Calls for two (or more!) balloons, the lower one(s) ring-shaped to allow for a connection to the upper

  • Inventor location: Paris, France (current); St Petersburg, Russia (home)
  • The witnesses are identified on the patent as clerks at Mennons & Co., Patent solicitors in Paris. Apraxine presumably had a business relation with them, and possibly they helped file this patent. Below I mark Mennons & Co. as the patent agent, making that inference here so we can use this relation to learn more about Mennons & Co.
