Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
The following is the description of my mode of manufacturing paper from a marine production, or sea-grass, designated by botanists, as Ulva Marina."
First, all rock, roots, and shells, to be carefully separated from it. Secondly, the dust to be cleared from it, by beating it.
Thirdly, to be steeped in lime-water, in order to discharge the salt from it, and thus prevent decomposition.
Fourthly, to be partially pulverized. (It can be bleached perfectly white by the use of oxymuriate of lime, otherwise called chalonic acid) [chloride of lime.]
Fifthly, to be made into pulp in the usual manner, either by beating, or in a paper engine. Sixthly, to be dipped, pressed, sized, and dried in the usual way.
As the sea-grass, or ulva marina, is capable of being manufactured into paper by other modes than that above described, I claim as my invention, the manufacture of paper from the said sea-grass, or ulva marina, not by any particular mode, but by any process whatever which it may undergo; and whether such paper is composed entirely of the said sea-grass, or ulva marina, or mixed in any proportion with other materials heretofore known, or used for the manufacture of paper.
