French term or phrase: connu en soi
Need an acceptable English rendering of this phrase sprinkled liberally in a patent:

…sur ce bâti est fixé un support 2 s’étendant verticalement et portant un tube d’Ubbelohde de type connue en soi…

...de façon connue en soi, le tube de mesure comprend trois bulbes…

Many thanks!

known
Explanation:
Just so: "...of a known type..."; "...in a known manner..."

This is another of those turns of phase peculiar to patentese -- in this case, shorthand for "...existing in the prior art (that is, in similar inventions that have already been patented and that may have entered the public domain) and familiar to (another catch-phrase coming up) those skilled in the art."

Any patent agent or attorney reading your translation will (ahem) know that you are familiar with the lingo!

Cheers,
HC

Aha! I should have known (connu en soi-même)! I am familiar with these "patented" idiosyncrasies in patents in English, but I was unsure of the French counterparts...you have once again enlightened the benighted! Many thanks!
