Patents on Telepho mes.

Much public interest has been ex-
cited throughout the country by the
announcement that the patent for
one of the important features OF the
Bell telephone was about TO expire.
A thorough search OF the records Of
the patent office discloses the fact that
the patent granted to Alexander Ora
ham Bell March 7, 1876, expired
Tuesday. This patent covers broadly
the art Of transferring to, or impress
ing upon, a continuous circuit, by
gradually changing it's intensity, the
vibrations of air produced by the hui
man voice in articulate speech in a
way to cause the speech to be carried
to and received by listener at dis
lance on the line of the current"
Briefly stated, the situation as to
the Bell patents is simply this: Let
tiers patent to Professor Bell, granted
January 80, 1877, will expire January
80. 1894 The Supreme Court has in
this patent sustained claims for Il
sounding box, for a speaking-tube or
mouth-piece, and for metallic dia-
phragm broadly. These details are
40 fundamental that a commercial
instrument could hardly be construct
ed without them.
The foreign patent to Boil covers a
receiver and was filed December 8,
1876, and expired December 8, 1890.
1t did not become patent until Nav
Is, 1877, so that the United States
patent to Bell of 1876 would not be
limited by this foreign patent, be-
cause the invention had not been
previously patented" within tho
meaning of the statute, prior to the
1876 foreign patent to Bell.
The patent to Hunnings in England
Of September 80, 1873, expired Sep
TENDER 30, 1892 This patent covers
a lricrophone, with a coInminuted or
powdered electrode. While it may
be true that the patent in this coun-
try on such microphone has eI
pired, yet it is not to be overlooked
that a patent has recently been is
sued TO Emile Berliner which covers
a microphone broadly; that is, a con-
tact telephone depending upon pres
sure between the electrodes 1t also
must not be overlooked that patent
was issued May 3, 1889. to Y. A. Edison
for a microphoue with high-resist-
ance slestrode broadly. 1t covers a
species OF the genius covered by the
Berliner patent.
The patents covering the so-cnllsa
Blake transmitter" expire shortly.
They cover, briefly stated, pendulous
electrodes, diaphragms held in place
by spring and muffies acting as dia-
phragms.
1t Is a fair conclusion to reach,
therefore, in view of the present state
of the said patents relating to tele-
phones, etc, owned by the Bell Tele-
phone Company, that there seems to
be no good reason why, after Janua-
~ 80, 1894, telephone having a mag
netic transmitter, should not be put
upon the market without danger of
infringing other patents. This, at
least, is the opinion expressed by the
chief officials Of the patent Office.
