PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or relating to the Manufacture or Treatment
of Size, the same being also applicable to the Manufacture or
Treatment of Glue and of Gelatine.
We, BERNARD CANNON, and WILLIAM JOSEPH CANNON, both of Gaunt
Street, Lincoln, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has especial reference to an improvement in or relating to the
manufacture or treatment of wet size, and of concentrated or powdered size; the
object of the invention being to obtain a product free from the disagreeable odour
inherent to such substance as at present produced, (and especially prevailing when
applied and used in the usual way for its ordinary purposes) and pervaded with an
aromatic antiseptic odour. The improvement is also applicable to the manufacture
of glue and powdered glue and of gelatine and powdered gelatine.
To this end, the invention consists in combining with or treating the materials
from which the size, glue or gelatine is prepared, during the process of boiling the
same down, or in combining with or treating the size, glue or gelatine resulting
from such boiling process, either when in its wet state, or during the drying thereof
if concentrated size is required, or during or subsequent to the grinding thereof if
concentrated or powdered size, glue or gelatine is required, a suitable quantity or
proportion of nitro-benzene, which may be added either in its liquid condition or
combined with ivoryite or satinite or other suitable vehicle thereto or in any other
suitable condition. Other suitable members of the group of aromatic compounds
derived from benzene, or any other suitable deodorizing aromatic and antiseptic
substance may also be used or added for the said purpose of imparting their aromatic
odour and antiseptic qualities to the size, glue or gelatine, and destroying its or
their usual disagreeable odour.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or relating to the Manufacture or Treatment
of Size, the same being also applicable to the Manufacture or
Treatment of Glue and of Gelatine.
We, BERNARD CANNON, and WILLIAM JOSEPH CANNON, both of Gaunt
Street, Lincoln, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has especial reference to an improvement in or relating to the
manufacture or treatment of wet size and of concentrated or powdered size, the
object of the invention being to obtain a product free from the disagreeable odour
inherent to such substance as at present produced, (and especially prevailing when
applied and used in the usual way for its ordinary purposes) and pervaded with an
aromatic or with an aromatic and antiseptic odour. The improvement is also
applicable to the manufacture of glue and powdered glue, and of gelatine and
powdered gelatine.
To this end, the invention consists in combining with or treating the material
from which the size, glue or gelatine is prepared during the process of boiling the

page_text: same down, or in combining with or treating the size, glue or gelatine resulting
from such boiling process, either when in its wet state, or during the drying thereof,
or during or subsequent to the grinding thereof if powdered size, glue or gelatine
is required; with a suitable quantity or proportion of nitro-benzene, which may be
added either in its liquid condition or combined with ivoryite or satinite or other
suitable vehicle thereto or in any other suitable condition.
Other members of the group of aromatic compounds derived from benzene may
also be added for the said purpose of imparting their aromatic, odour and antiseptic
qualities to the size, glue or gelatine and destroying the usual disagreeable odour
thereof.
Or, we may use for the like purpose, other suitable deodorizing, aromatic and
antiseptic substances, such, for example, as benzoin, camphor, myrrh, olibanum,
and other odoriferous gums;-eucalyptus, lavender, mint, rosemary, bergamot,
cedar, cloves, peppermint, rose, lemon, and other essential oils; or musk, castor,
civet ambergris and other animal perfumes.
The quantity of any of such materials required to be used, would depend upon
the strength thereof and the required result. As an example one part of musk
would suffice for about 7000 parts of size.
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 -
Deodorizing size, glue and gelatine and obtaining such products pervaded with
aromatic or aromatic and antiseptic odours, by combining with or treating the same
during or subsequent to the process of manufacture with aromatic or aromatic and
antiseptic materials.
