Improvements in or relating to Deodorising, Disinfecting, Perfuming,
and the like.
I, WILLIAM CHATTAWAY, of 32 Amyand Park Road, Twickenham, in the County of
Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Chemists and Consulting Chemist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to utilize the heat generated by incandescent
electric gas and other lamps, candles and other illuminating devices and in electric
resistances, which would otherwise be wasted, for effecting the volatilization of
deodorising, disinfecting, perfuming and analogous agents.
In carrying the invention into practice I fit a receptacle containing the desired
material say for example phenol adjacent to the lamp or other device which is to
supply the heat necessary for volatilizing it. For example in the case of an incan-
descent electric lamp having a shade or reflector above it, the receptacle may be
placed upon the shade and practically the same may be said with regard to gas
lamps and candles except that the receptacle would be farther away from the lamp,
the position of the receptacle depending upon the amount of heat thrown off by
the lamp.
The heat generated in electric resistances may be similarly utilized, the receptacle
in this application may be located above or beside or around the resistance as may be
found most suitable.
Where a larger amount of heat is required than given by an incandescent electric
lamp, or where light is not required, a special metallic or other resistance may be
employed.
The receptacle for carrying the volatile material and the reflector may be formed in
one piece.

I, WILLIAM CHATTAWAY of 32 Amyand Park Road, Twickenham, in the County of
Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Chemists and Consulting Chemist 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 has for its object the utilization of the heat generated by incandescent
electric gas and other lamps, and in electric resistances, which would otherwise be
wasted, for effecting the volatilization of deodorising, disinfecting, perfuming and
analogous agents.
In carrying the invention into practice I fit a receptacle containing the desired
material say for example phenol adjacent to the lamp or other device which is to

page_text: supply the heat necessary for volatilizing it. For example in the case of an incan
descent electric lamp having a shade or reflector above it, the receptacle may be placed
upon the shade and practically the same may be said with regard to gas lamps, except
that the receptacle would be farther away from the lamp, the position of the receptacle
depending upon the amount, of heat thrown off by the lamp. The shades placed
above gas and other lamps for protecting ceilings may also be utilized for this
purpose.
.
The heat generated in electric resistances may be similarly utilized, the receptacle
in this application may be located above or beside or around the resistance as may be
found most suitable.
Where a larger amount of heat is required than given by an incandescent electric
lamp, or where light is not required; a special metallic or other resistance may be
employed.
The receptacle for carrying the volatile material and the reflector may be formed in
one piece.
Suitable provision may be made if desired against injury of the electrical connections
by the disinfectant or other agent employed.
The accompanying drawing illustrates by way of example one construction according
to this invention in which the upper side of a reflector A with an incandescent lamp B
below it is provided with lips A1; the annular trough between the lips contains the
liquid C, for volatilization.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
... 1. Utilizing the heat generated by incandescent electric gas and other lamps and
in electrical resistances for effecting the volatilization of deodorising disinfecting
perfuming and analogous agents.
2. The employment of a volatilizable deodorising disinfecting perfuming or
analogous agent adjacent to a lamp or electrical resistance. for supplying the heat
substantially as described.
3. The combination with an incandescent electric gas or other shade or electrical
resistance of a receptacle for containing a deodorising disinfecting perfuming or
analogous agent capable of being volatilized by the waste heat substantially as
⚫described.
