An Electric Body Belt.
GEORGE HENRY REDFERN Porter Street Staveley near Chesterfield Derbyshire
England Saddler do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The Belt consists of two worsted webs, or any other suitable material, any length
and width as may be required. One web larger in width than the other, on to
Two blocked tin
which is fastened the second web, stretched down the centre.
bottles A act as batteries, one at either end of the Belt bedded in the web with a
leather covering. Running from one battery to the other are placed discs of
copper C and pieces of zinc B alternately. Copper wire connects the batteries,
running from the battery at either end of the Belt, insulated at the battery necks.
On leaving the batteries A the copper wire is divided into two parts, one part is
drawn through the copper discs C and connects the zinc plates B running under
the zine plates and the uppermost web, and continuing in this manner from the
connections at either battery. The second wire is drawn through the zinc plates B
and connects the copper discs C running in like manner to the first wire under
the zinc plates B and the uppermost web. Salamoniac liquid is placed in the
batteries A which requires renewal every 14 days. This completes the circuit and
the electric current is thereby generated and passes the whole length of the Belt.
The discs of copper and zinc plates are placed away from the body when in use.
Date this 27th day of August 1889.

GEORGE HENRY REDFERN Porter Street Staveley near Chesterfield Derbyshire
England Saddler do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The Belt consists of two worsted webs, or any other suitable material, any length
and width as may be required. One web larger in width than the other, on to which
is fastened the second web, stretched down the centre. Two blocked tin bottles A act
as batteries, one at either end of the belt hedded in the web with a leather covering.
Running from one battery to the other are placed discs of copper C and pieces of
zine B alternately. Copper wire connects the batteries, running from the battery at
either end of the Belt insulated at the battery necks. On leaving the batteries A the
copper wire is divided into two parts, one part is drawn through the copper discs (
and connects the zinc plates B running under the zinc plate and the uppermost web
and continuing in this manner from the connections at either battery. The second
wire is drawn through the zinc plates B and connects the copper discs C. running in
like manner to the first wire, under the zinc plates B and the uppermost web as
shown on Drawing sheet No. 1 as filed with Provisional Specification and No. 2 with
Complete Specification. Salamoniac powdered or liquid is placed in the batteries A
which requires renewal every 14 days this completes the circuit, and the electric
current is thereby generated and passes the whole length of the belt. The discs of
copper and zinc plates are placed away from the body when in use.
