Improvements in Buckles.
I, CHARLES A. MINEHART, a citizen of the United States, residing at California,
County of Washington, and State of Pennsylvania, Merchant, have invented
certain new and useful IMPROVEMENTS IN BUCKLES, and I do hereby declare the
following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will
enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same,
reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this
Specification:
==
My invention relates to an improved buckle for garments, and consists of a plate
on which the name of the owner may be engraved or stamped, having two sliding
tangs at the rear, together with the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts
as will be fully described hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a face view of my improved buckle, showing the manner in which
the name of the owner of the garment on which it is used, is arranged.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same.
Fig. 3 is a side sectional elevation of the buckle.
Fig. 4 shows the form of a blank before bending the main portion of the buckle.
To construct a buckle in accordance with my invention, I stamp from a thin
sheet of metal a blank, 1 having openings arranged at each end of the same, and
provided with outwardly extending portions, 3 which are bent inwardly to form
slides, to confine two plates, 4 capable of moving towards or away from the
openings, 2. These plates, 4 are provided with integral tangs, 5 for the purpose of
Formed
engaging with the straps which are passed through the openings, 2.
integral with the blank, 1 and near each end of the same, are small pieces, 6 which
when bent inwardly and in close contact with the blank, form stops and will prevent
the plates, 4 from moving forward but a limited distance. Similar pieces, 7 at the
middle of the plate, will regulate the inner movement of the plates, 4, and small
indentations, 8 formed at suitable points in the plate, 1 will serve to retard the
movement of the plates, 4.
This buckle when placed at the rear of a vest or pantaloons, will remain at the
centre, as the two straps are drawn from each side, and the smooth outer surface of
the blank,
serves as a plate to stamp the owners name and address thereon, with
an advertisement of the makers name and address.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The herein described buckle, consisting of the blank 1 the sliding pieces, 4
provided with tangs, 5 the inwardly bent portions, 3 to form slides, and the stops, 6 & 7
to limit the movement of the said sliding pieces, 4 and the said buckle having a
large exposed surface for the purpose of stamping the owners name thereon,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I hereunto set my hand and seal, this

Improvements in Pokers and Appliances for Breaking Coal.
I WILLIAM TOWNSEND 5 Falcon Street London E.C. Manufacturer of Fancy
Goods do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of improvements in pokers and appliances for breaking
coal, and its object is to provide an appliance capable of breaking coal, either on
or off a fire with the least possible exertion.
I propose to take an ordinary kitchen or any other kind of poker and by means
of cutting or filing or turning or otherwise to make instead of the bottom or square
part thereof, with three or more corrugations (or without) finished to a sharp edge,
and to work the extreme end of the poker to a screw turned point.
My invention may be made of iron or steel or other suitable material, and to any
pattern and size, so that it can be used either as an ordinary domestic fire iron, or
as a coal breaker by miners and others when coal is required to be broken. It must
be obvious that coal can be more casily broken by striking or piercing it with my
improved screw pointed poker, than by a poker as now made with a blunt or
rounded end.
My invention may be used either by itself, or it may be applied to existing pokers,
and other coal breaking appliances.

An Improved Copying Press.
I AUGUST MITTAG, of Lötzen, East Prussia, in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, 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 invention hereinafter described relates to a double armed or double lever
copying press of very simple construction by means of which the power exerted
will produce a greater pressure than that with one armed or single lever presses
and which will be a boon to persons that are weak in health.
In the accompanying drawings Figures 1. 2 and 3 show respectively a side view
a plan and an end view of my improved copying press. Figure 4 is a cross section
through the press in operation.
The press consists of a bed plate resting upon feet a or other suitable support
and in which the guides c are fixed.
Between these guides c the pressure plate can move up and down being provided
with a longitudinal bar d; the upward motion is carried out in such a manner that
it must be effected by hand.
The two guides c are connected together at their upper ends by two cross bars g
between which a space is left and which are connected centrally by a bolt / serving
also as the fulcrum or axis for the two pressure levers or arms i.
The operation of this copying process is very simple as after the pressure plate f
has been raised by hand the copying book or other matter (see Figure 4) is inserted
between the pressure plate fand the bed plate and the arms i are drawn together
centrally whereby the lower halves of the arms i are laid against the pressure plate f
and press the same firmly against the book or matter to be copied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
A copying press having two pressure levers such as i arranged to turn in the
centre of the connecting bars g and which when drawn together towards the centre
press the pressure plate guided by the bars c against the book or the like matter
placed between the said plate and the bed plate of the press substantially in the
manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings
hereunto annexed.

An Improvement in Wooden Golf Club Heads.
I CHARLES JAMES RIVETT-CARNAC Comptroller, Financial Department
Nagpur Central Provinces, India, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for AN IMPROVEMENT IN WOODEN GOLF CLUB HEADS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
A strip of horn being attached in position to the front edge and sunk flush with
the lower surface of the wooden golf club head as at present done, the wood of the
sole not so protected and covered by the horn is cut away to a depth of about one
cighth of an inch or less and a piece of metal plate is shaped so as to completely
fit into the wooden part so cut away, such piece of metal being of sufficient thick-
ness so that when fixed in position, the outer surface of the metal plate and horn
shall be flush with each other. The metal plate is secured and fastened in position
by means of small screws, screwed into the wood through the metal plate, the heads
of the screws being sunk flush with the outer surface of the metal plate.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. Not the use of a metal plate which gives a metal front edge to the sole of the
club, which is already done in the clubs called "Brassies" and in Ferines Patent
Club," both of which give a metal front edge to the sole of the club; but what I
do claim as particularly novel and my invention, is the application of a metal plate
fixed to the sole of the golf club behind the existing horn front piece as described
in the body of this Specification, and for which I claim the following advantages.
2. That a wooden club head so protected as described above has all the
good qualities of the present wooden clubs with horn front edges, with the
advantage over such clubs that that portion of the wooden sole of the club
unprotected by horn is protected by the metal plate from wearing away by
constant friction when in use.
3. Clubs so protected are far more durable than ordinary clubs with a horn edge
alone especially in India and where the ground is hard & gritty as the wooden
sole cannot wear away, if the metal plate is renewed when the latter is found to be
wearing too thin.
4. The balance of the club in use is better preserved as the wearing parts, such
as the horn edge and metal plate are both renewable when found to be wearing
away from friction.

An Improved Method of Preparing the Dough for Rusks, Biscuits,
and Fancy Bread.
I CHARLES NOLTE of 34 Grosvenor Road Cannonbury in the County of
Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to prepare the dough for rusks, biscuits and fancy
bread in a better inore thorough and scientific manner, then could heretofore be
accomplished.
Hitherto it was through the temperature of the air in the bakehouse that the
different stages of fermentation of the dough, were produced.
In this my new process I expose the dough to the direct influence of air artificially
produced pure watervapor (steam)-which I introduce in any suitable manner, be
it into a bakehouse or into a special chamber, where dough is placed to ferment,
either in its first stage, that is to say before kneading, or after it has been kneaded,
and then either whole or divided into pieces.
The chief advantage of my new process is that the after fermentation is far more
energetic and thorough, where steam is used, then where air alone is used, for the
formation of the skin on the top of the dough is excluded. The steam always keeps
the surface elastic and free from said skin, so that gases forming during the process
of fermentation will readily loosen the dough and escape.
I preferably employ a small chamber constructed of any suitable wood, provided
with perforated trays on which the pieces of dough are placed, into this chamber I
introduce a steam jet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
In preparing the dough for rusks, fancy bread and biscuits, the employment of
pure watervapor (steam)-preferably in a specially constructed chamber, for the
purpose of facilitating and improving the fermentation of the dough, substantially as
hereinbefore described.

Fig. 7, a loose tongue.
Before describing my invention I will premise that a "ticket holder" of the
class to which my invention refers, is an appliance to be fastened to the side of a
wagon, and having a spring clip which presses against wagon, which holds the
address card or other ticket firmly until it requires replacing.
I make the body or bracket A, of some convenient form such as that shown in
Fig. 1, prepared with screw holes by means of which it may be readily secured to
the woodwork of the wagon, carriage, or the like.
On the underside of the body I make a longitudinal recess R, to receive a
spring E, and two transverse grooves G, made in line to receive the axis of the
clip or holder B, and of a nearly circular cross section to form bearings for the
axis C, to turn in.
The narrow aperture G¹ cut through the face of the body into the transverse
grooves is to permit the passage of the axis C, of the clip B, when the two parts
are put together.
I prefer to make the clip B, in one solid piece as shown, the top bar being
arched as is usual; the bottom bar forms the axis C upon which it turns when
pulled open, and is made cylindrical for that purpose, except in the centre where I
construct a tongue D, or like projection, for a spring E, to bear against, and by
means of which the clip is pressed against the card.
I may make the spring of one or more plates of steel as preferred, and secure it
in the recess by a screw or rivet.
Although I prefer to make the clip B, in one piece, I may if found desirable,
make the axis C, of steel rod, or otherwise, and either with a solid tongue, or with
a detached tongue as shown in Fig. 7.
To connect the clip B, to the body A, the round bottom bar C, is inserted at one
end of the transverse groove and pushed forward; the end shown in Fig. 2, being
necked, so that both it and the tongue D, will pass through the open slit or
aperture G' until the tongue is in the recess R, when the clip may be turned into
the position shown in Fig. 1.
The free end of the spring E, previously put into the recess and secured will now
engage with and press upon the tongue, and the ticket holder may be screwed upon
the wagon.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same may be performed or carried into practice, I
declare that what I claim is :-
1. A ticket holder, the clipping part of which is provided with a tongue D
fitting in a spring recess R, on the underside of the body A, and acted upon by a
plate spring of one or more plates E, substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated.
2. A ticket holder, consisting of a body A; a clip B; having an axis C, provided
with a tongue D, and turning in bearings G, and a plate spring E, substantially as
herein before described and illustrated.

A New or Improved Apparatus for Impressing Lines on Note-paper
and the like.
I THOMAS EDWARD BATCHELOR, home address, 62, Bolsover Street, Euston
Road, London, N.W. present service, 58, Eaton Place, London, S.W. Indoor
Servant, 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 :-
This invention relates to a new or improved apparatus for impressing lines on
note-paper and the like, and has for its object a simple and efficient means for
impressing guide lines on note-paper and other like blank surfaces, on which it is
desirable that no printed or similar lines should appear.
And in order that my invention may be the more fully understood, I hereto
annex a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein :
Fig. is a front view of my invention, and Fig. 2 a section of the roller
thereof.
a is a roller formed of brass, steel, or any other suitable material, whether metal
or otherwise, provided on its outer periphery with parallel projections a', running
the entire length of the aforesaid roller a.
These said parallel projections a¹, are formed with tapering extremities, which
are rounded off as shewn.
In the illustration, the projections a¹ are shewn as being formed distinct from the
roller itself, and fixed in grooves or beds formed therein.
In this case the roller a could be formed of wood, vulcanite, or the like material,
the projections a' being formed of brass, steel, or similar metal, though composition
possessed of sufficient hardness, could be utilized for the purpose.
It is obvious however that both the roller a, and the parallel projections a¹, can
be formed integrally with one another.
The roller a is provided with a handle, which is pivoted thereto at a².
The said handle b may be pivoted to the roller a as shewn, by means of a screw 2,
passing through the roller arms or bracket, and provided with a washer b³, or
the said roller a may revolve upon a central axle keyed to the handle arms or
bracket b'.
Any other suitable form of pivoting may be used for the purpose however, that
may be found desirable.
The before described parallel projections a', are placed at any convenient interval
apart, so that when the roller a is passed over the note-paper or the like, suitable
parallel impressions will be formed on the surface thereof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The new or improved apparatus for impressing guide lines on note-paper and the
like, substantially as described and shewn and for the purpose set forth.

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:-
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figures 1 and 3, show in plan two hooks constructed according to my improve-
ments.
Figures 2 and 4 show edge views of the same.
Each hook may be formed either by punching it out of a sheet of iron, steel, brass
or other suitable compound metal, then bending to form a hook above a flat base,
punctured with four holes, two at the bottom and two near the hooked end as shown
at Figures 1 and 2.
Or each hook may be formed of wire bent to the shape shown at Figures 3 and 4
forming two loops at the bottom and two at the top, the folded part of the wire
to form the hook being slightly flattened before being turned over the looped
portion.
Whichever form is employed each hook may be securely fastened to a dress or
other article by stitching through it outside the hook then through each perforation
or loop, thereby forming four points of attachment instead of two, as in the ordinary
hook.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction and employment of dress hooks, substantially as described and
illustrated in the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Safety Pins.
I, HENRY EDWARD NEWTON, of the Office for Patents, 6 Bream's Buildings,
Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, 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 object of this invention is to provide a safety pin which may be opened or
closed from either side.
Hitherto, safety pins have been so formed that the pin could enter or leave the
guard from one side only, which presented inconveniences that it is the design of
this invention to obviate.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 shews a safety pin constructed according to this invention, as open, ready
to be inserted in the garment.
Fig. 2 shews the pin closed.
Fig. 3 shews the body of the pin without the guard.
Fig. 4 is a side view of the guard; and Fig. 5 is a section on the line A, B,
Fig. 2.
The free end of the
The body of the pin is formed of wire in the usual way.
guard arm is bent back upon itself, and is then turned up at right angles, as seen
at C, Fig. 3. The vertical portion is pointed, as shewn at Fig. 5.
The guard consists of a trough-shaped piece of metal bent to a U shape, which
will present an opening, as at a, for the pin to pass in. The pin, in consequence to
the spring of the metal, will fit into the trough, as at b.
The guard is placed on the guard arm, and is secured thereon by soldering, or
simply squeezing the part marked c, with a suitable tool, into the recess formed
where the wire is turned back on itself, as indicated in Fig. 5.
As the vertical part of the wire C will extend across the opening a of the guard,
the pin will be guided thereby into its recess b, but inasmuch as the wire is pointed,
and takes up a central position in the trough (see Fig. 5), it will be possible for the
pin to pass in or out on either side, as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, (as communicated to me
from abroad) I declare that what 1 claim is :-
A safety pin constructed and arranged as herein shewn and described, in which
the pin may be passed in or out of the guard from either side, as set forth.

Improvements in Elastic Laces for Boots, Shoes, Corsets, Gloves,
or other Articles of Dress.
I JOHN GEORGE HEAL of "Arnewood," Nelson Road, Southsea in the County
of Hants Commercial Traveller 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:-
This invention relates to the use of elastic cord or elastic band as laces for
articles of wearing apparel such as boots shoes, corsets, gloves, or other articles of
dress.
I make such laces in the manner shown by the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is a plan of a flat elastic lace suitable for boots or shoes.
Figure 2 is a plan of a round elastic lace suitable for corsets.
Figure 3 shows the ends of Figure 2 engaging with a stud.
Figure 4 shows the ends of Figure 1 engaging with a stud.
Figures 5, 6, and 7 show the three stages of formation of the tag and loop hole
at the extremities of the lace.
Figure 8 represents a stud employed for joining the ends of the lace.
The lace A is folded over as shown in Figure 5 and thus secured by a tag Bas
shown in Figure 6. A second tag C is then secured at the extremity forming the
loop D behind the tag C as shown in Figure 7. By means of the loops D the ends
of the laces may be secured by a stud E which may be an ordinary shirt stud or
one of any ornamental kind.
Such a lace applied to gloves or shoes allows for taking off without unlacing
and in the case of such articles of dress as corsets, facilitates the operation of
unfastening without unlacing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. The use of elastic laces whereby such articles as gloves or shoes may be
withdrawn without unlacing substantially as described.
2. The formation of a loop in laces by means of double tags substantially as and
for the purpose described.
3. The combination of a lace for articles of wearing apparel with a stud for
securing the ends of the same substantially as described.

* Improvements in Hoisting and Lowering Apparatus.
I, DAVID (CYNRIG) THOMAS, of Bronwydd, Llanishen, near Cardiff, in the
County of Glamorgan, Ironmonger 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 :-
Between two standards A and B, which are tied together by means of distant
pieces C, I employ a shaft D, one end of which is screwed into the standard A, and
the other fitted into a journal in the standard B. On the said shaft DI place a
drum E, and pulley F. On each end of the drum E and concentric with the
shaft D is a series of grooves. These grooves correspond with similar ones on the
pulley F, and on the standard B. The drum E is free to rotate on the shaft D
between the collars G and H, which are fixed to the said shaft. The pulley F is
also free to rotate on the said shaft D. A washer of any suitable anti-friction
metal is placed between the collar H and the drum E, and another between the
pulley F and the standard A.
A screwing sliding motion may be given to the shaft D by a weighted lever J,
and communicated through the collars G and H to the drum E in opposite
directions.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-
When it is necessary to raise the load, motion given to the lever in an upward
direction forces the drum E laterally into contact with the grooves on the revolving
pulley F, and the load is raised. When it is desired to arrest the load, the weightel
lever J is allowed to fall, and the drum E is withdrawn from contact with the
pulley F and forced into contact with the grooves on the standard B. To lower
the load, the lever J is so held that the drum E is free to revolve between the
pulley F and the standard B.
A pinion may be used instead of the drum, when double purchase gearing, or
increased power, is desirable.
Fig. 1. is a section.
Fig. 2. is an end elevation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. Hoisting apparatus in which a pulley and drum on a common axis may be so
coupled together that rotary motion may be transmitted by the pulley to the drum
and rotary motion in the drum either retarded, or arrested, independently of the
pulley by the use of concentric grooves and a lever and shaft motion substantially
as described.
2. Hoisting apparatus substantially as described and shown in the drawings.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cased Tubing.
1, FREDERICK MADELEY of Doveridge, King's Norton, in the County of
Worcester, Tube Manufacturer, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of soldered cased
tubes.
When it is desired to produce a brazed cased tube a strip of sheet brass is
turned up into a skelp or tube by drawing through suitable dies or rolls and a
dressing of hard solder having been laid along the edges thereof it is subjected to
the heat of a brazing hearth by which means the solder is fused and a joint is
made, the edges becoming soldered or brazed together. The brass tube is then
pulled over an iron or steel skelp or tube so as to form a casing therefor. All
excrescences of solder having been removed by filing or otherwise the double tube
is re-drawn to close the iron and brass tubes together, and is finally finished and
lacquered. The above operation is however more expensive than the following
"close
which is used when it is desired to produce what is known in the trade as a
joint cased tube," by which is meant, a eased tube that has the joint drawn close
but not brazed or soldered. In this case, instead of brazing the edges of the brass
casing before pulling it on to the iron tube, they are turned inside the contiguous
edges and the final drawing closes the tube and binds them all together.
Now the object of this invention is to produce a cased tube possessing the
advantages of the ordinary brazed cased tube and at a cost more nearly
approximating to that of the close joint tube.
In carrying my invention into practice I proceed as follows
I first make a close joint cased tube" in the ordinary manner and as described
above, and I then solder the joint with soft solder.
The advantages gained by constructing a tube in this manner are that a soldered
cased tube, which possesses far more strength and rigidity than a simple close
joint eased tube, can be made at a reduced cost, since a thinner casing of brass can
be used than is possible when the cases have to be first brazed before being put upon
the inside tubes, and by the employment of soft solder the cost of soldering is
decreased and the brass used for casing may be of a cheaper quality than that
which is used for hard soldering.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The manufacture of soldered cased tubing in the improved manner hereinabove
described, that is to say by bending a strip of brass into a skelp or tube, drawing
the same over a skelp or tube of iron or steel, drawing the two tubes through a
suitable die or dies, and then soldering the adjacent parts of the brass skelp or
tube as set forth.

Improvement in Ozone Water and in the Method of Making same.

CUM LEI DI DOLFICATION
An Improvement in Ozone Water and in the Method of
Making same.
I JULIUS CARL DITTRICH of 86 Walker Street New York in the United States
of America, Inventor 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 :—
My invention relates to the manufacture of ozone water, that is to say, water
which is charged with ozone and used for medicinal or other purposes. My object
is to enable the water to retain the ozone for an indefinite length of time without
any alteration. Where the water is simply charged with ozone, it is found that in
a short time, usually in a few hours-the ozone becomes converted into oxygen
in its ordinary form. Attempts have been made to remedy this by the introduction
into the ozone water of certain chemical substances, those which have hitherto been
found most useful being compounds of chlorine, such as hydro-chloric-acid, to which
are added small quantities of chloride of sodium, chloride of magnesia, or other
chlorides. While, however, these materials lessen the conversion of the ozone to
some extent, it is found necessary, where they are used, to keep the ozone water
where it will not be exposed to the light or to an unusually high temperature.
I have found that by the use of those compounds of oxygen and phosphorus in
which the proportion of oxygen is small, that is to say, the phosphites and hypo-
phosphites, the ozone water retains all its original properties for an indefinite time,
even if it is exposed to light or to a high degree of heat, and it is in the use of
these substances for the purpose mentioned that my invention consists.
In carrying my invention into effect, I charge the water with the ozone in any
ordinary or suitable way, introducing the ozone into the water, either with or
without the use of pressure, until a sufficient quantity of ozone is absorbed by the
water, and I add to the water, either before or after the charging process, a small
quantity of the phosphite or hypo-phosphite.
Preferably place the phosphite or hypo-phosphite in the water before charging
it with ozone.
The quantity employed is very small, being perhaps in proportion
to the quantity of water as 1 to 1000 or thereabout.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The herein described improvement in the process of making ozone water,
which consists in adding to the water a phosphite or hypo-phosphite.
2. Water charged with ozone and containing also a small quantity of a phosphite
or hypo-phosphite, substantially as set forth.
3. The herein described improvement in the process of making ozone water
which consists in first placing in the water a phosphite or hypo-phosphite and then
charging the water with ozone, substantially as set forth.
