1. HILARION ANTOINE BERNARD HUGUET, of 22 rue de la Chausée d'Antin, Paris,
France, Doctor of Medicine of the Faculty of Paris, 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 introduction, directly into the respiratory organs, of air
constantly purified and absolutely freed from corpuscles of any kind which may be
floating in the atmosphere. This purified air is also ozonized and impregnated with
chemical products according to the case in course of treatment or the various com-
plaints which it is necessary to grapple with.
The apparatus not only furnishes constantly purified, ozonized, and medicated air, it
continually drives out the matters resulting from pulmonary exhalation, as also any
miasma which may be in the room.
The object of my apparatus is to forward the revivification of the blood in the lungs ;
it is specially intended for the treatment of those diseases which so often undermine
the functions of the respiratory organs and bring on premature death.
in the treatment of diseases caused by poorness of the blood, and
nervous system will be easily understood.
Its importance
debility of the
In order to make my invention more clearly understood, I shall now refer to the
accompanying drawings, in which similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a plan view, and fig. 2 a sectional view of the apparatus.
The air, coming from the outside, enters an apparatus A containing cotton wool
placed on a grating. This cotton wool is intended to collect any impurities which may
be floating in the air. This apparatus A may also be furnished with a deodorizer if
required. This air is drawn into the apparatus by suction by means of a special
ventilator B, closed against any other gas. The ventilator B, as also the motor which
works it, is placed in the basement of the building. The air drawn in is compressed
at CC into an ascending tube which conducts it into the bell cover D. In the interior
of the bell cover D there is an electrical apparatus intended to ozonize the passing air
by the operation of an electric battery E and a tension bobbin F placed under the table
on which the inhaling apparatus is situated. The air, after having passed through the

page_text: ozonizer contained under the bell cover D, flows into a large central bell cover G, is
there accumulated for distribution by means of doors or valves H on the periphery of
the bell cover G in bent glass tubes which dip into jars containing medicines, and is
from thence conducted into the inhalers I shown in plan fig. 1 and in section fig. 2.
By opening one or more doors H, communication is established between the
ozonized air and the suitable medicines. The ozonized air, medicated or otherwise,
may therefore pass into the channel J from whence it goes into one of the globes K
containing a heating apparatus for keeping the air at a temperature suited to the case
of the patient, and which may be regulated as required. The inhalers I terminate in
moveable pieces with rotula tubes or universal joints allowing of their free movement in
any direction. Each of these inhalers is in communication with twelve jars containing
medicines, viz 48 jars for the four inhalers which by opening or closing the doors H
may be connected or shut off.
The gases exhaled by the patients are drawn off by a second ventilator worked by
the same motor. (This second ventilator, being exactly behind the one shown, is not
seen in the drawing.) These gases are drawn off through the excentric tubing L
placed beneath the flooring, and fitting into the tube C.
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 :
1. In an inhaling apparatus, the combination of a filter A, an ozonizer placed inside
a bell cover D, a central bell cover G, fitted with valves H, of bent tubes dipping into
jars containing medicines, channels J, and inhalers I, substantially, as described.
2. In an inhaling apparatus the combination of a filter A, an ozonizer placed inside
a bell cover D, a central bell cover G, fitted with valves H, bent tubes dipping into jars
containing medicines, channels J, and inhalers I, a globe K containing a heating
apparatus, and ventilators, substantially as described.
3. The fittings and arrangements above described, with all their connections, used
either as simple or combined apparatuses..
