PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Preventing Radiation of Heat from Boilers,
Pipes, and the like.
I, GEORGE BESTWICK, of 192, Green Lane, Patricroft, in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide improved means for preventing
radiation of heat from boilers, pipes and the like.
For the purpose of this invention I employ the interior hard substance of
carrozo pippin that is obtained after the rind and fruit has been removed there-
from, and steep said hard substance in a solution of chloride of lime for several
hours. I then grind the aforesaid substance into a powder and add thereto
cotton seed and cork in a powdered form and flue dust or carbon. I mix these
ingredients in equal proportions with a liquid obtained from the star fish or jelly
fish. I pass the mixture through rolls and form a cloth or band that may be
fixed on hot or cold pipes from which no steam or vapour will arise.

Improved Means for Preventing Radiation of Heat from Boilers,
Pipes, and the like.
I, GEORGE BESTWICK, of 192, Green Lane, Patricroft, in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, 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 improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to means
for preventing the radiation of heat from boilers pipes and the like.
According to this invention I produce a composition for the purposes to which
I have above referred by a combination of the corozo nut that is obtained
from the corozo pippin after the rind and fruit has been removed therefrom,
generally known as the ivory nut or seed of a tropical American palm, with
certain ingredients hereinafter named and in the manner described.
I steep the corozo nut in a solution of chloride of lime for several hours and
then grind it into a powder, I add thereto cotton seed and cork in a powdered
form and flue dust or carbon; I mix these ingredients in equal proportions with
[Price 8d]

page_text: a liquid obtained from the star fish or jelly fish, thereby making it into a paste
which I pass through rolls and form a cloth or band of any required thickness.
The aforesaid liquid is of a glutinous nature and has a cooling effect.
When said cloth or band is applied to steam or other pipes it will prevent loss
of heat and no vapour will arise.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same' is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A composition for preventing radiation of heat from boilers pipes and the
like that is obtained by a combination of the corozo or ivory nut with cotton seed,
cork, flue dust or carbon and a liquid obtained from the star fish or jelly fish in
the manner substantially as herein before described.
2. For covering boilers, steam or other pipes and for like uses a cloth or bandl
which is obtained by passing through rolls a paste that is produced by a combina-
tion of the corozo or ivory nut with cotton seed, cork, flue dust or carbon and
liquid obtained from the star fish or jelly fish in the manner substantially as
hereinbefore described.
