An Improved Soap Compound which can also be used as a Combustible
Deodorizer, and Process for the Manufacture of the same.
I, RICHARD ADAM, of Göbenstrasse, 7, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Engineer, 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:-
1
This invention relates to an improved soap compound which can also be used
as a combustible deodorizer. In the process for its manufacture pure spirit of
wine of 85-96 % is heated until nearly the boiling point, then during con-
tinuous stirring melted soap or a suitable soap powder is added in a proportion
previously ascertained in accordance with the use the producer is to be put to.
When all the soap is dissolved the mixture is removed from the fire after having
however a short time before the removal from the fire added glycerine, balsams,
perfumes and the like.
The mixture so obtained is then provided the addition of soap does not
exceed 10-20 % of the spirit of wine poured into receivers which are then
closed air tight from which it can be taken after it has set as fit for use
being in
the state of a soft gelatinous mass. 20-35 % of soap added to the spirit of
wine gives a more consistent mass which is after it has set rubbed down into the
form of cream. This is best done in a vessel or by means of rollers or similar
mechanical devices.
A larger percentage addition than 35 % of soap is impracticable as it injures
the inflammability of the product, whilst on the other hand if less than 10% of
soap is added the effect of the product as a soap is lost. In order to make the
soap suitable as a preservative of the skin and to give it the desired pleasing odour
in both cases a short time before removing the mixture from the fire, 5 % of pure
glycerine 025 % of balsam of Peru, any known perfumes and further 025 % of
balsam of tolu are added.
The addition of the balsams have further the special purpose of disguising the
smell of the burning soap particles caused by the burning of the spirit of wine and
these balsams perfume the air when the soap is burnt as a deodorizer or perfuming
agent for the atmosphere.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
An improved soap compound which can also be burnt as a deodorizer or per-
fuming agent for the atmosphere, for the manufacture of which spirit of wine
of 85-96 % is heated almost till its boiling point and during continual stirring
of the same 10 to 35 % of melted soap or soap powder and 5% of pure glycerine
are added and further in order to avoid the smell of the burning soap particles
when the soap is used for deodorizing purposes, 0'25 % of balsam of Peru
and 0.25 % balsam of Tolu and perfumes if desired for toilet purposes are added

mass being gelatinous when containing 10 20 % of soap and more consistent when
containing 20 35 % of soap in which latter case it must be rubbed down into
cream and is ready for use.
