[mprovements in or in connection with Apparatus for the Production
of Ozone by Electricity.
I, JOSHUA HENRY LAMPREY, of No. 1, Walburton Road, Brockley, in the
County of Kent, Literary Editor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to ozonizers or apparatus for the production of ozone
by electricity such as that described in the Specification of Letters Patent
No. 11810 granted to me and bearing date the 19th day of June 1894 and my
said invention consists of the improvements hereinafter described in or in con-
nection with such apparatus the purpose of which improvements is to provide
for convenience and facility in use of the apparatus where currents of the ozone
generated thereby or of air charged with such ozone are required to be concen-
trated on a given object or caused to pass in a determinate direction as for in-
stance in use of the apparatus for medical and sanitary purposes.
According to my said improvements I arrange an ozonizer of the kind referred
to or a number of such ozonizers within a casing of tubular or other convenient
form having provision for entry and exit of air at different parts thereof and I
combine or arrange in conjunction therewith and within the same casing a rota-
tory fan or fans or equivalent means for causing passage of a current or cur-
rents of air therethrough and an electric or other suitable motor for actuating
the said fan or fans or equivalent.

Improvements in or in connection with Apparatus for the Production
of Ozone by Electricity.
I, JOSHUA HENRY LAMPREY, of No. 1, Walburton Road, Brockley, in the
County of Kent, Literary Editor, 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 ozonizers or apparatus for the production of ozone
by electricity such as that described in the Specification of Letters Patent

page_text: No. 11810 granted to me and bearing date the 19th day of June 1894 and my
said invention consists of the improvements hereinafter described in or in con-
nection with such apparatus the purpose of which improvements is to provide
for convenience and facility in use of the apparatus where currents of the ozone
generated thereby or of air charged with such ozone are required to be concen-
trated on a given object or caused to pass in a determinate direction as for in-
stance in use of the apparatus for medical and sanitary purposes.
According to my said improvements I arrange, an ozonizer of the kind referred
to or a number of such ozonizers within a casing of tubular or other convenient
form having provision for entry and exit of air at different parts thereof and I
combine or arrange in conjunction therewith and within the same casing a rota-
tory fan or fans or equivalent, means, for causing, passage of a current or cur-
rents of air therethrough and an electric or other suitable motor for actuating
the said fan or fans or equivalent.

My said invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing Figure 1 of
which is a side elevation partly in section and Figures 2 and 3 are end eleva-
tions illustrating the arrangement of an ozonizer of the construction herein-
before described within a tubular casing in combination with a
rotatory fan
and electric motor. Figure 4 is a detail hereinafter referred to.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the said figures.
aaare the parts of the ozonizer. b is the casing, which is formed of earthen-
ware' or other convenient non-conductive material having feet cnc shod with india
rubber or other suitable soft or yielding material d d and within which the
ozonizer is supported at its ends by rings e é of a suitable non-conductive
materail such as wood soaked in stearine. The ends of the several conductors
of the ozonizer are connected to binding screws f f to which when the apparatus
is to be used the terminals of the current generator are respectively connected
through any suitable apparatus for producing alternation of the current.
are rubber washers placed between the casing band the bearing part of the
binding screws. ff. The fan consists of vanes i having a shape essentially
similar to that of the blades of a screw propeller which vanes are carried by the
rotatory spindle of an electric motor k of ordinary.construction mounted
within the casing b. The conductors of the motor are led to binding screws
to which the generator of the current for working the motor is connected in the
ordinary manner. Between the rings ee and the casing are placed layers
of vulcanite m and baize n and the said rings and the motor kare kept in their
relative positions by securing them to a vulcanite plate o having a backing of
baize and the whole is retained in place within the casing by 'means of slips
of sheet metal g g secured to the casing bby bolts r r and nuts ss bearing
on rubber washers and to the motor by screws passing through them
into arms projecting from the poles of the motor magnet as clearly shown
in Figure 2 and in Figure 4 which is a part sectional plan taken on the line A
Figure 2. wware blocks of wood through the medium of which the motor
is connected to the vulcanite plate o by screws as also shown in Figure 2 and on
which blocks the binding screws of the motor conductors are mounted. When
the motor is in action the fan draws air into the casing at the motor end and
causes it to pass out at the other end the air so passing becoming ozonized by
the discharge between the conductors of the ozonizer within the said casing.
The combination with the ozonizer of a casing and fan and motor as herein-
before discribed greatly facilitates use thereof for medical purposes and for
other purposes where facility in direction of a current of ozonized air is required.
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 arrangement of an ozonizer of the type hereinbefore referred to within a
casing having provision for entry and exit of air at different parts thereof and

page_text: the combination therewith of a rotatory fan and an electric motor for actuating
the said fan substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing and for the purpose described.
Dated this Eleventh day of December 1899.
