LMUYIDIONAL LEICATION,
A New or Improved Inhaling Appliance, and Means of Attaching
same Close to the Nostrils of the User.
1, EDWARD SUMMER MORRIS of 68 Kensington Gardens Square, London, W.,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved device or appliance (for holding
drugs or chemicals or other suitable substances or material for inhalation through
the nostrils) with means of easily attaching same in position close to the nostrils of
the user.
According to this invention - -a small hollow container or vessel (advantageously
in the form of a short tube or cylinder) forms the holder for any suitable drug
or material desired to be inhaled and which may either be in solid or liquid
form and if in the latter then I may provide a sponge or cotton wool or other
suitable absorbent or other material adapted to become soaked or saturated with
such liquid.
This tubular or other suitably shaped holder is stoppered or closed at each end
by an elastic plug or cork or other stopper or it may be a cap or cover or other
suitable means of preventing escape of the contents therethrough but so that access
can be gained to the interior easily at both ends or at one end only for filling or
renewing the contents etc.
Through the side of this holder two (or other suitable number of) holes or
outlets are provided in a suitable position or positions to lead directly into the
nostrils of the user when in position on the latter.
An elastic band (or other suitable band, string or strap-provided with a buckle
or adjustable means of fastening same round the head of the wearer) is secured to
the aforesaid holder or vessel just below said outlets in the side thereof s) that
when the latter is placed close up under the nostrils of the wearer and the said
elastic or other suitable band passed over the head the said vessel will be thus
held up close under the nose of the user and there retained so that the contents
or fumes or vapours therefrom are inhaled through the nostrils of such person.
This appliance will be very advantageous and efficacious for a number of
purposes and uses and being very simple and economical to produce therefore a
very inexpensive article to buy and use.

A New or Improved Inhaling Appliance, and Means of Attaching
same Close to the Nostrils of the User.
I, EDWARD SUMMER MORRIS of 68 Kensington Gardens Square, London, W.
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved device or appliance (for holding

page_text: drugs or chemicals or other suitable substances or material for inhalation through
the nostrils) with means of easily attaching same in position close to the nostrils of
the user.
According to this invention-a small hollow container or vessel (advantageously
in the form of a short tube or cylinder) forms the holder for any suitable drug or
material desired to be inhaled and which may either be in solid or liquid form
and if in the latter then I may provide a sponge or cotton wool or other
suitable absorbent or other material adapted to become soaked or saturated with
such liquid.
This tubular or other suitably shaped holder is stoppered or closed at each end
by an elastic plug or cork or other stopper or it may be a cap or cover or other
suitable means of preventing escape of the contents therethrough but so that access
can be gained to the interior easily at both ends or at one end only for filling or
renewing the contents, etc.
Through the side of this holder two (or other suitable number of) holes or
outlets are provided in a suitable position or positions to lead directly into or under
the nostrils of the user when in position on the latter.
An elastic band (or other suitable band, string or strap-provided or not as
required with a buckle or adjustable means of fastening same round the head of
the wearer) is secured to the aforesaid holder or vessel just below said outlets in
the side thereof so that when the latter is placed close up under the nostrils of the
wearer and the said elastic or other suitable band passed over the head the said
vessel will be thus held up close under the nose of the user and there retained so
that the contents or fumes or vapours therefiom are inhaled through the nostrils
of such person.
My present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which :—
Fig. 1 shows the appliance in position on the wearer, and
Fig. 2 shows on a larger scale-the said appliance and means of attaching
same.
a is a hollow vessel in the form of a tube or short cylinder for containing drugs
or chemicals of any desired character.
bbare two outlets from said holder a.
c is elastic band fixed to eyelets on said holder a or otherwise suitably attached
to the latter.
dd are removable plugs or stoppers for closing the ends of the hollow vessel a
the parts a and d respectively being formed of any suitable material or materials.
This appliance will be very advantageous and efficacious for a number of
purposes and uses and being very simple and economical to produce therefore a
very inexpensive article to buy and use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An inhaling appliance and means for attaching same close to the nostrils of
the user arranged combined and acting substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described.
2. An inhaling appliance consisting of a hollow vessel such as a, apertures such
as 6 therein and a removable stopper or plug such as d at one or both ends thereof
in combination and acting in conjunction with an elastic band such as c attached to
said appliance substantially as and for the purposes herein before described and
illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.
