Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 10,378. Hall, L. B. April 28. Medicines, administering. -Apparatus for making solid carbonic acid by the expansion of the compressed gas is constructed so that the solid formed may be applied directly to the surface to be treated, for example the human skin Compressed carbonic acid enters a hollow tube, cylinder, or drum A, made preferably of compressed fibre or other non-conducting material, through an inlet C fitted with one or more perforated screens, and solidifies upon expansion. The solid is pressed by a plunger into a transparent cone F, not necessarily straightsided, and, during the application to the skin, the pressure is maintained by a spring E. The cone, the cover B provided with vent holes B', and the cap containing the spring are made readily removable, as by the use of bayonet fastenings.
