I, FELIX SCHULTE, Manufacturer at Duisburg in the Kingdom of Prussia, Empire
of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
NON-CONDUCTING COVERINGS FOR HEAT to be as follows:-
These improvements relate to "non-conducting-coverings" and have for their
object to increase the protection from escape of beat. The improved coverings
consist of dried plates of peat-moss, which are to be secured to the surfaces to
be protected by means of a heat-proof aglutinant and by wrapping with binding
wire or hoop-iron; the joints may be filled with a mixture of peat-dust and binding
material.
The peat is dug out in large rectangular pieces and dried in the air or artificially.
The pieces are cut by means of a ribbon-saw to plates of about 25 to 30 m/m
thickness, the curvature of which corresponds to that of the walls or tubes to be
coated. For fastening these plates, the inner surface of the same is spread over
with a dough prepared from fossil meal. Subsequently, the plates may be placed
side by side (and so as to break joints) on the casing of the vessels, tubes etc, and
held fast besides by helically surrounding binding-wires or hoops.
The joints between the single plates are filled with peat-dust mixed with a
binding substance,
This protecting covering may be covered with wood, tin or cloth or provided with
a suitable coat of paint.

page_text: I, FELIX SCHULTE, at Duisburg in the Kingdom of Prussia, Empire of Germany,
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:
This improvement relates to non-conducting coverings and has for its object to
diminish the escape of heat. These coverings consist of dried peat-moss, which are
to be secured to the surfaces to be protected by means of a heat-proof aglutinant,
and by wrapping with binding wire or hoop-iron; the joints may be filled with a
mixture of peat dust and binding material.
The peat is dug out in large rectangular pieces and dried in the air or artificially.
The pieces are cut by means of a ribbon-saw into plates of about 25 to 30 /
thickness, the curvature of which corresponds to that of the walls or tubes to be
coated. For fastening these plates, the inner surface of the same is spread over
with a dough prepared from fossil meal. Subsequently the plates a, see Figure III
of the drawings may be placed side by side (and so as to break joints) see Figs. I
and II on the casing of the vessels, tubes etc and held fast besides by helically
surrounding binding-wires or hoops i.
The joints between the single plates are filled with peat-dust mixed with a
binding substance. This protecting covering may covered with wood tin or cloth
or provided with a suitable coat of paint.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim, is
A non-conducting covering of peat-moss, formed by cutting plates from dried
pieces of peat moss, and securing the same to the surfaces to be protected by means
of heat-proof binding material, and coils or ties of wire or hoop-iron, the joints
being filled up, if desired, with a mixture of peat-dust and a binding substance.
