
cellulose to about 25 degrees Baumé. Then we mix about 70 parts of this
concentrated waste liquor with about 5 parts of boiling glue, gluten or other
albuminous substance, and add about 25 parts of hydraulic lime or cement or other
alkaline earth.
This mixture is poured into the receptacles to be made liquid-tight, which are
then turned in all directions in order to distribute the mixture over their entire.
inner surface, whereupon the excess is run off. The layer which has adhered to
the inner surface of the receptacles will become dry in a few hours, after which
the receptacles may be filled with the liquid which they are to contain.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what.we
claim is
A method of rendering receptacles for fish oils, hydrocarbon oils such as
petroleum, benzene and the like and other oils, liquid-tight, consisting in coating
the interior of the receptacles with a substance composed of waste liquor from
cellulose manufactories, which is evaporated to about 25 degrees Baumé, combined
with hydraulic lime cement or other alkaline earth, and with glue gluten or other
albuminous substance.
