improve saponaceous and bleaching compounds
Year: 1898

page_text: I, HUGH YOUNG, of 113, Rutherglen Road, Glasgow, Fitter, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improved saponaceous and bleaching compounds.
The saponaceous compound consists of the following ingredients in or about
the proportions named, viz.:
Babbits powder ½ lb.
Matchless Cleanser 1 lb.
Salts of tartar 2 oz.
Soda crystals ¼ lb.
Quassia chips in solution 2 tea spoon.
The bleaching compound consists of the following ingredients in or about the
proportions named, viz.:
Pearl ash ½ lb. to gallon.
Soda crystals 2 lb.
Salts of tartar ½ lb.
Quassia chips in solution 2 tea spoonfuls.
. Clothes or other articles are first washed with the saponaceous compound and
then cleared with the bleaching compound.
Clothes can be washed much more easily and rapidly with these compounds
than with the compounds at present in use.
The soap can be used as a composition for lifting and (or) transferring inks
and such like. It is found that lettering and devices in printers' ink can be
readily transferred with the soap. The composition can be used in any well
known manner.
Dated this 3rd day of February 1898.

page_text: When making the compound I first cut up the Matchless Cleanser into pieces
and then mix the Babbits powder with it. I then dissolve the mixture in boiling
water and stir it well. The chemicals and quassia chips are mixed together
separately and boiled and this mixture is then added to the Matchless Cleanser
mixture and stirred. The compound is now allowed to cool for 12 hours or so
and then it is re-boiled and finally poured off into moulds.
The bleaching compound consists of the following ingredients mixed together
in or about the proportions named, viz. :-
Pearl ash
lb. to gallon.
Soda crystals 2 lb.
Salts of tartar ½ lb.
Quassia chips in solution 2 tea spoonfuls.
Ammonia (crystals) 2 ozs.
The ingredients of this compound are all mixed together, with the exception
of the ammonia, and boiled until dissolved. When the solution is cold the
ammonia is put into it and finally the compound is filled into bottles and properly
corked.
Clothes or other articles are first washed with the saponaceous compound and
then cleared with the bleaching compound.
Clothes can be washed much more easily and rapidly with these compounds
than with the compounds at present in use.
The soap can be used as a composition for lifting and (or) transferring inks
and such like. It is found that lettering and devices in printers' ink can be
readily transferred with the soap. The composition can be used in any well
known manner, for instance, in the same manner as with a jelly-graph.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
1 consider novel and desire to claim is:-
1. A saponaceous compound consisting of the ingredients hereinbefore specified
compounded together substantially in the manner and in or about the proportions
siated.
2. A bleaching compound consisting of the ingredients herein before specified
mixed together in or about the proportions stated.
