POLISHING COMPOSITION OR MIXTURE.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. INoUYn, a subject of the Imperial Government of Japan, residing at Ridgefield Park, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Polishing Composition or Mixture, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a composition of matter adapted to be used as a polishing and cleaning medium on painted and enameled surfaces.

One of the objects of the present invention is to produce a composition of the above mentioned character which may be used for restoring the original high lustre of such surfaces which have become dimmed through exposure or through deterioration of the coating.

With most compositions for the above described purposes the lustre produced is merely temporary, and is the effect of. a greasy deposit which is left on the surface and which serves to accumulate dust and dirt which rapidly dissipate the effect of the composition. However, with the present invention the composition is such that the lustre produced is of a permanent nature and no greasy deposit is left on the surface, such as is the case with most substances used for this purpose. Furthermore the composition is of such a nature that it does not harm leather substances and substitutes, nor is it injurious to the skin.

With the above objects in view, the composition comprises the following ingredients which, for the purpose of illustratlng the 1nvention, may be mixed or emulsified 1n the following proportions:

Pounds. Acetic acid 5.5% 49.2 Linseed oil. boiled Turpentine Nonsugar solid 11 5 Reducing sugar solid 0.4

Benzyl ester 1. O

In preparing the composition, for use, the above mentioned substances are mixed, then agitated by means of a mechanical stirrer, and then emulsified. The uniform emulsion thus formed is then ready for use.

In polishing painted or enameled surfaces Organic solid Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 9, 1922.

Application filed May 6, 1921. Serial No. 467,327.

such as motor vehicle bodies, pianos and wood work, after having well shaken the container of the composition, the polish is applied a small amount at a time with a perfectly dry clean cotton cloth; then the surface is at once wiped oil" with another perfectly clean soft cotton cloth and it will be found that the article is thus given an exceedingly glossy lustre with practically no effort. This lustre or shine will be retained by the article to which the composition is applied much longer than is the case when the lustre is produced by other known polishing mediums. Also there Will be no greasy substance left on the article as is the case with most of the polishing mediums of this class.

While, inthe foregoing, I have described a specific combination of the substances, it is nevertheless to be understood that in practicing the invention I do not limit myself to the exact amounts of the separate ingredients herein set out, but that said amounts may be varied within certain limits without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

I claim:

.1. A polishing composition comprising, acetic acid, boiled linseed oil, turpentine, and benzyl ester. the whole being emulsified.

2. A polishing composition comprising, acetic acid, boiled linseen oil, turpentine, and an organic solid assisting to support an emulsion, the whole being emulsified.

3. A polishing composition comprising, acetic acid, boiled linseed oil, turpentine benzyl ester, and an organic solid assisting signature.

JAMES M. INOUYE.
