PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or Appertaining to Composition or Soap Used for
Cleansing and Disinfecting Purposes.
I, JOHN CROSSLEY of Sessions Road, Kirkdale, Liverpool, in the County of
Lancaster, Furrier, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its principal object a soap or compound acting both as a
soap and a disinfectant.
I form my compound of three ingredients, first.-Soda crystals, soda ash or other
alkali or alkaline salt useful for soap-making. I prefer, however, soda crystals or
soda ash, especially the soda ash made by the ammonia soda process as best for the
purpose. Secondly, soap of any ordinary type. Of course if the fatty ingredients of
soap were added to the soda ash already described, and boiled, a soap would ensue,
and if the soda ash were in larger quantity than is requisite to make soap precisely
the same effect would be produced as the addition of the soda ash to soap. Thirdly.
Petroleum or almost any of the distillation products of petroleum, liquid but not liable
to become gaseous at ordinary temperatures.
In carrying out my invention the soda ash and the soap are ground together and
then when thoroughly mixed the petroleum is further added. In this way I obtain
either a paste or a powder dependent upon the quantity of petroleum added. I prefer
either a paste or a powder to solid blocks though it is obvious that the powder could
bo pressed into blocks and sold as ordinary cakes.

Improvements in or Appertaining to Composition or Soap Used for
Cleansing and Disinfecting Purposes.
1, JOHN CROSSLEY of Sessions Road, Kirkdale, Liverpool, in the County of
Lancaster, Furrier, 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 :-
This invention has for its principal object a soap or compound acting both as a soap
and a disinfectant.
I form my compound of three ingredients, first soda crystals, soda ash or other
alkali or alkaline salt useful for soap making. I prefer, however, soda crystals or
soda ash, especially the soda ash made by the ammonia soda process as best for the
purpose. Secondly, soap of any ordinary type. Of course if the fatty ingredients of
soap were added to the soda ash already described, and boiled, a soap would ensue,
and if the soda ash were in larger quantity than is requisite to make soap, precisely
the same effect would be produced as the addition of the soda ash to soap. Thirdly,
petroleum, or almost any of the distillation products of petroleum, liquid, but not
liable to become gaseous at temperatures under the heat of the water to be used in
washing.
Ι carry out my invention in the following manner :-
To one ton of tallow, I add 200 gallons of soda lye containing 25 pounds of actual
caustic soda: this is boiled gently for four hours. Fresh grease and stronger lye are
then added and the operation repeated again and again with increasing quantities of
grease and stronger lyes, and later on add paraffin oil, the proportions being so

page_text: regulated that at the end of the sixth day, on the addition of sufficient sodium
chloride to the mixture, a separation takes place having approximately the
constitution,
To the separated soap I now add about 40 per cent of its weight of powdered soda
crystals, or soda asb, and thoroughly mix, cool, and grind together till thoroughly
.incorporated. For use in very damp countries a little less water is allowed in the
mixture.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
The manufacture of a soap containing the ordinary ingredients of soap, and an
additional amount of alkali and paraffin oil combined together, or intimately blended,
substantially in the manner described.
