Carbonic Acid with Water for Baths and the like.
1, CHARLES HUELSER, of 14 Upper Woburn Place, London W.C., Patent.
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, a communication to me from
abroad by August Bloch, Inspector of Baths of Elberfeld in the Empire of
Germany to be as follows:-
_:
This invention relates to a process and appliance for mixing gases with liquids
especially carbonic acid with water for baths etc. without special driving power, the
mixing being effected by the gas itself.
The improved appliance consists of a reservoir or reservoirs, which are filled
with water through a pipe conduit with valves, the water being conducted through a
rose or spout to cause it to enter in a distributed state. The air contained in the
reservoir is drawn out through a pipe by means of an injector actuated by steam,
water or the like admitted through a pipe with valve.
After filling the reservoir or reservoirs with water free of air, the water is
drawn by a pipe with valve provided at the bottom through the injector by means
of the compressed gas (carbonic acid) with which the water is mixed and conducted
again into the reservoir or reservoirs through another pipe with valve provided at
the top.
The injector is allowed to act i.e. the water to circulate until it is saturated as
desired with carbonic acid; then it is conducted through a suitable pipe conduit to
the baths. If other substances, salts etc. are to be added to the water, these
substances are brought in a dissolved state into a receptacle or receptacles connected
by a pipe with the interior of the reservoir so that they can be drawn in, which is
indicated by a suitably provided water gauge.

Process and Appliance for Mixing Gases with Liquids, especially
Carbonic Acid with Water for Baths and the like.
I, CHARLES HUELSER of 14 Upper Woburn Place, London W.C., England,
Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention a communication to me
from abroad by August Bloch of Elberfeld, in the Empire of Germany, Bathing
Inspector 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 process and appliance for mixing gases with liquids
especially carbonic acid with water for baths and the like without special driving
power, the mixing being effected by the gas itself.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents a vertical section of the
appliance for mixing after the new process, Fig. 2 a plan of the same.
The improved appliance consists of a reservoir or as exemplified in the drawing,
reservoirs a a, which are filled with water through a pipe conduit 6 with valves,
the water being conducted through a rose or spout to cause it to enter in a
distributed state. The air contained in the reservoir is drawn out through a pipe

admitted through a pipe d with valve d' and may enter either reservoir or both of
them, according to one or both valves being opened.
After filling the reservoir or reservoirs with water free of air, the water is
drawn by a pipef with valve f¹ provided at the bottom through the injector / by
means of the compressed gas (carbonic acid) with which the water is mixed, and
re-conducted into the reservoir or reservoirs through another pipe f* with valve f
provided at the top. The compressed gas is introduced through pipe g with valve g¹.
The injector is allowed to act, i.e. the water to circulate until it is saturated as
desired with carbonic acid, then it is conducted through a suitable pipe i with
valve to the baths. If other substances, salts or the like are to be added to the
water, these substances are brought in a dissolved state into a receptacle or
receptacles kk connected by a pipe with the interior of the reservoir so that they
can be drawn in, which is indicated by a suitably provided water-gauge. The
quantity of this liquid drawn-in is seen on the water-gauge m.
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:
A process for mixing liquids, especially water for baths with gases, consisting in
leading the liquid in reservoirs a and removing, at the same time or before, the air
from the reservoir by an injector e, hereafter drawing in and reconducting this
water freed from air by a second injector h by means of the gas to be mixed for a
longer or shorter time.
Dated this 18th day of January 1894.
