An Improved Solder.
I, ALFRED HOMER, of No. 6, Taunton Road, Balsall Heath, in the County of
Worcester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
This invention relates as hereinafter described to an improved solder and has
for its object to provide means whereby solder may be combined with flux and
prepared in such a manner so as to render it applicable for use with a hot poker
or piece of iron instead of an ordinary soldering iron or blow pipe resin or sprints.
My invention is particularly useful for household purposes for repairing or
stopping leakages in the various utensils being applicable to tin, brass, copper,
lead, and zinc.
My invention consists essentially in the preparation of a solder composed
from the following formulae and prepared preferably in the following manner:-
six parts.
Tin
Lead
Bismuth
six parts.
one part.
These metals are melted together and cast, afterwards being rolled into
strips. I afterwards take each strip and coat one surface thereof with a coating
of chloride of zinc which I sift over with finely powdered resin.
The strips are folded with the prepared surface inside being rolled into cir-
cular form. These are afterwards passed through a second pair of rollers which
gives the desired shape to the strips. I do not confine myself to the exact pro-
portion of the parts aforesaid but may vary them as circumstances may require
to carry my invention into effect.
Dated this 9th day of May 1898.

and prepared in such a manner so as to render it applicable for use with a hot
poker or a piece of iron instead of an ordinary soldering iron or blow pipe,
resin, spirits.
My invention is particularly useful for household purposes for repairing or
stopping leakages in the various utensils, being applicable to tin, brass, copper,

six parts.
one part.
These metals are melted together and cast, and afterwards rolled into strips.
I afterwards take each strip and coat one surface thereof with a coating of
chloride of zinc which is applied in liquid form with a brush and then sifted
over with finely powdered resin. The strips are folded with the prepared, sur-
face inside, being rolled into circular form. These are afterwards passed through
a second pair of rollers which gives the desired shape to the strips. I do not
confine myself to the exact proportion of the parts aforesaid but may vary them
as circumstances may require to carry my invention into effect.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim 18:--
: (1) The improved solder composed of tin, lead, and bismuth, preferably in
proportions as herein stated and prepared with a flux substantially as described
and for the purpose set forth.
