Improvements in Tailors' Crayons, or Crayons used by Dyers, School
Teachers and others.
We, FRED EASTWOOD, WILLIAM EASTWOOD, JOHN EASTWOOD, DANIEL EAST-
WOOD, and SAMUEL EASTWOOD, all of the Firm of Messrs. Eastwood Brothers,
Croft Mills, Hebden Bridge, in the County of York, Clothing Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
The object of our invention is to manufacture or treat tailors crayons, or crayons
used by dyers, school teachers, and others, so as to make them unbreakable by
ordinary usage, also so that they retain their marking edges or points intact.
In the manufacture of crayons we use in combination with the ordinary in-
gredients or substances forming the crayon, a certain quantity of oil or other liquid
of a similar nature, by this means when the crayons are moulded or formed and
allowed to dry and set, they are practically unbreakable, and always retain a fine
marking edge or point.
Or in place of adding the oil or other suitable liquid during the process of
manufacture, we may treat the same to a solution of such oil or liquid by soak-
ing the crayons in such liquid until the liquid has thoroughly penetrated the
crayon, after which they are taken out and dried they are then ready for use.
Dated this Seventeenth day of January 1898.

Improvements in Tailors' Crayons, or Crayons used by Dyers, School
Teachers and others.
We, FRED EASTWOOD, WILLIAM EASTWOOD, JOHN EASTWOOD, DANIEL EAST-
WOOD, and SAMUEL EASTWOOD, all of the Firm of Messrs. Eastwood Brothers,
Croft Mills, Hebden Bridge, in the County of York, Clothing Manufacturers, 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 object of our invention is to manufacture or treat tailors crayons, or crayons
used by dyers, school teachers, and others, so as to make them unbreakable by
ordinary usage, also so that they retain their marking edges or points.

page_text: In the manufacture of crayons, we use in combination with the ordinary in-
gredients or substances forming the crayon, a certain quantity of pure hydro-
carbon mineral oil, preferably sufficient to form the whole into a plastic mass,
by this means when the crayons are moulded or formed and allowed to dry and
set, they are practically unbreakable, and always retain a fine marking edge or
point.
Or in place of adding the oil during the process of manufacture, we may treat
the same to a solution of such oil within a suitable vessel, by soaking the crayons
in same, until the oil has thoroughly penetrated the crayon.
Or for more quickly, permeating the crayons with oil, we may place the crayons
in a vessel containing oil, and apply steam, so as to heat or boil the oil, after
becoming thoroughly soaked with oil the crayons are taken out and dried when
they are ready for use.
a
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is―
1. In the manufacture of tailors crayons, or crayons used by dyers, school
teachers and the like, mixing pure hydro-carbon mineral oil with the ordinary
ingredients for the purposes substantially as set forth.
2. In the manufacture of tailors crayons, or crayons used by dyers, school
teachers and the like, soaking the said crayons in pure hydro-carbon mineral
oil, and afterwards drying the same for the purposes substantially as set forth.
