PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Compound or Paste for Cleaning or Polishing
Metal or other Articles.
I, GEORGE LANDALE, of Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Fruiterer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention is designed to provide a polishing paste suitable for cleaning
articles of metal being principally intended for articles of domestic use.
It consists essentially of a material composed of several abrasive substances
mixed with a softer substance which will prevent scratching, the component parts
being a saponaceous compound with finely powdered corrundum emery silica or
similar material, pink earth or native red oxide of iron and whitening with the
addition of one or more suitable substances and a sufficient quantity of water or
other material to bind the several ingredients together.
r
In carrying out the invention I take an abrasive soap such as that known as
Monkey Soap" or Monkey Brand" or I take the separate constituents of such
a soap or I take a common soap or saponaceous compound and mix therewith a
finely powdered abrasive substance capable of cutting or polishing metal.
With
this I mix about an equal quantity of pink earth or native red oxide of iron also
finely powdered and then a much larger quantity of whitening. In addition to
these I may add chalk or other suitable soft earth or powdered material capable of
polishing hard surfaces.
These materials are all thoroughly mixed together with water or oil or other
liquid to the consistency of a paste or they may be dried into cakes or blocks.

I, GEORGE LANDALE, of Brook Road, Fallowfield, near Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, late of Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester, aforesaid, Fruiterer,
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 is designed to provide a polishing paste suitable for cleaning
articles of metal being principally intended for articles of domestic use.
It consists essentially of a material composed of several abrasive substances
mixed with a softer substance which will prevent scratching the component parts
being a saponaceous compound with finely powdered corrundum emery silica or

page_text: addition of one or more suitable substances and a sufficient quantity of oil, water or
other material to bind the several ingredients together.
In carrying out the invention I prepare a soap or saponaceous compound and
mix therewith a quantity of finely powdered abrasive material capable of cutting
or polishing metal such as emery, corrundum, silica or similar material, and also a
small quantity of pink earth or native red oxide of iron. To this I add a much
larger quantity of whitening to form a base of soft material which while also acting
as a polishing agent will prevent the harder materials from scratching and acting
too severely on the articles to be polished.
If desired there may also be added chalk or other suitable soft earth or
powdered material capable of polishing metal surfaces.
The several materials may be in any desired proportions the whitening being in
much the larger quantity the saponaceous compounds and the other materials are
thoroughly mixed together with linseed oil either boiled or raw and paraffin oil,
sufficient oil being employed to reduce the mass to the desired consistency either to
remain in the condition of paste or to be moulded into cakes or blocks.
A suitable composition may be comprised as follows:-
Soap or saponaceous compound
Hard abrasive material
-
5 to 21%
1 to 20°/

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
A compound or paste for cleaning or polishing metal or other articles consisting
of a soap or saponaceous compound, finely powdered hard abrasive material, pink
earth or red oxide of iron and whitening in suitable proportions mixed together
with linseed and paraffin oil (or with water) to the desired consistency substantially
as described.
