Sprink patents are all there. Rumour of "mysteriously missing" was bogus.
They are co-authored by Leon Sprink and his wife Marie-Therese Sprink.

I'll need some time to digest them properly and report (also I must lay my
hands on 2 out-of-print volumes of Ravatin's volumes, where the 1960's
experiments are described).
To put it very briefly, it was 4 metal point-like electrodes, disposed on
the 4 corners of a square box (of non-conducting material - Balsa wood was
often used), polarity opposite across the diagonals (diagonal size 30
centimeters of 1 meter), linked to a DC high tension generator (5000 to
160000 volts, depending on model size and desired effect). Effects were felt
all around the devices (at 10 or 60 m distance) : accelerating industrial
chemical reaction like cement making ("clinkerisation"), saponification
(soap from fats), and metal ores reduction. For the big device with the
weirdest anti-gravific effects, the Sprink created a cumulating effect by
running the device for days (15 days to 2 months) : concentric zones of
influence would slowly unfurl, violet light would be visible along the
diagonals ("like St-Andreas crosses") and the influence would persist for
days after the current was switched off ! Influence is claimed to be
dramatic on all sorts of chemical reactions and also reactions of changing
states of matter, like fusion, dissolution, cristallisation, pectisation,
coagulation... The Sprink reckoned they achieved zones of "space activation"
(adding that this expression was purely an analogy, as "the scientific
nature of the phenomena cannot be precisely and rigorously defined at this
time by the inventors").
