PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ozonising Apparatuses.
I, JULES ELIS, of 27 Rue Nysten, Liége, in the Province of Liége and
Kingdom of Belgium, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatuses serving for the production
and inhalation of ozone and it consists particularly in the use of a glass tube,
hermetically closed, enclosing a gas at a pressure other than atmospheric pressure,
which tube is connected with one of the poles of a coil or other source of electricity.
On the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a transverse vertical section, and Figure 2 a longitudinal section
through an apparatus embodying this invention.
A is a wooden box or case supported upon four feet and entirely open towards
the bottom. The cover or upper bottom is pierced with a hole provided with a
screw-threaded tube or neck O, in which may be screwed the inhalation tube E.
The sides of the apparatus are provided with openings into which is fitted a glass
tube T and in which a more or less perfect vacuum has been produced, or any kind
of gas is compressed. Upon one end of this tube is fitted a terminal B com-
municating with the positive pole of a coil or other source of electricity.
On each lateral side, and at a short distance form this tube, are arranged two
metal plates M M, which slightly spread apart at their base to facilitate the passage
of the current of air drawn in by the tube E. The metallic plates M M are
supported and held by the insulators N; they communicate by a wire with the
terminal C connected to the negative pole of the source of electricity.
When an electric current is passed into the apparatus, the effluvia bursts forth
between the tube T and the metal plates M M ; dull discharges are produced which
ozonise the ambient air. In consequence of the draught exercised by the tube E,
the ozonised air rises in the apparatus in the direction of the arrows and escapes by
the upper orifice of the tube E. The tube T may also be arranged in an inclined
or a vertical position in the apparatus and, instead of the plates M M parallel with
this tube, this latter may be surrounded more or less completely but at a certain
distance, by a sheet of metal.
Dated this Third day of October 1891.

Improvements in Ozonising Apparatuses.
I, JULES EHLIS, of 27 Rue Nysten, Liége in the Province of Liége and Kingdom
of Belguim, 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 relates to improvements in apparatuses serving for the production

page_text: On the drawing left with the Provisional Specification :-
Figure 1 is a transverse vertical section and
Figure 2 a longitudinal section through an apparatus, embodying this invention.
A is a wooden box or case supported upon four feet and entirely open towards
the bottom. The cover or upper bottom is pierced with a hole provided with a
screw threaded tube or neck O, in which may be screwed the inhalation tube E.
The sides of the apparatus are provided with openings into which is fitted a glass
tube T and in which a more or less perfect vacuum has been produced upon
atmospheric air or upon any kind of gas a better conductor of air (hydrogen for
example). Upon one end of this tube is fitted a terminal B communicating with
the positive pole of a coil or other source of electricity.
On each lateral side, and at a short distance from this tube, are arranged two
metal plates M M, which slightly spread apart at their base to facilitate the passage
of the current of air drawn in by the tube E. The metallic plates M M are
supported and held by the insulators N; they communicate by a wire with the
terminal C connected to the negative pole of the source of electricity.
When an electric current is passed into the apparatus, the effluvia is produced
between the tube T and the metal plates M M in the form of a uniform glimmer
which ozonises the ambient air. In consequence of the draught exercised by the
tube E, the ozonised air rises in the apparatus in the direction of the arrows and
escapes by the upper orifice of the tube E. The tube T may also be arranged in
an inclined or a vertical position in the apparatus and, instead of the plates M M
parallel with this tube, this latter may be surrounded more or less completely but at a
certain distance, by a sheet of metal.
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 an ozonising apparatus: a hermetically closed glass tube, enclosing a gas
at a pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure, which tube is connected to one
of the poles of a coil or other source of electricity.
