the Invention of "IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR SYRINGING BOTTLES."-A
communication from abroad by Ralph Samuol Leo Walsh, of

Sealed the 21st August 1874, and dated the 1st July 1874.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION filed by the said George Haseltine at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition and
Declaration, on the 1st July 1874, pursuant to the 9th Section of
the Patent Law Amendment Act, 1852.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, GEORGE
HASELTINE, of the International Patent Office, Southampton Buildings,
London, Doctor of Laws, send greeting.
WHEREAS I am in possession of an Invention for "IMPROVED Appa-
NATUS FOR SYRINGING BOTTLES," and have petitioned Her Majesty to grant
unto me, my executors, administrators, and assigns, Her Royal Letters
Patent for the same, and have made solemn Declaration that it has

page_text: been communicated to me from abroad by Ralph Samuel Lee Walsh, of
Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, Doctor of
Medicine.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said George Haseltine, do hereby declare
that the following Complete Specification, under my hand and seal, fully 5
describes and ascertains the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, in and by the following state-
ment, reference being had to the accompanying Drawings forming a part
of this Specification :—
.
· The nature of my Invention consists in the combination of a rubber 1
bulb adapted to be applied to the neck of a bottle and provided with a
nozzle or tube, and a valve arranged to operate substantially as herein-
after set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my Invention
appertains to make and use the same I will now proceed to describe its 1
construction and operation, referring to the annexed Drawing, which
represents a vertical section of my Invention applied to the neck of a
bottle.
A represents a rubber bulb of any suitable dimensions provided at its
upper end with a suitable nozzle or tube B. This tube may be con- 20
structed to discharge either a single current, jets, or spray, or there may
be adjustable attachments to discharge the liquid in any form desired. A
suitable distance above the lower end within the bulb A is inserted a
disk O of wood or other suitable material. This disk is slightly concave
or grooved circumferentially and held in the bulb by means of a ring a 2
placed around the exterior of the neck of the bulb and pressing the
same into the groove or concave on the disk. The extreme lower end d
of the bulb is to be drawn over the usual flange 6 on the neck of the
bottle E, thereby holding the bulb and disk on the bottle and forming a
tight joint. There is a central aperture in the disk C, and on the upper 3
side thereof is secured a weighted valve D to close said aperture.
I do not wish to confine myself to this arrangement or method of
attaching the valve to the inside of the bulb, as it is evident that the
valve seat may be modified without in the least departing from the
principle of my Invention; for instance, the bulb may be constructed 8
with an internal flange or collar. In any event however the valve must
open towards the top or centre of the bulb, thus admitting the liquid

page_text: but effectually preventing its escape except through the nozzle when the
bulb is pressed..
By inverting the bottle E the valve D is opened by the pressure of the
fluid, which passes through and fills the bulb. By now returning the
bottle to its proper position the valve D closes, leaving the fluid in the
bulb. By squeezing or pressing the bulb the fluid therein is forced out.
of the nozzle B either in the form of one or more jets or as spray
according to the character of the nozzle used. After use the nozzle B
may be removed and a suitable plug or cap inserted in its place com-
pletely stopping the bulb and bottle, thereby preventing any loss of
fluid remaining in the bulb.or any flow from the bottle.
The advantages of my Invention are as follows:-
1st. That by simply inverting the bottle the syringe will be filled.
2nd. With this syringo the uretha may be filled to its utmost capacity
without withdrawal of the syringe or escape of any fluid previously
thrown in.
3rd. There being no piston to work unevenly there is no risk of:
wounding or irritating the uretha by the nozzle.
Having thus fully described my-Invention what I claim as new and
desire to secure by Letters Patent is the combination of the bulb A
adapted to be applied to the neck of a bottle and provided with a
nozzle B and valve D, said valve being arranged to open inwardly, as
and for the purposes herein set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said Georgo Haseltine, havo hereunto
set my hand and seal, this First day of July, in the year of
our Lord Ono thousand eight hundred and seventy-four.
