To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, ROBERT FRANCIS WOOD SMITH, a'subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 89 Bartholomew Close, London, England, have invented a new and useful Im- "provement in OzQ'ne-Inhalerspf which the following is a specification.

My lnveution consists in the novel features hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate one form in which I have, contemplated embodying my invention, and said invention is fully disclosed in the following description and claims.

In carrying out my invention I construct a suitable box having a lid and preferably a drop-down front, the said box being provided with a horizontal partition or frame dividing it into an upper and a lower chamber. in the lower chamber are located one or more batteries and in the upper chamber I locatethe upper chamber with a small electric lamp suitable for use by medical practitioners and to provide electric controlling devices whereby the ozonizer, the lamp, or the coil or coils can be connected with-the batteries and the strength of the current regulated. The induction coil or coils and the lamps, However,

form 110 part of my present invention. To enable the invention to be fully understood, I willdescribe it by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is-a sectional front elevation of apparatus made according to the invention.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the lid of the apparatus. Fig. 3 is a sectional end elevation of the; apparatus, and Fig. 4: is a diagrammatic view illustrating the electrical connections. I

a is the box or case, having thedropdown front a, and h is the lid thereof.

c is the inside rectangular frame, which just fits the inside-of the boxproper, leaving a space at between its upper part and the top of the lid b.

is held in the clip f, and g g g are the screws for the terminal wires of the medical coil.

71. is the switch-plate, of xylonite, vulcanite,

or other suitable non-conducting material,

the said plate being provided with two keys i and j, respectively.- The key 11 can be brought into contact with anyone of the plugs or contacts 1 2 3 4, the plug lserving toclose the lamp'circuih'the plug 2 serving to close the ozonizer-circuit, the plug 3 serving to close the medical-coil circuit, and the plug 4 placing all these devices out of circuit. The key j can be brought into contact with any one of the key is upon theplug 1 no current is passing, the strength of the current gradually increasing as the key is moved from the plug 2 to 5.

the five contactsl 2 3 4 5, such that when k is a dry batterybf any suitable constrnc- V tion and which supplies the primary coilsof the ind notion-coil l and the induction-coil n2. with current, the secondary circuit of the coil Zcontaining the ozonizer and the coil or be ing the medicai coil.

n is a second dry battery which supplies the lamp with current;

When it is required to inhale ozone, the lid b of the box is closed,as shown in the figures, so that ozone is generated in the confined space dand can issue through the mouthpiece-or funnel 0, which is fitted to the opening p in the front of the said lid. With this,

arrangementit is necessary to force air into the space d, and to this end I employ the compressible bulb q, the tube or nozzle (1 of which can be passed through a hole 4 in the side of the box and into a horizontal tube 8, the said tube having upright branches s s, passing through the top of the frame a underneath the ozonizer.

The various electrical connections can be made in any suitable manner, and the diagrammatic view, Fig. 4, shows an arrangement which have found suitable. In this arrangement the battery k-supplies current to the induction-coil lthrough the wire 6, pri mary coil t. wire t key a, wire i key j, and

wire i. The induced current supplying the l vided with a horizontal partition, forming a chamber above and a chamber below said parozonizer e flows from the secondary coil it through the wire it and terminals 0 o to the metallic conductor surrounding the ozonizer, the current then passing to the central condoctor of the ozonizer through the terminal 0 and back through the wire it to the induction-coil Z. The battery It also supplies current to the coil m through the wire t, wire v, primary coil 1;, wire 0 key 2', and key j. The current generated in the secondary coil flows through the wire to the screw 9 through the body of the user back to the screw g and wire w. By connecting the terminals of the handles tothe screws 9 and g the battery can be used direct. The lamp is supplied directly with current from the battery it through the wires a; and m.

If it be desired to use the ozonizer with a stronger current from a larger battery and coil, a transformer, or a main alternating-current supply, the pin 0 is removed from the terminal screws 0 and 0 the said terminals 0 and 0 being then connected with the secondary poles of the larger coil or other source of current;

Having now particularly described and astition, of an electric battery located in the lower chamber, an ozonizer located in the upper chamber, means for electrically connecting said ozonizer and battery including a circuit-controller, a discharge-mouthpiece,com-

municating with said upper chamber, an airforcing'device connected to said upper chamher, and a movable cover for said box to give access to said upper chamber, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a portablebox, having a horizontal partition therein forming a battery-chamber below said partition,of an electric battery located in said chamber, a hollow cover hinged to said box and forming an ozonizing-chambcr above said partition, when closed, an ozonizer mounted on said partition, an electric circuit-controller mounted on said partition and connected with the ozonizer and with the battery, a dischargemouthpiece securedto said cover and communicating with the interior thereof and an air forcing device communicating with the ozonizingfchamber adjacent to the ozonizer, substantially as described.
