A New or Improved Liquid Soap.
Year: 1899

page_text: Date of Application, 5th Apr., 1899
Complete Specification Left, 5th Jan., 1900-Accepted, 31st Mar., 1900 -
I, JOHN MENDESS, of 12, Anton Street, Hackney, in the County of London,
Dye Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:--
The invention has for its object the production of a liquid soap which has great
cleansing power, has disinfecting and antiseptic properties, and may also be
combined with dye stuffs.
For this purpose I make a potash or soft soap, and when finished or nearly so,
I combine therewith a mixture of naphtha with a rectified hydro-carbon, such as
turpenoil or other distillation from turpentine, and a small proportion of
ammonia.
These ingredients, when combined with the potash or soft soap, will form a
stable fluid soap which possesses great cleansing power.
By the addition of carbolic acid or creosote or a hydro-carbon oil possessing
disinfecting or antiseptic properties, such properties are imparted to the soap.
The addition of acetone or of a ketone assists in the cleansing power of the
soap and prevents acidity thereof.
By the addition to the above compound of-alizarine or any aniline dye free from
acid or from any mordant which is affected by an alkali, and in some cases a little
acetate of potash or of soda to increase the mordant power of the liquid, I obtain
a liquid dye soap which will.clean and dye various fabrics without injury thereto.

A New or Improved Liquid Soap.
I, JOHN MENDESS, late of -12, Anton Street, Hackney, but now of 16, Balfour
Road, Highbury New Park, in the County of London, Dye Manufacturer, 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:-
The invention has for its object the production of a liquid soap which has great
cleansing power, has disinfecting and antiseptic properties and may also be
combined with dye stuffs.
For this purpose I make a potash or soft soap and when finished or nearly so
I combine therewith a mixture of wood naphtha with a rectified hydro-carbon

page_text: such as turpenoil or other distillation from turpentine and a small proportion
of ammonia.
By other distillation of turpentine I mean turpentine treated with a vegetable
or mineral acid and then rectified or distilled.
One method of treating the turpentine is to pass a current of carbonic acid
gas through turpentine but other methods of treating the turpentine may be em-
ployed.
These ingredients when combined with the potash or soft soap will form a
stable fluid soap which possesses great cleansing power.
By the addition of carbolic acid or creosote, or a hydro-carbon oil possessing.
disinfecting or antiseptic properties such properties are imparted to the soap.
Other suitable disinfectants may be employed.
The addition of acetone or of a ketone assists in the cleansing power of the
soap and prevents acidity thereof.
By the addition to the above compound of alizarine or any aniline or other
suitable dye free from acid or from any mordant which is affected by an alkali
and in some cases a little acetate or phosphate of potash or of soda to increase the
mordant power of the liquid, I obtain a liquid dye soap which will clean and dye
various fabrics without injury thereto.
In some cases when making a liquid dye soap I omit the rectified hydro-
carbon and the ammonia referred to in the first part of my specification.
The following examples show clearly one method of carrying my invention
into effect but I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the pro-
portions stated as they may be varied according to the goods with which the liquid
soap is to be used and other circumstances.
