That link should take you to the image in the USPTO's database, and it's worth seeing the illustration of his invention.
It did and it is.

Frank Bough (UK TV presenter)
COD: old

I found Frank Bough an intensely irritating presenter.
His style was to rattle through a clipboard load of questions and not listen to the interviewees' answers.
His interlocutors were never heavyweights who deserved a grilling, and an informal, conversational style of interview should have developed but didn't because he never listened to the damned answers.
That said, RIP.

Until this very minute, I didn't know which one was which.
I don't think I missed anything.

When unclear, Google it...
Quelle = damn near anything including what, spoken of before, not close to the speaker, already known to the speaker and listener, a spring or well, source.
Dommage = shame, pity, damage, harm, injury, damage, mischief.
It's as clear as mud but it covers the ground.

This is a case for Google Translate

But translate from what, apparently those two words show up in several languages , french, German, Spanish, Russian, with vaguely similar meanings, not to mention the Urban dictionary with a language that's just as foreign to me.

Google translate will autodetect the language

That's a pretty good trick when the same words appear in multiple languages.

Google Translate autodetects "quelle dommage" as French ~ I'm just trying to help ~
