I, ERNEST BÖHм, Chemical Glass Manufacturer and Electrician, of 5, Boxworth
Grove, Richmond Road, Barnsbury, London, N., do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in obtaining ozone by electro-
lysis, that is the action of the electric current (by silent discharge or otherwise
as may be available and for the last quarter of a century well known and practised)
between electrodes of different polarity with the use combined of a dialectric
medium.
In carrying this invention into effect I employ glass bulbs fitted upon or
threaded upon wires of electrical conductivity.
The glass bulbs will be arranged in rows or series between sheets of metal,
or gauze wire sheets, carbon plates, or other material, electrically conductive.
The glass bulbs are to be internally coated with metal, such as lead or silver,
and such bulbs may be of vacuum character except so far as the threading wire
or wires.
This purpose may be effected by using ordinary glass beads but with the
difference of the metallic internal coating and the threading of same upon the
conductive wires.
Thus the bulbs or beads are dialectrics and the current passes from and between
the external electrodes or plates, and the internal electrode consisting of the
threading wires and the metallic coating of the glass bulbs or beads.
The said bulb or beads may be disposed with and between plates or be
arranged with metallic cylinders whether of gauze wire perforated metal or sheet
metal grooved, fluted or plain.
These bulbs, beads or internal and external electrodes are to be employed with
any framing or support or in any chamber or otherwise, but with an electrical
current of required, desired or available quantity, the character being converted,
if necessary by transformers.

The ozone or ozonised air so produced will be available for manufacturing
purposes, or for use in dwellings or in rooms or for curative, theraputic or dis-
enfectant purposes, by enclosing the producer-electrodes and bulbous dia-
lectrics in any required or available chamber, inhaler or other convenient recep-
tacle, capable of allowing an efficient or regulated discharge, or if not in a chamber,
in the open air.

Improvements in and relating to Means for Producing Ozone.
I, ERNEST BÖHM, Chemical Glass Manufacturer and Electrician, of 5, Boxworth
Grove, Richmond Road, Barnsbury, N., London, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be parti-
cularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The present invention has reference to ozonizers, or apparatus for producing
ozone from atmospheric air, the object of the invention being to provide a cheap
construction of apparatus, of greater efficiency than heretofore.
In constructing an apparatus according to my invention, I employ glass bulbs
or beads lined with metal, and threaded together on conducting wires. These
strings of beads are connected electrically with an induction coil, or other suitable
source of electricity, and are arranged in layers in a closed insulating box, of
the kind usually employed in ozonizers.
The layers of beads may be separated by sheets of metal, carbon, or other suit-
able material, perforated or otherwise, in which case the sheets will be connected
to one pole of the induction coil, and the wires of the metal-lined beads to the
opposite pole.
In the absence of the dividing plates or sheets, however, the alternate layers of
beads are connected electrically to the opposite holes.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of part of an ozonizing box containing two layers of
metal-lined glass beads, separated by a sheet of perforated metal.
Fig. 2, is a similar view, showing the beads without the dividing sheet.
Fig. 3 is a partial plan view.
a are glass beads, coated internally with a metallic lining, and threaded on a
conducting wire b, the ends of the wires 6 of each layer are coupled together
(see Fig. 3), and the layers, in the case of Fig. 1, where dividing metal plates c
are employed, are connected to one pole of the induction coil, while the plates
are connected electrically to the opposite pole. There may be any convenient
number of layers, with a corresponding number of dividing plates.
Referring to Fig. 2, it will be seen that the layers of beads are not divided by
plates or sheets of metal, but are laid in contact one on the other, and are
alternately connected to poles of opposite polarity.
Beads of the kind I employ are an article of commerce readily obtained at a
very cheap rate.
Their metallic lining makes a very extensive and efficient surface for conveying
the electric current, and their form is particularly suitable for permitting the
free circulation of the air to be treated.
Air is passed through the ozonizing box in any convenient manner, and the
ozone produced thereby can be placed in containers for use in any manner desired,
or it can be utilized for domèstic, medical, or manufacturing purposes, in the
same manner, and by the same apparatus, as is described in my previous Patents
relating to the production of ozone, No. 615 of 1897, and No. 7177 of 1897.
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:-
=
In ozone producing apparatus, the employment of hollow metal-lined glass
bulbs or heads threaded upon conducting wires, and arranged in the ozonizer,
substantially as above described.
