TRANSFER INK.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILE Gonor, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at ilontreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Transfer Ink; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same.

The present invention pertains to a novel composition of matter in the nature of a transfer ink. In the use of an ink of this character, a design or pattern to be transferred is depicted in transfer ink upon a sheet of paper, either by tracing or in the original. The sheet bearing the design is placed face down upon the surface to which the transfer is to be made, the transfer ink engaging this surface. A hot iron is then passed over the back of the sheet', whereupon the design is transferred to the surface.

This transfer ink is formed of the followingingredients, preferably combined in the proportions indicated, namely: mutton fat,

49 parts; black soap. 14 parts; and aniline coloring, 7 parts.

The black soap is constituted as follows: oil, (preferably rope seed oil), 48 parts; alkali (potash), 12 parts; water, 4.0 parts.

The aniline coloring is pulverized into the soap and the paste thus obtained is mixed with the mutton fat which is previously melted at a low temperature. Finally, the mixture is heated nearly to the boiling point. The black soap, particularly in greater proportion imparts to the mixture sufiicient Application filed November 10, 1924.

color to produce a visible impression. If a more distinct or a true color is desired. aniline coloring matter is added at the end 40 of the heating. The substance is then cooled in suitable molds. Solid briquettes or blocks of ink are thus obtained.

In use, the ink, which is solid to a certain extent, may be dissolved in gasoline or kerosene in such proportions as required. This ink may then be used by any desired means for tracing or otherwise portraying a design or writing upon suitable paper. The design or legend may then be transferred to another surface by means of a hot iron in the manner described above.

The principal ingredients of the ink are mutton fat and black soap, for these are the substances which impart to the ink the property of being transferable under heat. Consequently, it is to be understood that any ink containing these two ingredients and having the property of being transferable under heat is comprised within the subject matter of this invention and the appended claims.

Having thus fully described the invention. what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is 1. An ink adapted to be transferred under heat, containing mutton fat. black soap and coloring matter.

2. An ink adapted to be transferred under heat, containing 49 parts of mutton fat, 14 parts of black soap and coloring matter.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

EMILE GORCY.
