PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Composition of Soap.
THOMAS ANYON 57 Princess Street Manchester Accountant do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in the art of combining a powerful antiseptic
and detergent chemical agent with soap, for the purpose of increasing the purifying
properties thereof and for better adapting it for use in the toilet, the sick room and
for cosmetic uses generally.
For this purpo-e I use as the basis of my invention, the chips of white or coloured
snaps scented or unscented as the case may be in such a manner that after the chips
have left the soap plane they are spread out on hurdles in thin layers and then
subjected to a drying process in an oven, or in a suitable chamber, the temperature of
which may range from 70 to 100 degrees F.
After the chips have been thoroughly freed from moisture, I grind or pulverise them
in a suitable mill until they become perfectly powdered; and at this stage of the
process I then by slow degrees mix or combine with the powdered so up a suitable
quantity of powdered permanganate of potash in the proportion of 6 10 7 ounces of
the permanganate of potash to 100 lbs. of the dry soap powder. But I wish it to be
understood that I may not in all cases strictly adhere to these proportions.
During the process of grinding or pulverising, I may also use any desirable colouring
matter which is neutral to the chemical compound thus formed. By this system of
admixture, the latent antiseptic and disinfecting properties of the permanganate of
potash are in no way neutralized or destroyed, by contact with the dry fat acid salts
of the soap, but are strictly retained, and the compound thus formed at once becomes
a powerful cosmetic and is especially medicinal in skin diseases.
For the purpose of commercially carrying out my invention, I now place the soap
compound in suitable pepper bottles or sprinklers or other adaptable receptacles which
are capable of shielding the compound from moisture or liquid contact, such receptacles
being designed to part with or give off at the will of the consumer any desirable
quantity of the powder.
As a soap charged or impregnated with the proportions of permanganate of potash
herein set forth or even with smaller quantities, becomes a powerful agent in its action
upon animal tissue, my invention does not confine me to any particular method of
combining the permanganate of potash with the powdered soap, inasmuch as I may
use any other method of admixture other than the one herein specified and which may
be found better or more convenient for the purpose of thorough amalgamation when
large quantities of the material are being dealt with.

Improvements in the Composition of Soap.
THOMAS ANYON 57 Princess Street Manchester Accountant 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in the art of combining a powerful antiseptic;
disinfecting and detergent chemical agent with soap, for the purpose of increasing the
purifying properties thereof, and for better adapting it for use in the toilet, the sick
room, and for cleansing and cosmetic uses generally.
For this purpose I use as the basis of my invention, the chips of finished white or
Dine S

page_text: coloured neutral soaps, scented or unscented as the case may be, in such a manner
that alter the chips have left the soap plane, they are spread out ou hurdles in thin
layers and then subjected to a drying process in an oven, or in a suitable chamber the
temperature of which may range from 70 to 100 degrees F.
After the chips have been thoroughly freed from moisture I grind or pulverise them
in a suitable mill until they become perfectly powdered and at this stage of the process
I then by slow degrees mix or combine with the powdered soap a suitable quantity of
powdered permanganate of potash in the proportion of 3 to 10 ounces of the per-
manganate of potash to 100 lbs. of the dry soap powder, and from 10 to 33 ounces of
powdered permanganate of potash to 100 lbs. of the dry soap powder for scouring or
cleansing soaps.
During the process of grinding or pulverising I use any desirable colouring matter
to mix with the soap which is neutral to the chemical compound thus formed.
By this system of admixture the latent antiseptic and disinfecting properties of the
permanganate of potash are in no way neutralized or destroyed by contact with the
dry fat-acid salts of the soap but are strictly retained, and the compound thus formed
at once becomes a powerful cosmetic, especially medicinal in skin diseases, or with a
greater percentage of permanganate of potash a powerful disinfecting scouring soap.
As a substitute for the permanganate of potash I also employ as an equivalent
chemical agent powdered permanganate of soda where the properties of a greater
soluability of the chemical used are desirable, the said permanganate of soda being
combined with the neutral soap powder in or about the same proportions as the
permanganate of potash.
For the purpose of commercially carrying out my invention, I now place the soap
compound in suitable pepper bottles or sprinklers or other adaptable receptacles which
are capable of shielding the compound from moisture or liquid contact, such receptacles
being designed to part with or give off at the will of the consumer any desirable
quantity of the powder.
In another method which I employ for the purpose of commercially carrying out
my invention, I treat the powdered soap in such a way that after the powdered
permanganate of potash or the permanganate of soda as the case may be have been
duly mixed with the powdered soap, the soap compound thus formed is placed in a
suitable mould or matrix and by any convenient press, appliance or machine subjected
to a pressure sufficient to solidity and mould it in the form of bar or tablet soap as
may be found desirable.
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.) A nentral soap powder in combination with a powerful disinfectant such as
permanganate of potash or permanganate of soda substantially as described and for
the purpose herein set forth.
(2.) The combination of a neutral powdered soap with permanganate of potash or
its equivalent permanganate of soda which compound is afterwards subjected to
pressure for the purpose of solidifying it for commercial uses substantially as described
and for the purpose herein set forth.
