For the purpose of my invention, I take, say-
az 11
16 lbs. coaldust
6 lbs. ground cork
12 lbs. leather waste in small particles
40 lhe rasin or witch
These ingredients are brought into a pasty substance by heat and well amalgamated
by stirring, a slight increase of either body being added to bring the mass to the
desired consistency, or if desired, a small quantity of paraffine wax can be thrown
into the cauldron.

page_text: 1, EDWIN FREDERICK GWYNNE, of Donegal House, Lower Clapton, Middlesex,
Valuer, Surveyor and Contractor 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 :-
The object of this invention is, the admixture of certain ingredients or materials in
or about the following proportions and in moulding said compound into suitable sizes
and shapes, as fire lighters, said moulded articles having apertures, grooves, or channels
for the passage of air to support combustion.
For the purpose of my invention, 1 take, say-
26 lbs. Coarse sawdust
16 lbs. Coaldust
6 lbs. Ground cork
12 lbs. Leather waste in small particles
These ingredients are brought to a pasty substance by heat and well amalgamated
by stirring, a slight increase of either body being added to bring the mass to the
desired consistency, or if desired a small quantity of Paraffine wax can be thrown into
the cauldron.
The mass can be moulded to any pattern or device and be plain, perforated, grooved,
notched, or otherwise for vent purposes while burning but I prefer to mould, by
pressure or not, the combination of ingredients to the shape shown on the annexed
drawing which represents the underside of a fire lighter A with radial channels B, B,
leading from the periphery to the centre aperture C for the passage of air to support
combustion. D, D, are hollows in the face, against the edges of which and into said
hollows the flame licks itself and spreads over the surface between the ribs E.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
--
The combination of the ingredients above named in or about the proportions"
indicated and the moulding of blocks, discs, or other shaped articles (but preferably
of the particulars hape shown on the drawing) therefrom for fire lighting purposes as
set forth.
