OF ARTICLES WHERE INDIA-RUBBER OR GUTTA PERCHA IS USED" in which said
Letters Patent is contained a proviso that we the said William Biockedon
and Thomas Hancock or one of us shall cause a particular description of the
nature of our said Invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed by an instrument in wilting under our hands and seals or under
the hand and seal of one of us to be enrolled in Hei said Majesty's High

page_text: Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after the
date of the said in part recited Letters Patent as in and by the same reference
being thereunto had will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE that in compliance with the said proviso we the said
William Brockedon and Thomas Hancock do hereby declare that the nature
of our said Invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed are
fully described and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof―
The improvements we have made in the manufacture of articles where
india-rubber or gutta peicha is used consists of peculiar means of applying
these substances to a variety of purposes to which they have not heretofole
been so applied by means of the processes described in the Specification of a
Patent granted to Mi Alexander Parkes dated the Twenty-fifth day of March
One thousand eight hundred and forty six entitled "Improvements in the
Preparation of certain Vegetable and Animal Substances and in.certain Com-
binations of the same Substances alone or with other Matters." The pio-
cesses enumerated in this Patent produce certain changes in the qualities
of caoutchouc and gutta percha some of them similar to those produced by
sulphur and heat in the process now termed "vulcanizing" in others purify-
mg and colouring those substances and by these means rendering them
suitable to a great variety of purposes
In this Specification we propose to follow Mr Parkes generally in calling
these substances by the names of caoutchouc, and gutta percha which will
be found convenient but we wish to be understood that when using these
terms we intend to comprehend all those peculiar hydrocarbon substances
known to botanists as a vegetable constituent under the various names
by which caoutchouc" or "india-1ubber"
Some of these are
1s known
derived from the country from which they are obtained as Para Assam West
Indian Madagascar Java &c Some are names given by the natives such as
saikwah, jintawan, gutta tuban, gutta percha, dolla &c others from the
condition in which it is received as liquid, cake, bottle, root, sheet, scrap &c
and they differ also in color some being black others white, red, brown,
yellow, mot led &c Many of these varieties are reported by Dr Roxburg,
Lieut. Veitch and others in the Transactions of the Agricultural and Horticul
tural Society of India and these products also vary in then hardness from
that of solidity of wood to that of the soft and viscous state of birdlime which
does not haiden naturally And we would state that india-rubber or the
peculiar property of the vegetable matter fist introduced into this country
under that name consists in this that it is tapped from a tree or plant
and for the most part it coagulates part of the fluidity being evaporated

page_text: the product thus obtained 13 not soluble in water and in this particular it
differs from ordinary gums, sugar, and starch, and further india-rubber and
all other of the vegetable products having the properties above mentioned
will on distillation produce caoutchoucine. These substances under whatever
name and however mixed and compounded are all liquified by the same
solvents and all require in the preliminary manipulations and manufacture
the same or simple modifications of the same modes of treatment as ordinary
india-rubber these being solvents also destructive distillation to obtain the
spirit called caoutchoucine also to rolleis, masticating, spreading cutting and
other machines also to processes for coloning, embossing painting moulding
&c &c which are well known and been before described in the Specifications
of other Patents amongst others in the Specifications of the Patents granted
to the within-named Thomas Hancock dated the Eighteenth of April One
thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven the Twenty-thud day of January
One thousand eight hundred and thuty-eight, the Twenty-first of November
One thousand eight hundred and forty-three and the Eighteenth of Maich
One thousand eight hundred and forty-six as well as to the first-named Patent
of Mr Parkes The details of manipulation which are described in these
Patents will be found amply sufficient for the guidance of any workman
conversant with such manufactures and we have found the proportions
enumerated therein to answet well for general operations and for the several
purposes for which they may be requued With regard to dissolving varieties
apparently different such as ordinars india-rubbe. and gutta peicha it may be
necessary to mention that the process is precisely the same in all respects with
both during summer and although the former may be dissolved at any of the
ordinas temperatnes of the atmosphere yet the process is facilitated by
heat and may therefore at all times be cautied on advantageously in the
same 100m with gutta percha which should have a temperature of from
SU° to 90° Fah' It is also necessary to keep both the spreader and the
bed of the spreading machine heated when using gutta percha oi com-
pound and the same remark applies to the masticating machine say from one
hundred and ninety to two huudied degrees Fahrenheit
The principal
defect of gutta perch consists in this that although much harder than
ordinary india-rubber (meaning by that name that description which was
hist brought into this country) when at low temperature it becomes incon-
veniently yielding and plastic at comparatively low temperatures when com-
pared with ordinary india-rubber but it is found by treating it according to
Mi. Paikes' Patent this property is materially obviated both in respect to its
hardness and capability of beaning heat We would here obscive that when

page_text: we hereafter adopt from Mi Paikes' Specification the word "change" we
use it to denote the same process on processes and also that by the word
" immersion "the mode of producing the change by immersing articles in
solvents capable of producing such change" is meant which process we
generally prefer. We render leather cloth linen silk and other fabrics and
materials partially oi entnelv waterproof by coating then surfaces oi umung
two or more of them together with caoutchouc gutta percha or a compound
of these matters in a state of solution or otherwise as described in the Patents
of the said Thomas Hancock before referred to and we make the coated
surfaces of these cloths either plain colored embossed printed or otherwise
ornamented and then produce the "change" by immersion these manufactures
differing from those of Mi. Paikes' and Mi Hancock's Invention only
inasmuch as operating on the manufactured article in place of acting on the
1aw material of caoutchouc gutta percha or the compounds of these materials
A convement mode of immersion with pinted or dyed fabrics coated on one
side only is to join up the selvages the whole length and the ends and render
When it is
the seam waterproof and then immerse it in this bag like toim
necessary to protect fibrous and other substances liable to injury by contact
with the changing solvents we coat or situate them with glue-size and
remove it afterwards by insing in warm water O we employ an aqueous
solution of lac which we afterwards remove by any stable alkaline solution
By the same means we stop out the effect of the changing solvent in any part
of an article formed of caoutchouc gutta percha or a compound thereof
These manufactures we introduce into a great variety of articles such as
cloaks capes, conts, overalls, fishing stockings, coliais, stocks, hats, caps
bounets, hat linings, hatbands, apious and other articles of diess or to be worn
about the person also table cloths, wrappers cauage 100fs scats and linings
portable baths, diving dresses, life preservers, beds cushions pads and other
pneumatic articles punters' blankets sieve cloths, card backs diaperies
hangings, covering walls These articles are made up by modes similar to
those commonly practised in making up caoutchoucgoods When thesearticles
require seams or to be other wise sewed together the waterproofing substanco
(solutions of the above materials) employed to such parts will requc after
wards to undergo the "change" by applying the converting solvent with
- blush or otherwise We sometimes make up garments or other articles of
dress such as gloves gaiters shoes boots leggings galoshes overalls aprons
portmanteausandother similar articles either of leather cloth or other materia
and then apply coatings of caoutchouc gutta percha or of then compounds in
a state of solution colored or plain by dipping on by hand with a brush o

page_text: We
"
other means and after wards "immeise" them to obtain the change
would here remark that although gutta percha is improved by the change" in
respect to its clasticity it is still inferior in that respect to ordinar vindia-rubber
and still possesses so little elasticity that it should be introduced sparingly it
at all when that quality isicquued Articles intended for inflation such as beds
cushions pads and other similar manufactures we fist make in the manner
commonly practised in similar caoutchouc manufactories employing either
that substance or gutta percha or a compound thereof and "immeise" them
afterwards. We prefer caoutchouc to gutta pei cha the latter being too gid
for most of these purposes When the exterior of the article is required to be
of cloth or other texture we protect the fabric when producing "the change'
from the action of the changing agent by forming the au-proof lining in
such a manner as to cover the whole interior surface of such fabric and
obtain the "change" by pouring in the changing solvent allowing it to
remain only for the necessary period When the exter101 of the article is to
be formed of caoutchouc gutta percha or a compound thereof we stop up the
orifice and immerse the article. And in all cases the color.ng embossing
printing or otherwise ornamenting we prefer to execute pieviously to effecting
the change" We also manufacture vessels intended to contain air water
01 other fluids composed entirely of caoutchouc or gutta percha or of a com-
pound thereof by the modes described in the Patents before referred to of
the within-mentioned Thomas Hancock and afterwards we immeise them to
produce the change We also manufacture caoutchouc gutta percha or a
compound thereof with or without gritty or coloring matters and fibrous
substances and form them into sheets of any required thickness by means
similar to those described in the Patents of the said Thomas Hancock before
referred to and employ them in the formation of any of the articles herem
described producing the "change" either when in the form of sheets or after
making them up into such articles as may be thought most convenient Fiom
these sheets whether combined with fabrics and fibrous and other substances
or not we manufacture straps for diving machinery deckle straps Leins,
traces and other parts of hainess house collars horseshoe linings and hoise
furniture such as knee knee-caps, fetlock boots parts of saddles and saddling,
soles of shoes and boots, portmanteaus, balls, belts, gaiters, trouser straps,
braces, shoulder straps for stays, waistcoat and waistband springs, shoe and
boot fastenings, shoes, boots, galoshes, uppers, quarters and vamps, an
chambers, bottles and other vessels for containing fluids, printers' furnisheis
Covering and lapping rollers, bowls, and other similar articles, 100fing
sheathing, washers for water steam and other joints, hose pipe and tubing

page_text: railway valves and packing blocks or springs to prevent the recoil of guns
pump valves and buckets covering stoppers and bungs, covers of pickle jais,
capsules for bottles, bandages, hnce-caps, ligatures and other surgical appa-
atus, a variety of embossed articles such as fancy articles of diess, bracelets,
ornamental edgings and borders imitations of ciape, finge and lace picture
frames, ornaments for the decoration of furniture, forms and impressions to
paint from type We also manufacture cusluons for billiard tables by uniting
any number of sheets together either entirely of cauotchouc or of a compound
of caoutchouc, gutta percha oi intermixtures of sheets of both in alternate
layers to modify the degree of elasticity and unmerse them to produce the
change These sheets we also apply to cover and protect plates of metal and
to the lining of metallic and other vessels and to chests and tanks of wood or
other material effecting their union either by heat or by means of the ordinary
solution of caoutchouc or of the compounds and produce the "change" after
the sheets are applied or if the "change" be first produced to the sheets we
apply the cement hereafter described From these sheets we also manufacture
spings
foi cariages and railway buffers in the forms and by similar means to
those described in the Patent of the said Thomas Hancock of One thousand
cight hundied and forty-six uniting the parts by means thei em directed or as
regaids gutta percha and the compound thereof by the means hereafter
mentioned and we then "immerse " them to produce the change. We also
manufacture caoutchouc, gutta percha and compounds thereof into thread
and produce new manufactures of such threads by combining the changing
process of Mi Paikes' Patent in this manufacture and we produce different
degrees of elasticity by varying the proportions of the compound. The time
of applying the changing process may be either before or after cutting the
substance used into thread. We prefer however to make sheets of the
desued thickness of the thread then to obtain "the change "and then to cut
the same into thread, which we do by coiling a sheet thereof around a cylinder
of wood or other fit material using a solution of shellac over the whole surface
of the sheet by which the coiled mass will be retained together. This
cylinder we put on centres and cause it to revolve against a knife constantly
supplied with water by which successive discs of thread are cut off. The
cement being after waids discharged by boiling in a solution of potash. When
the sheets are of considerable thickness for coaise thread we find it only neces-
sary to use the cement towards the outer coil or end of the sheet. India-rubber
oi gutta percha thead or threads of their compounds may be made into cords
1opes braidings plaitings webs whips and other similar articles and then
immersed by which we not only effect the change but firmly unite all the threads

page_text: into one mass and in doing so different colored theads may be combined.
The handles of whips or parts of the articles may have wood or other material
introduced during their manufacture to give those parts additional strength o
stiffness. If clastic thread is first woven up with other thread of animal fibie
I take the woven fabric in the elastic state and extend its length and retain it
stretched during the immersion and also after it is removed until the solvent
taken up is evaporated the thread when liberated will contract considerably
We manufacture caoutchouc gutta percha and the compounds thereof into
various forms and patterns by making such forms in or upon moulds plates
and engraved or otherwise wrought and figured surfaces sunk or miclief by
means similar to those described for caoutchouc in the aforesaid Specification
of Thomas Hancock and after wards immerse them either before or after
removing them from the moulds or forms When immersing moulded or other
articles which have fine impressions oi are of a delicate or light constiuction
we find it convenient to give them a dip in the changing solvent and out again
immediately to haiden the surface and when diy to immerse them for the
required period We manufacture gutta percha oi compounds thereof into
gun or pistol stocks, umbrella, knife, sword and other handles by means of
moulds on which we engrave any pattern or design or we make them of any
desued color, or color them after leaving the mould We sometimes form a
foundation of wood or metal or other material which we introduce into the
interior of such articles before it is moulded and when all is completed we
immense them If the article is made entuely of gutta percha without the
use of solvents we proceed to operate in the manner duected in the notice
Issued by Doctor Montgomery in November One thousand eighthundred and
forty-three when he introduced this substance into this country thro' the
Society of Arts by whom several manufacturers and other persons were
furnished with samples and an account of his mode of treating it Wecannot
give it better than in his own words
"The gutta percha when diptin water near boiling can then bereadily united
and becomes quite plastic so as to be formed before it cools to 130° or 140°
"in any required form which it retains at any temperature below 110°"
We "take as much of it as is necessary throw it into hot water when it
"soon softens and becomes as plastic as putty when it can be moulded as
"required"
It is desuable to warm the moulds to about a blood heat. When the simple
gutta percha is required to be made into sheets the process is of the most
simple kind as it is only necessary to bring it to this plastic state by heat
and ticat it by the means directed in similar operations with compounds in

page_text: "
the Specification of the said Thomas Hancock's Patents of One thousand eight
hundred and thirty-seven and One thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight
before referred to they may then be immersed or they may be first employ od
for making up any article and immersed to produce the change thus by com-
bining the mode of making sheets invented by the said 'Thomas Hancock with
the process of Mi Parkes An improved manufacture of sheets of gutta percha
will result Black lead.gritty or coloring matter sand fibrous substances may if
wished be worked in previously To prevent the gutta perchia or its compounds
adhering to the rollers we cover them with calico or other fabric and keep the
fabric moistened with a solution of soap or soda. The sheets are more evenly
1olled and buckle less when the gutta percha contains coloring matters such
as ochre or plaster of Pans We sometimes use gutta pei cha not previously
formed into sheets and when softened by heat to the consistence of putty as
recommended by Dr Montgomery and employ it in the formation of a great
variety of articles by moulding with the hand or otherwise and then
immeise them to produce" the change' When gutta percha alone or com-
pounds thereof containing but a small proportion of caoutchouc is formed
into blocks by the meaus before referred to shavings and sheets cau be
readily taken therefrom with a common jomer's plane and such planes may
be made of any required size and strength and set to produce vaned thick-
nesses of slicets We form gutta percha oi compounds into cylindrical
blocks and cut by the plane or other cutter straps helically therefiom These
narrow sheets when immersed and thereby changed" form straps for diving
machinery and other uses but we would state the fault of gutta percha diving
straps is then being liable to suffer by abrasion and heat this however is
much obviated by "the change" And in some cases these articles may with
advantage receive a coating of caoutchouc or compound thereof previously to
immersing them. Blocks of this material cut up more freely when they
contam a considerable portion of finely pulverized pigment or carthy matter
such as ochic or pipe clay These blocks may be dilled with a common
dull portions of them may be turned in a lathe Screws cut and holes tapped
for them by common sciew tools Gutta percha and compounds thereof may
be carved and morticed and various articles of fuimture made fiomitand then
immersed to produce the change." We find that some articles formed of
gutta percha are improved by being coated with caoutchouc colored or plain
and then immersed to produce the change and the same remark applies to the
coating of caoutchouc with gutta percha or compound For any articles of
gieat delicacy and when a light color is desuable we purify the gutta percha
in the manner described in Mi Parkes' Patent. We employ caoutchouc

page_text: gutta percha oi compound in binding books portfolios and similar articles in
the manner commonly practised with caoutchouc and immerse the necessary
parts or otherwise apply the changing solvent to them By this means we
obviate the great defect in caoutchouc bookbinding that of stiffening in cold
weather as we render the backs always alike flexible and elastic. Leather or
cloth coated and embossed colored printed or otherwise ornamented as before
descubed we employ for the surface of the covers of books and other similar
articles We manufacture a material from caoutchouc gutta percha or com-
pound suitable for many purposes by cutting out with punches or by other
means from sheets of different colors patterns or designs so formed and
arranged that the pieces cut from a sheet of one color say red shall exactly
fit and coincide with that cut from another say black in the manner of buhl-
work these pieces of different colois are placed one within another and
cemented to cloth or other material and submitted to pressure with a gentle
heat and then unmeised to produce the change Instead of placing these
pieces within each other they may be placed singly upon plain or colored sheets
or coated cloth so as to form patterns sunk or in relief and then immersed to
produce the change any of these when cemented to cloth are suitable for
table cloths or to be glued or attached to furniture and other uses. When
made thicker and from bolder designs and of cheaper colors or cloth or
other material some of them are suitable for covering floors, staircases &c
We cover or completely case and envelope so as if necessary to seal
hermetically articles or vessels made of wood metal leather paper, cast
plaister, cord string and other substances by dipping them in a thin solution
of caoutchouc, gutta percha or compound and when diy immerse them to
produce the change The coatings may be repeated before immersion until
any required thickness is obtained. Other articles variously compounded such
as of treacle and glue or the like matters after being made of the requued
form may be dipped into the solutions of caoutchouc or gutta percha or their
compounds above mentioned and thereby rendered impermeable and then
immersed to produce the change Various substances such as wood shavings
or dust cork leather pulp and similar matters mixed and cemented with glue
paste of gum and formed into any desired shape and when dry may be
dipped in a solution of caoutchouc, gutta percha or compound thereof and
immersed to produce the change Wo manufacture an article very much
esembling sponge by mixing with a solution of caoutchouc gutta percha or,
a compound thereof a solution of chloride of sulphur as described by
Mi Parkes after a short time the whole becomes coagulated or gelatinized
it is then exposed to be exposed to a temperature of about two hundred and

page_text: twelvo degrees in water or otherwise until the solvents are evaporated and if
greater stiffness is desired it may be immersed in the changing solution
We prefer caoutchouc to gutta percha for these purposes
Another mode of proceeding is to subdivide into larger or smaller pieces
either caoutchouc or a compound or both preferring the former and filling
ather loosely with these pieces a vessel of any open or net-like construction of
the required form and immerse it to produce the change (allowing the super-
fluous solvents to run off) by which means the pieces will be sufficiently united
to form a compressible and elastic mass suitable for cushions pads and other
purposes
We manufacture hose pipes and tubing of caoutchouc, gutta
percha and compound in various ways We take threads made of either of
the above of a size proportioned to the hose and braid it upon a core formed
of rope which has previously been coated with treacle and glue or glue and
whitening and made perfectly smooth The braiding may be repeated or a
coating of either of the solutions may if necessary be given and when dry
rolled under pressure with a gentle heat, we finish by immersing the whole
and thereby produce the change and unite all the coatings, the core is after-
wards removed by boiling in water Foi farcy tubing the threads may be of
various colouis
By another mode we take woollen or worsted yain of a size proportioned
to the strength of the required hose or tubing and saturate and coat it
with a solution of caoutchouc, gutta percha or a compound thereof until the
fibies are all covered and when dry we braid it upon a core as above, we
then roll it under pressure with heat or if necessary give it a previous coat
or two of either of the solutions and then immerse it to produce the change
We manufacture these articles also by winding these threads or narrow strips
spirally round the core keeping the edges quite close and if necessary wind
another tape or thread over the first in the contrary direction we then roll
them well under pressure and heat and immerse them to produce "the
change" removing the core as before mentioned Woven hose and hose
and tubing manufactured of leather of felt coated or lined with the above or
any other mode in which caoutchouc or gutta percha are employed We treat
by iminersion to produce the change either duting then manufacture or when
finished. We also coat the exterior or interior surface of ordinary caoutchouc
hose and tubing with either of the above solutions in their ordinary state or
colored and immerse them afterwards to produce the change Silk or wool
or other animal fibre is most suitable when used in combination with these
substances 'nuticle, intended forsubsequent immersion to produce the change
For some purposes we cover of coat the surfaces of caoutchouc, gutti percha

page_text: 01 compound with ground flock or other suitable powdery substance by giving
the article to be flocked a coating of caoutchouc vainish and then dusting or
spreading the flock or powder over it when dry we immerse the article to
produce the change. Such surfaces among many other uses are particularly
suitable to the linings of vamps and the interior of shoes goloshes &c. Sheets
or other articles formed wholly or in part of vulcanized or ordinary caoutchouc
we color by dipping or otherwise coating them with colored caoutchouc varnish
and then immerse them for a short period thus producing colored surfaces to
vulcanized india-rubber or caoutchouc As the union of these substance>
caoutchouc and gutta peicha can be so readily effected before "the change"
we prefer to do so when convenient but when joinings are necessary to be
made after "the change" we employ the cement by which we unite vulcanized
caoutchouc composed of vulcanized caoutchouc melted by heat and when
nearly cold add to and mix with it an equal quantity of the changing solvent.
These are to be well stirred together at a gentle heat We prefer to apply it
waim in thin coatings and when dry if necessary we give both surfaces a
second coat, the union should take place when the cement is nearly dry and
the parts kept under gentle pressure for some time in a warm place. It is
difficult to describe the exact condition required in the state of the cement as
the best moment of junction but it should be nearly diy a little practice will
however enable a workman to accomplish the object When articles made
of caoutchouc gutta percha or a compound thereof are required of consider-
able thickness Mr Parkes recommends a weaker solution of the chloride of
sulphur and the article to be immersed for a somewhat longer time and we
have also found that caoutchouc and the compounds may for many purposes be
made of any required thickness by uniting sheets or other forms together by
pressure as they come wet or only partially died out of the immersion
If the surface of any inflexible or other article coated or otherwise treated
with or made of caoutchouc gutta percha or a compound thereof ieques in
whole or in part to be more or less indurated this may be done by fiequently
immersing the article in the changing solvent (allowing it to become nearly
diy cach time) until it becomes if necessary as haid or harder than ivoiy
and may then be filed and wrought with tools and highly polished for such
purpose we have found that the proportion of chloride of sulphur in the
changing solvent may be encreased so as to expedite the haidening. For
producing "the change" we wish always to be understood to prefer employ-
ing the chloride of sulphur dissolved in bisulphuret of carbon or other fit
solvent of caoutchouc in the proportions mentioned by Mr Paikes but do not
confiue ourselves thereto immersing the articles for the periods mentioned by

page_text: him varving them in both respects according to the thickness of the articles
or the degree of change we wish to produce We have also found that equal
parts of bisulphurct of carbon and coal naptha to answer well but in this
case the naptha must be very pure.
