Complete Specification Accepted, 2nd Mar.. 1889
I, THOMAS FISHER trading as the Belfast Paint and Color Manufacturing
Company at Mountpottenger in the County of Down in Ireland do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is to deodorize paints or varnishes and to impart an
agreeable perfume to the same.
For the purpose of deodorizing the paints or varnishes I heat them, before intro-
ducing the colours or pigments, so as to evaporate the greater portion of the spirit in
which they are mixed and, after introducing the colours or pigments, while the
mixture stills retains some of its heat, I pour a perfume into it and enclose it in air-
tight cannisters such as are commonly used for the purpose, afterwards diffusing the
perfume through the mixture by shaking the cannisters.

page_text: 1 THOMAS FISHER trading as the Belfast Paint and Color Manufacturing Company
at Mount Pottinger in the County of Down in Ireland 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, that is to say :-
The object of my invention is to deodorise paints or varnishes, and to impart an
agreeable perfume to the same.
For the purpose of deodorising the paints or varnishes I subject them to the
following process namely:-I heat the spirit, shellac and varnish or other solvent
employed in the preparation of paints and varnishes to the degree of boiling and
I maintain the same degree of heat until a reduction in the volume thereof by from
Twenty five to Thirty five per centum has been effected by evaporation and all the
volatile oil has been driven out of the crude spirit and a perfect mixture of the
solvent completed-I then allow the heated solvent to cool down and when its
temperature has fallen to about 90° Fahreinheit I add the colors or other pigments or
resinous substances to the solvent maintaining it at the same constant temperature for
about four hours in order that the evaporation may be continued and that the colors
or other pigments or resinous substances may be thoroughly dissolved-The mixture
is then quickly cooled down by exposure to a draught or current of the atmosphere to
32° (Fabreinheit) or as near thereto as possible and transferred to air tight Cannisters
or other cases such as are commonly used for the purpose of containing such paints
and varnishes for sale and 1 pour into them a perfume and immediately fasten down
or seal the lid or cover of the Cannister or Case afterwards diffusing the perfume
through the mixture by shaking or turning the Cannister or Case.
The quantity of perfume used varies according to the size of the Cannister or other
Case employed but about six drops are required for the small sized Cannisters or
Cases.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The deodorization of paints and varnishes substantially in the manner and for the
purposes above described.
2. The heating of Solvents in the preparation of paints and varnishes substantially
in the manner and for the purposes above described.

page_text: 3. The dissolving and mixing of colors or other pigments and resinous substances
substantially in the manner and for the purposes above described.
4. The use in the preparation of paints and varnishes of perfume introduced and
diffused substantially in the manner and for the purposes above described and
5. The combination of substances and volatile matters prepared and employed
substantially in the manner and for the purposes above mentioned and described.
Dated this 18th day of January One thousand eight hundred and eighty nine.
