I, WILLIAM CLARK, of the firm of A. M. and Wm. Clark, of 53, Chancery Lane,
in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for THE MANUFACTURE OF A COMPOSITION
SUITABLE FOR MAKING WALL. COVERINGS BOILER COVERINGS AND OTHER FABRICS,
MOULDED ARTICLES AND OTHER USES, a communication to me from abroad by
Eugène Edouard Fagnet of Bois-Colombes, (Seine) France, Gentleman, to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of a new product or composition for
making wall coverings, fabrics, moulded articles and other uses, the essential
feature of the invention consisting in the method of solidifying the oils forming
part of the composition, without the aid of heat. This solidification is effected by
a chemical process which consists essentially in mixing with linseed oil, colza,
poppy or other oil other than linseed oil, and in adding to this mixture, carbonate
of lime and afterwards chloride of sulphur, for which latter may be substituted
sulphur, or other sulphurous compound the carbonate of 'lime being first added to
the mixture of oils and then the chloride of sulphur, until a firm paste is obtained.
The paste is then mixed with cork, cocoa nut fibre, eggshells, gutta percha or other
material possessing similar properties, in a pulverized condition. The compound is
then passed between rollers and applied upon canvas or other support or founda-
tion, whereby surfaces suitable for wall hangings or coverings are obtained, which
may then receive any kind of designs or impressions. The compound may be of
any suitable thickness, according to the kind of article to be produced.
The compound may also be used for the manufacture of moulded articles of all
kinds, as well as for boiler coverings and other uses.

page_text: The following are the proportions of the materials forming the composition
above indicated as used in the manufacture of wall coverings. The linseed oil and
that mixed therewith, would be in equal proportions, carbonate of lime 15 to
40 per cent and chloride of sulphur 10 to 30 per cent, according to the degree of
concentration desired, but it will be evident that the above proportions may be
varied according to the kind of article to be produced.

I, WILLIAM CLARK, of the firm of A. M. and Wm. Clark, of 53, Chancery Lane,
in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention (a communication to me from abroad by
Eugène Edouard Fagnet of Bois Colombes (Seine) France, Gentleman) and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to the manufacture of a new product or composition for
making fabrics suitable for wall hangings, floor-cloths, moulded articles, and other
uses; the essential feature of the Invention consisting in the method of solidifying
the oils forming part of the composition without the aid of heat. This solidifi-
cation is effected by a chemical process which consists essentially in the mixing
with linseed oil of Colza, Poppy, or other oil other than Linseed Oil and in the
addition to this mixture of carbonate of lime followed by chloride of sulphur (for
which latter sulphur or another sulphurous compound may be substituted) the
carbonate of lime being added first to the mixture of oils and then the chloride of
sulphur until a firm paste is obtained. The paste is then mixed with cork, cocoa-
nut fibre, wood, saw-dust, egg-shells, gutta-percha, or other material possessing
similar properties, in a pulverized condition. The compound is then ground
between rollers and spread upon canvas or other backing whereby fabrics suitable
for wall hangings or floor coverings are obtained which may afterwards receive
any kind of designs or impressions. The coating of compound may be of any
suitable thickness according to the kind of article to be produced. The compound

page_text: may also be used for the manufacture of articles of all kinds by moulding, by
coating, by partial application, and otherwise.
The following is an example of the proportions of the materials forming the
composition above indicated as used in the manufacture of wall hangings. The
linseed oil and the oil mixed therewith would be in equal proportions Carbonate of
Lime 15 to 40 per cent, and Chloride of Sulphur 10 to 30 per cent, according to
the degree of concentration desired, but it will be evident that the above pro-
portions may be varied according to the kind of article to be produced. I do not
therefore in any way limit myself thereto.
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;-
The manufacture of the new product or composition herein described, and
especially the method of solidifying the oil entering into its composition without
boiling it, as specified for the purposes described.
