PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Water Bags used in connection with Enemas and
for Cooling and Heating Purposes.
I, ELLA HEUSSY, of 39, Claremont Road, Alexandra Park, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Masseuse, do hereby declare the nature of my said inven-
tion to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in bags such as are made of india
rubber or of similar material and used for supplying enemas with hot or cold
water or other fluid or for heating or cooling various parts of the human body,
the object being to provide means which facilitate the filling of the said bag
with fluid whilst placed flat upon its side thereby dispensing with the incon-
venient and dangerous method of holding the bag in the hand and obviating the
near proximity of the handle which in existing water bags must be held back
whilst filling the bag.
To this end my invention consists chiefly in forming the inlet or filling nozzle
at the side of the bag so that when the bag is placed down flat, the said nozzle
projects vertically from the bag instead of being in line therewith as hitherto
has been the case.
This may be carried out in various ways.
According to one way, I form the said inlet or filling nozzle in or about the
middle at the handle end of the bag or I may form the same at one of the respec-
tive corners of the bag, in each case to stand up vertically when the bag is
placed flat on its side.
The outlet nozzle to which the enema tube is attached, or which is provided
with a plug in case the bag is used for cooling or heating purposes only, I form
at one side a little above the bottom of the bag, so as to allow room for sedi-
ment to accumulate, or I may form the said nozzle at the bottom of the bag oppo-
site to the handle, in which case I furnish the said nozzle with a tube projecting
slightly inwards which prevents sediment entering the enema.
According to another form of my invention I may furnish the bag with one
nozzle only arranged at the side near the bottom of the bag to project vertically
when the bag is placed flat on its side which nozzle will serve both as an inlet
and outlet for the fluid.

I, ELLA HEUSSY, late of 39, Claremont Road, now of 148, Meadow Street,
Alexandra Park, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Masseuse, 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 improvements in bags such as are made of india
rubber or of similar material and used for supplying enemas with hot or cold
water or other fluid or for heating or cooling various parts of the human body,
the objects being to provide means which facilitate the filling of the said bag
with fluid whilst placed flat upon its side thereby dispensing with the incon-
venient and dangerous method of holding the bag in the hand and obviating the
near proximity of the handle which, in existing water bags must be held back
whilst filling the bag.
To this end my invention consists chiefly in forming the inlet or filling nozzle
at the side of the bag so that when the bag is placed down flat, the said nozzle
projects vertically from the bag instead of being in line therewith as hitherto
has been the case.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Figs. 1, 3, 4 & 5 are side views, Figs. 2 & 6 edge view respectively of Figs. 1
& 5 of various forms in which my invention may be carried out.
According to one way, see Figs. 1 & 2, I form the said inlet or filling nozzle a
in or about the middle at the handle end of the bag 6 to stand up vertically when
the bag is placed flat on its side.
The outlet nozzle I form at one side a little above the bottom of the bag,
so as to allow room for sediment to accumulate should the fluid contain such or
I may form the said nozzle at the bottom of the bag opposite to the handle, as
shown in Fig. 3.
According to another form of my invention and by preference I furnish the
bag with only one nozzle f, see Figs. 5 & 6. arranged at the side near the bottom
of the bag to project vertically when the bag bis placed flat on its side, which
nozzle will serve both as an inlet and outlet for the fluid.
In each case the said inlet and outlet nozzles are furnished with a plug a¹ & e
respectively and by removing the plug in the outlet nozzle and attaching the
enema tube d the bag can be used as enema and by attaching a vaginal pipe to
the nozzle d' as douche.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed. I declare that what
I claim is:
1st. In water bags for use in connection with enemas and for cooling and
heating purposes, the inlet or filling nozzle formed at the side of the bag, so that
when the bag is placed down flat the said nozzle projects vertically from the
bag, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2nd. A water bag for use in connection with enemas and for cooling and heating

page_text: purposes such as specified in the preceding claim, having a nozzle which serves
both as an inlet and outlet for the fluid, all substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
