A NEW OR IMPROVED INHALATION-APPARATUS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, RICHARD GARBETT, of 4, Forster Street, Walsall, Staffordshire, Wine
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "A NEW OR
IMPROVED INHALATION-APPARATUS" to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to a new or improved inhalation-apparatus the object
being to provide an inhalation-apparatus which shall be simple in construction
and more continuous in its effects than those now in use. My improved inhalation-
apparatus is particularly adapted for use in administering an inhalation to calves
suffering from "Hoose" or "Husk" but it can also be used for other animals and
for humankind.
It consists essentially of a box preferably of thin. metal and of a cylindrical
shape closed at the bottom and open at the top. Near the top and sometimes
in the bottom I provide a series of holes for admission of air and at the side is
a door giving access to the interior and provided with a suitable fastening. I fix.
to the box a suitable handle. At the bottom of the box I provide a cup or recessi
for holding the preparation for producing the inhalation. Within the said cup or
recess is a piece of metal which can be readily removed and after being heated can
be replaced.
The preparation for producing the inhalation is placed upon the heated metal
within the cup and, the door having been closed, the fumes arising escape at the
top of the box.
To the top of the box I connect a flexible sleeve or pipe made preferably
of mackintosh, or I use any other suitable approximately air-tight or air tight
material. The upper end of the sleeve or pipe is placed around the nostrils and
mouth when in use.
Instead of using a cup or recess and a piece of heated metal as, and for the
purpose above described, I sometimes divide the box horizontally into two
compartments; in the lower one I place a heating lamp and in the upper one.
I place the preparation for producing the inhalation.
When using my inhalation-apparatus for calves and other animals I usually
make the said sleeve or pipe about three feet long and I provide in the side
at about the middle a slit or opening wide enough to admit a man's arm. This
enables the person administering the inhalation to hold the animal's nose in the
sleeve or pipe.

I, RICHARD GARBETT, of 4, Forster Street, Walsall, Staffordshire, Wino
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "A NEW OR
IMPROVED INHALATION-APPARATUS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My Invention relates to a new or improved inhalation-apparatus the object
being to provide an inhalation-apparatus which shall be simple in construction
and more continuous in its effects than those now in use. My improved inhalation-
apparatus is particularly adapted for use in administering an inhalation to calves
Buffering from "Hoose or "Husk บ but it can also be used for other animals and
for human kind.
"
It consists essentially of a box preferably of thin metal and of a cylindrical shape
closed at the bottom and open at the top. Near the top and sometimes in the
bottom I provide a series of holes for admission of air and at the side is a
door giving access to the interior and provided with a suitable fastening. I fix
to the box a suitable handle. At the bottom of the box I provide a cup or recess
for holding the preparation for producing the inhalation. Within the said cup or
recess is a piece of metal which can be readily removed and after being heated can
be replaced.
The preparation for producing the inhalation is placed upon the heated metal
within the cup and, the door having been closed, the fumes arising escape at the
top of the box.
To the top of the box I connect a flexible sleeve or pipe made preferably
of mackintosh, or I use any other suitable approximately air-tight or air-tight
material. The upper end of the sleeve or pipe is placed around the nostrils and
mouth when in use.
Instead of using
a cup or recess and a piece of heated metal as and for
the purpose above described I sometimes divide the box horizontally into two
compartments; in the lower one I place a heating lamp and in the upper one
I place the preparation for producing the inhalation.
When using my inhalation-apparatus for calves and other animals I usually
make the said sleeve or pipe about three feet long and I provide in the side
at about the middle a slit or opening wide enough to admit a man's arm. This
enables the person administering the inhalation to hold the animal's nose in the
sleeve or pipe.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings the
manner in which my Invention is to be performed; the same letters of reference on
the drawings indicate corresponding parts in all the corresponding Figures.
Figure 1 is a view of the box part of an inhalation-apparatus made according to
my Invention; Figure is a modification of the same; Figure 3 represents the
metal heater for the same; Figure 4 is a sectional elevation of the box part of an
inhalation-apparatus made according to my Invention and provided with a lamp
and divided into two compartments and Figure 5 is a general view of the same;
Figure 6 represents the top compartment removed from the box; Figure 7
represents the inhalation box shewn in Figure 1 with a flexible sleeve or pipe
for administering an inhalation to a calf or other animal and Figure 8 is part
of the sleeve or pipe connected to the cover of the fume box shewn in Figures 2, 4
and 5; Figure 9 represents the inhalation box with a moveable metal vapour pipe ;

page_text: Figure 10 is a part sectional elevation of an inhalation box; Figure 11 shews the
vapour pipe in detail, partly in section, and Figure 12 is a plan of the top of the
said box, the pipe having been removed; Figures 13, 14 and 15 shew a modified
form of the said inhalation box with a metal vapour pipo and Figure 16 shews a
bell-shaped metal vapour pipe for use for horses, cows and other large animals.
A is the inhalation box made preferably of thin metal and of cylindrical shape
closed at the bottom a¹ and open at the top a². a³ are holes for the admission of
air. At the side is a hinged door B giving access to the interior and provided with
a fastening b. C is a bandle attached to the box. At the bottom a¹ I provide a
cup or recess a and within the cup or recess is a piece of metal D (shewn in detail
in Figure 3). E (see Figure 7 and 8) is a flexible sleeve made preferably of
mackintosh or light canvas or other suitable material attached to the box A by a
inetal ring or by any other suitable method and having an elastic mouth and an
india-rubber or other cord or strap c¹ for securing to the animal's head when
administering an inhalation. In the side is a slit or opening e² having an elastic
gussett e³ so as to admit a man's hand to hold the animal's nose. Instead of using
a flexible sleeve or pipe as above described I sometimes use, for horses, cows and
other large animals, a bell-shaped metal vapour pipe P as shewn in Figure 16
which can be partially filled with hay through which the vapour is inhaled as it
rises from the box A. I sometimes make the top part of the box A to open
by being hinged at a³ and provide it with a catch or fastener f' and a short
pipe f, as shewn in Figures 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 12, and then when a flexible sleeve
is used it is attached as shewn in Figure 8.
The preparation for producing the inhalation is placed upon the heated metal D
within the cup or recess at and the door having been closed the fumes arising
escape at the top of the box and by the sleeve E to the animal's mouth or nostrils.
Instead of using a cup or recess a' and a piece of heated metal D, as and for the
purpose above described, I sometimes divide the box A horizontally into two
compartments, as shewn in Figures 4, 5, 10 and 13, in the lower one I place a
heating lamp G and in the upper one H I place the preparation for producing the
inhalation. I provide on the cover F, a ring f³, which when the said cover
is closed, as shewn in Figures 4 and 10, fits in the top compartment A and prevents
any fumes from the lamp entering therein. I use a metal pipe I, having a mouth-
piece, which may be made in two or more pieces if desired, with the box A and
attach it either to the top F, as shewn in Figures 9, 10 and 11, or directly to the
said box A, as shown in Figures 13, 14 and 15, or instead of using a metal pipe an
india-rubber or other suitable pipe may be used. I sometimes provide a piece of
wire gauze f' in the lid or cover F so that medicated wool w or other suitable
substance can be used so as to medicate the vapours arising from the box H which
may then contain water.
I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise details as
herein described and illustrated as tho same may be varied without departing from
the nature of my Invention.
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. The new or improved inhalation-apparatus herein before described with
reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3 of my drawings, that is to say, the box A
having a door B and a heating piece D and with or without the loose top F
