PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Syringe or Aphicide.
I FREDERICK COOPER of 129 Heathfield Road, Handsworth in the County of
Stafford, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
to be as follows:-
This invention consists in so combining a syringe with a container holding
insecticide or other liquid for destroying insects or plants that the syringe is
rendered self-supplying with such liquid to cover say a given quantity of plants,
and thus constitute an improved aphicide.
In performing my invention I employ by preference a syringe fitted with an
improved protector the subject of Letters Patent No. 2643 granted to myself on
the 17th day of June 1881 to prevent the spray running down the hand or arm of
the operator, and to one side of this syringe and by preference near the stuffing
box or jointed end through which the piston or plunger rod passes I form an inlet
valve box communicating with a spherical or other vessel containing the insecticide
or like liquid. This vessel may be formed of metal, glass, india-rubber or other
suitable material and is provided with a suitable neck and screw joint for screwing
upon the valve box connected and from this latter extends a pipe leading to the
bottom of the vessel so as to ensure all liquid being exhausted before refilling.
The syringe being fitted with a fine rose and spray jet.
In using my improved apparatus all that is necessary is to unscrew the vessel,
fill the same with the insecticide liquid and replace it in position. The weight of this
vessel so filled ensures the syringe being held with such vessel hanging downwards
and in this position the contents may be forced outwards through the rose or jet
in the form of fine spray by means of the plunger.
Instead of being rigidly connected the vessel may be loose and separate from the
syringe and connected to the valve box by a hook or swivel.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Syringe or Aphicide.
I, FREDERICK COOPER of 129 Heathfield Road, Handsworth in the County
of Stafford, Commercial Traveller do hereby declare the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists in so combining a syringe with a container holding
insecticide or other liquid for destroying insects on plants that the syringe is
rendered self-supplying with such liquid to cover say a given quantity of plants
and thus constitute an improved aphicide.
On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a side exterior view and Fig. 2 a side sectional view of my improved
syringe or aphicide.
In performing my invention I employ by preference the syringe a fitted with an
improved protector & the subject of Letters Patent No. 2643 granted to me on the
17th day of June 1881 to prevent the spray running down the hand or arm of the
operator. To one side of this syringe a and by preference near the stuffing box
or jointed end through which the piston or plunger rod e passes I form an inlet
D

page_text: valve box d communicating with a spherical or other suitably shaped vessel e which
contains the insecticide or like liquid.
This vessel e may be formed of metal, glass, india-rubber or other suitable
material and is screwed or otherwise connected to the valve box d from which a
pipe extends leading to the bottom of the vessel so as to ensure all the liquid
being withdrawn before refilling.
The vessel is provided with a screw cap to facilitate the refilling of the
same with the insecticide liquid. Instead of the screw cap the vessel itself might
be disconnected from the valve box in order to refill the same.
The syringe may be fitted with a fine rose and jet spray or may be furnished
with an ordinary brine needle and be used for injecting brine into meat the vessel
in which case being formed of glass or tinned copper for holding the brine.
The weight of the vessel so filled ensures of the syringe being held with such
vessel hanging downwards and in this position the contents may be forced outwards
through the rose or jet or other terminal in the form of a fine spray by means of
the plunger. Instead of being rigidly connected the vessel may be loose and
separate from the syringe and connected to the valve box by a hook or swivel.
These improvements are equally applicable to other forms of syringes.
Having thus 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 :-
-
The improved construction of aphicide consisting of a syringe in conjunction
with a spherical or other suitably shaped container connected therewith for con-
taining and supplying insecticide or other liquid under the control of a valve to the
barrel of said syringe substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated on the
accompanying drawing.
