THE MANUFACTURE OF AN IMPROVED DISINFECTANT, DEODORIZER, AND PRECIPITANT to be as follows
Year: 1884

page_text: I, WILLIAM GOSTWYCK GARD, of 5 Icknield Street, Dunstable, in the county of
Bedford, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "THE
MANUFACTURE OF AN IMPROVED DISINFECTANT, DEODORIZER, AND PRECIPITANT
to be as follows:-
"
This invention relates to the manufacture of an improved disinfectant, deodorizer
and precipitant, which is cheap, inodorous and easily applicable for use.
In carrying out my invention I make use of a mixture of alum, sulphate of iron
and sulphate of copper in about the following proportions, videlicet :-
Two parts of ground alum,
One part of ground sulphate of iron.
Two to four per cent of ground sulphate of copper.
The said ingredients are thoroughly mixed together and the compound is then
ready for use either as a powder or preferably mixed with water.
Two ounces of the powder with one gallon of water form a powerful disinfectant
and deodorizer and is the form in which it acts most effectively and rapidly-The
above proportions of the ingredients are those which I have found to give good
results but it will be obvious that the said proportions may be varied.
When the compound is to be used as a deodorizer and precipitant only, the
proportion of sulphate of copper may be materially reduced or even entirely
omitted,

I WILLIAM GOSTWYCK GARD of 5 Icknield Street, Dunstable in the county of
Bedford, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "THE
MANUFACTURE OF AN IMPROVED DISINFECTANT, DEODORIZER, AND PRECIPITANT
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of an improved disinfectant, doodorizer,
and precipitant, which is cheap, inodorous and easily applicable for use.
In carrying out my invention I make use of a mixture of alum, sulphate of iron
and sulphate of copper in about the following proportions, videlicet.
Two parts of ground alum.
One part of ground sulphate of iron.
Four to twenty per cent of ground sulphate of copper.
The said ingredients are thoroughly mixed together and the compound is then
ready for use either as a powder or preferably mixed with water. It will be obvious
that the ingredients can be mixed without being first ground.
Two ounces of the powder with one gallon of water form a powerful disinfectant
antiseptic and deodorizer and is the form in which it acts most effectively and
rapidly. The above proportions of the ingredients are those which I have found to
give good results but it will be obvious that the said proportions may be varied.
When the compound is to be used as a deodorizer and precipitant only the
proportion of sulphate of copper may be materially reduced.
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
The manufacture and use of an improved disinfectant deodorizer and precipitant
formed by combining and mixing together alum, sulphate of iron, and sulphate of
copper in about the proportions substantially as hereinbefore described.
