Complete Specification Left, 4th May, 1897-Accepted, 19th June, 1897
I, GEORGE THORNE, of 13 Mostyn Crescent, Llandudno, Denbighshire, North
Wales, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to eye baths or receptacles in which lotion or like fluid is
placed for the purpose of bathing the eye when under treatment for any optical
complaint.
The object of this invention is to combine said eye bath with the bottle in which
the lotion is contained, in such a manner that the bath may be always at hand
when the lotion is required to be used.
I effect this object by constructing the stem of the eye bath in the form of a.
bottle stopper and ground so as to fit into the neck of the bottle containing the
lotion in the manner of an ordinary glass bottle stopper.
The upper portion, or that part of the eye bath in which the lotion is placed
when bathing the eye, may be of the ordinary or other preferred form.
By these meane when the eye bath is not in use, the bottle containing the lotion
is stoppered by the stem of the eye bath, and both the lotion and the eye bath are
always in the same place at the time they are required to be used.
In a modification of my invention I form or fit into the interior of the eye bath
and projecting upwards in the centre of said bath a ground nipple or stopper of a
less depth than the bath so as not to approach near the eye when the bath is being
used.
When the bath is not in use it is inverted, the upper or open portion of said bath
is placed over the bottle neck and the bottle is stoppered by the aforesaid internally
projecting pipple or stopper.
