"IMPROVEMENTS IN VAPORIZERS
"
The improved vaporizer is in the form of a revolver. The fore part of the barrel
serves as recipient of the scented liquid, and in the rear is an india rubber ball,
which is acted on by a short shaft or projection articulated to the upper end of the
trigger, on pulling which latter the projection presses the ball causing it to draw
in and expel the air necessary for distributing the scented liquid in a spray at the
muzzle of the pistol.
The fore part of the barrel is traversed longitudinally with an air conducting
tube in communication with the ball. This part of the pistol also bears a tube for
the conveyance of the liquid from the reservoir below the barrel, the other end of
this tube enters the air chamber at the rear end of the barrel.
The perfumed liquid is introduced inside the barrel to the reservoir through*
an aperture below the barrel, and this opening is closed by a key in form of a
ramrod.
A screw cap covers the muzzle of the pistol to prevent escape of the liquid whilst
carrying the vaporizer in the pocket.

PAUL CHAPELAIN of the city of Paris in the Republic of France, Perfumer:
IMPROVEMENTS IN VAPORIZERS
The apparatus the subject of the present invention is in the form of a revolver.
The handle A. which is or may be made of any suitable material may be of any
desired form and ornamented as taste may dictate. Fig 1 is a longitudinal section.
and Fig 2 an end view of my vaporizer
The barrel chamber B, at the fore part serves as recipient for the scent, and at
the rear an india rubber ball E, is lodged, whose object will be. hereafter mentioned.
The cock C, is the same as that of an ordinary revolver but it may be either fixed
or movable as desired, in the latter case its motion does not differ from that of a
revolver cock, which is actuated by the trigger D, and which latter when the cock
is stationary sets in motion a shaft, to which the trigger is articulated by a pin P,
and forces the shaft k forward when the trigger is drawn, and so presses it against
the india rubber ball E, above named, fixed inside the barrel chamber B. the action
of this shaft on the ball is similar to the pressure exercised in the ordinary
vaporizers, that is to say it serves to draw in the external air, and force it in the
apparatus
n
The fore part F, or barrel, is traversed longitudinally with an air conducting
tube J. receiving the air drawn and expelled by the india rubber ball E, and leads
it to the end of the barrel or muzzle. This part of the gun also bears a tube G, for
the conveyance of the liquid. One end plunges in the scent reservoir M, and the
other enters the air chaniber L. His a valve for the admission and expulsion of
the air as in ordinary vaporizers.
The liquid perfume is introduced inside the barrel through an aperture made
beneath the barrel F, which is closed with a key simulating a ramrod o and
Ecrewing on the chamber B. M is the reservoir of the liquid perfuine. L is the air
chamber at the muzzle end of the barrel F, and in which the end of the tube G
enters as already described.
R, is a screw cap closing the mouth of the pistol to prevent any escape of liquid
in carrying the vaporizer in the pocket.
I claim as my invention the revolver vaporizer comprising the barrel chamber B,
with air ball E, acted on by the shaft k, and trigger D. The air conducting tube J.
in communication with the ball E. The liquid conducting tube G, and reservoir M,
and ramrod stopper o, as and for the purposes hereinbefore inentioned.
In witness whereof I the said Paul Chapelain have hereunto set my hand and
seal this sixth day of April in the Year of Our Lord One thousand eight
hundred and eighty three
