JAY DELL GE BOTT, OF ONALASKA, TEXAS.
BRAZING COMPOUND.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 3,1912.
Application filed November 6, 1911. Serial No. 658,774.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAY DELL GE Borr,
a citizen of the United States, residing at
Onalaska, in the county of Polk and State
5 of Texas, have invented certain new and
useful Improvements in Brazing Com-
pounds; and -I do declare the following to
be a full, clear, and exact description of the
invention, such as will enable others skilled
10 in the art to which it appertains to make
and use the same.
This invention relates to a new and useful
composition of matter to be used for braz-
ing band saws, silver and tinware and any
15 other metals capable of being brazed to-
gether.
My improved composition consists of the
following ingredients combined in the pro-
portions stated, viz :-pure muriatic acid,
20 8 oz.; zinc in such quantities as will be dis-
solved by the acid, which is about four (4)
ounces; pure rain water, one pint; sal am-
moniac, 3 oz.; powdered rosin, 3 oz.; cochi-
neal, 1 oz. These ingredients are thor-
25 oughly mixed by agitation and are then
strained through absorbent- cotton until all
sediment is removed, making a liquid which
is absolutely free from grit, dirt and all
foreign matter.
30 In the above composition the muriatic
acid is employed for removing the dirt from
the metal. As the acid in its pure state is
too strong for the purpose intended, it is
reduced by the addition of as much zinc as
35 will be dissolved without leaving a sedi-meant. The rain water is added until the
proper strength of acid is obtained. The
sal ammoniac being a chemical known to
have adhesive qualities is then added to-
gether with the. powdered rosin which also 40
has adhesive qualities. These ingredients
in the proportions named form a combina-
tion of chemicals which will work together
in harmony to form a flux when heat is
applied to the metal to be brazed either by 45
the application of a hot iron or by a blow
torch. The cochineal is simply employed
for coloring the compound.
My improved compound when used as di-
rected will not carbonize the metal but will 50
leave the same virtually in its normal state.
The compound will prevent the irons from
sticking to the metal after cooling and will
cause the solder to flow freely between the
laps of the metal thus making a braze that
will be lasting and strong.
I claim:
The herein described composition of mat-
ter for use in connection with brazing metals 60
consisting of pure muriatic acid, 8 oz.; zinc
4 oz.; pure rain water 1 pint.; sal ammoniac
3 oz.; powdered rosin, 3 oz.; and cochineal 1
oz.; substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand in presence of two subscribing
witnesses.
Wtess JAY DELL GE BOTT.
