This Invention relates to the production in the first place, of a fluid containing
substances capable of exerting antiseptic, disinfecting, deodorizing and oxidizing
effects. This fluid may be used in this state or may be diluted or mixed with
one or more other liquids or it may be emulsified by any such processes as are
hereinafter described. It may also be mixed or incorporated with various earthy
or other bases, mixtures, or solid substance or substances to produce powders or solid
compositions having similar properties. It may also be saponified with alkalies
(thereby producing soapy mixtures or products) or it may be incorporated with
soaps or with soaps and alkalies or otherwise used in the production of soaps
destined to exhibit antiseptic, disinfecting and deodorizing effects.
To produce the fluid or mixture above referred to, we take oil of turpentine or
oil of eucalyptus, or "pine oil" of commerce, or resin spirit, or resin oil, or any
essential oil or "sanitas" oil obtained from turpentine as described in our Letters
Patent N° 274 of 1876, and then dissolve or incorporate therein by preference with

page_text: the aid of heat any one or more of the following substances; common resin
(colophony), crude or brute turpentine, gum-thus Barras galipot or any other
Eoluble gum, resin or resins; We also prefer to dissolve in the mixture camphor
or thymol.
We thin or dilute our fluid with more oil of turpentine or other liquids already
named.
We can also emulsify our fluid by admixture with water or with a watery
solution of gum-acacia or by means of a watery solution of caustic soda, potash, or
ammonia, or the carbonates of these bases. We also prefer to expose our fluid
mixture to a current of air either in the presence or the absence of water at an
elevated temperature with the object of oxidizing the hydrocarbon portions of the
mixture as described in our Letters Patent N° 274 of 1876.
To produce powders or solid compositions we incorporate or mix our pure or
diluted or emulsified or oxidised fluid mixture with slaked lime, or powdered
chalk, or silica, or sand, or sawdust, or tan ashes or with other suitable basis.
A gallon of the liquid mixed with one hundred weight of slaked lime forming a
good deodorizer.
To produce soaps we saponify so far as is possible our pure or diluted or
emulsified or oxidised fluid, with caustic alkali or alkalines and then incorporate the
product with soaps made in the ordinary way from fats or fatty acids and alkali
the mixture being made say in the proportion of 4 lbs to the hundred weight of
soap or we simply add a like proportion of our fluid to the mixture of fats and
alkalies to be used in soap making or to the nearly finished or finished soaps.
themselves.
And in order that our proceedings may be more clearly understood we shall
_ proceed to illustrate them by an example. For instance, we take say twenty
gallons of oil of turpentine, or oxidised-oil-of-turpentine ("sanitas" oil) or pine oil,
or resin spirit, or resin oil, or twenty gallons of a mixture of these substances-and-
we dissolve therein (with the aid of heat or heat and pressure if necessary) one
hundred weight of common resin (colophony) or crude or strained turpentine or
gum-thus (Barras or Galipot) and when desired, also, twenty pounds by weight
(more or less) of either camphor or thymol. We then, if desired, dilute or thin out
the product with sixty gallons (more or less) of turpentine, or pine oil, or resin
spirit, or resin oil, or "sanitas" oil. We thus obtain about ninety gallons (more or
less) of our thinned product and at this stage of our proceedings or previous to the
thinning or diluting operation already described, we may expose the mixture to a
current of air either in the presence or absence of water, at a somewhat elevated
temperature, say 60°-80° C, with the view of oxidising the hydrocarbon portions
of the mixture.
The final product possesses powerful properties as an antiseptic disinfectant,
deodorant and oxidant so that as already set forth it may be employed in this state
or when emulsified, and when it is incorporated with powders or soaps as described
the resulting compositions exhibit corresponding properties.

by the said Charles Thomas Kingzett and Maximilian Zingler in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 23rd May 1883.
CHARLES THOMAS KINGZETT Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry of Great
Britain and Ireland and Fellow of the Chemical Society Analytical and Con-
Bulting Chemist of 17 Lansdowne Road Tottenham Middlesex and MAXIMILIAN
ZINGLER Fellow of the Chemical Society of 19 Buckland Crescent Belsize

AND
This Invention relates to the production of a fluid mixture or composition to be
employed as an antiseptic and disinfectant.
The essential components of our fluid mixture are :-
First. A liquid volatile hydrocarbon spirit containing a terpene and obtained
from pine tree products by distillation.
Ordinary oil of turpentine or so called spirits of turpentine, rosin spirit and pine
oil are liquids of this class and are suitable.
Second. Resin, a non-volatile pine tree product; either common resin known as
colophony may be employed or crude turpentine which is resin that has not been
distilled and therefore contains some spirit.
Third. Resin oil which is a product of the destructive distillation of resin.
We proceed as follows:-
We dissolve one hundred weight (112 lbs) of common resin (known as colophony)
or of crude turpentine (known also as Gum-thus, Barras, Galipot) in twenty
gallons of turpentine or rosin spirit or pine oil of commerce; we also prefer to
dissolve therewith, about 20 lbs camphor, we then mix 60 gallons of rosin oil with
the said solution. The product may be used as thus prepared but we also prefer
to oxidise the hydro carbon portions of the mixture by exposing the latter at
about 60° C to a current of air during a period of say 24 hours or more. The
operation of air-oxidizing may take place either in the presence or absence of water.
Or instead of proceeding as described we sometimes oxidise the turpentine, or resin
spirit, or pine oil (according as to which of these bodies we wish to employ) in the
first place and then proceed to make use of the oxidised product as above described
viz to dissolve therein a quantity of common resin or crude turpentine together
preferably with a proportion of camphor, mixing with the product a quantity of
rosin oil.
We may vary the proportions of the several constituents, but the quantities
above mentioned we have found to give useful results.
The fluid mixture or solution herein before described possesses powerful properties
is an antiseptic, disinfectant, deodorant and oxidant and it may be employed in
the fluid state also for pickling railway sleepers and timbers generally. It may
also be mixed with any suitable earthy or other basis such as with silica or sand or
ime or chalk or sawdust or other suitable material to prepare solid mixtures or
powders having similar properties, such powders or solid mixtures being used in
he way that is well understood for-deodorizing and disinfecting offensive and
nfectious materials. For instance one gallon of our fluid incorporated with 1 cwt.
f slaked lime furnishes such a solid powder having excellent deodorizing and
lisinfecting properties. Or the fluid may be emulsified with water or with a
vatery solution of gum acacia or with a solution of caustic alkali or the carbonate
f an alkaline base and the emulsions thus prepared may be used for the
reservation of organic matters from putrefactive decay and decomposition or for

page_text: deodorizing purposes and for fumigating and also as a sheep-wash or sheep-dip.
Or the fluid may be used in the manufacture of soap or incorporated in soaps by
means which are well understood, in order to produce antiseptic and disinfecting
soaps. For instance if 4 lbs of the fluid be added to each cwt of finished ordinary
soap, the resulting product is found to possess the desired properties.
What we claim is :-
First. The triple fluid mixture or composition consisting of a liquid volatile
hydrocarbon spirit containing a terpene, of the non volatile resin, and of rosin oil
(the product of the destructive distillation of resin) substantially as described.
Second. The combination of the said triple mixture or composition with
camphor substantially as described.
Third. The said triple mixture or composition either with or without camphor
oxidised by treatment with air substantially as described.
In witness whereof we the said Charles Thomas Kingzett and Maximilian
Zingler have hereunto set our hands and seals this nineteenth day of May
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
