Year: 1885

page_text: I, WILLIAM ALEXANDER CARLYLE of Constitution Hill, Birmingham Manu-
facturer of Electro-plating and Polishing Machinery, Plant, and Materials do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE Manu-
FACTURE OF POLISHING PASTES to be as follows:-
To prepare a polishing paste that will retain its desired consistancy, so that it is:
ready for immediate and direct use upon the articles desired to be polished, an
object which has not been satisfactorily attained before. My invention relates to
improvements in the manufacture of polishing pastes, for general and domestic use.
for polishing or cleaning Metals. My invention which overcomes the before
mentioned difficulties, consists in the admixture of the necessary powder or
material to be used for the polishing of different metals, or surfaces, such as Rouge,
Tripoli, Rottonstone, Crocus, Bath-Brick, Emery or other suitable ingrediant or
ingrediants, as one or more may be used; by the addition of Vaseline or other oil,
or grease made from petroleum, in such proportions, as to form an easily applied
paste. The ingredients and the Vaseline are readily mixed together in a vessel, or
with other suitable appliances.

page_text: I, WILLIAM ALEXANDER CARLYLE, of Constitution Hill, Birmingham, Manu-
facturer of Electro-plating and Polishing Machinery, Plant and Materials, 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:
My invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of polishing pastes for
general and domestic use for polishing or cleaning metals, the object being to
prepare a polishing paste that will retain its desired consistency, so that it is ready
for immediate and direct use upon the articles desired to be polished, which object
has not hitherto been satisfactorily attained.
My invention, which overcomes the before mentioned difficulties, consists in the
admixture of the necessary powder or material to be used for the polishing of
different metals or surfaces, such powder or material for instance as Rouge, Tripoli,
Rottonstone, Crocus, Bath Brick, Emery or other suitable polishing ingredient .or
ingredients either in combination or separately, with the addition of Vaseline or
other oil or grease made from petroleum in such proportions as to form an easily
applied paste. The ingredient or ingredients and the Vaseline are readily mixed
together in a vessel, or with other suitable appliances.
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
I claim is
1. In the manufacture of polishing pastes the application and use of Vaseline or
other oil or grease made from petroleum for mixing with the polishing ingredient
or ingredients so as to form a paste as herein described.
2. The improved polishing paste herein before described, that is to say, a polishing
paste consisting of an admixture of Vaseline or other oil or grease made from
petroleum with Rouge, Tripoli, Rottonstone, Crocus, Bath Brick, Emery or other
polishing powder or material either separately or with two or more of such powders
or materials in combination as herein described.
