We, ASHLEY ORMSBY PAUL GORDON, and ERNEST SPENCER-MASON, both of
38 Old Bond Street, London, W. Surveyors and Valuers do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved medical appliance, and consists in the com-
bination of a squeezable receptacle, adapted to contain a medicant or ointment and
a nozzle detachably attachod thereto, to form a convenient appliance for the
administration of an injection of a plastic medicant or ointment as in the case
of an enema.
To carry out our invention we provide an ordinary squeezable tube of tin, lead,
or other suitable Hexible material, which may be sold to the public containing
a convenient quantity of any suitable medicant, especially such as is plastic or pasty
in its character, as an ointment, and can only be ejected from the tube by a collapse
of the said flexible tube by hand pressure.
It is obvious that such a pasty or plastic medicant cannot be used for injection as
an enema in the ordinary liquid pumping enema appliances.
To the top of the flexible tube we apply a screwed cap to retain the contents,
fitting over a screwed projecting nipple.
To complete the appliance for injection purposes, we provide a dotached nozzle of
bone, ivory, vulcanite, or other suitable material, adapted at its base with a female
thread to screw on to the screwed nipple of the squeezable tube, when the cap has
been removed.
The medicant from the squeezable tube may then be injected into the required
place with case.
When the nozzle is removed and the cap screwed on, both parts are in small
compass, and convenient for packing and transport.
Either the tube or the nozzle can be sold separately, so that further supplies of
tubes containing medicant or ointment can be bought for use with an old nozzle,
when the supply of medicant is exhausted.

An Improved Medical Injection Appliance.
We, ASHLEY ORMSBY PAUL GORDON, and ERNEST SPENCER-MASON, both of
38 Old Bond Street, London, W., Surveyors and Valuers, 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 hy the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved medical appliance and consists in the com-
bination of a squeezable receptacle adapted to contain a medicant or ointment and
Pil

page_text: a nozzle detachably attached thereto, to form a convenient appliance for the alminis-
tration of an injection of a plastic medicant or ointment as in the case of an
enema.
And in order that our invention may be the better understood, we now proceed
to describe the same, reference being had to the drawings hereto annexed and to
the letters and figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is an outside view of our container tube with scrowed cap thereon.
Fig. 2 is a detail, showing the screwed nozzle of the container and the cap (in
section) removed.
Fig. 3 is a view of our container with a straight injection tube attached thereto.
Fig. 4 is an alternative form of curved injection tube.
To carry our invention into effect we provide an ordinary and squeezable tube A
of lead, tin, or other flexible material which may be sold to the public with screwed
cap B containing a convenient quantity of any suitable medicant, especially such as
is plastic or pasty in its character, such as an ointment and only to be ejected from
the tube A by a collapse of the said flexible tube under hand pressure.
It is obvious that such a plastic or pasty medicant cannot be used for injection as
an enema in the ordinary liquid enema pumping appliances.
To the top of the flexible tube we apply a screwed cap B to retain the contents
fitting over a screwed projecting nipple (
To complete the appliance for injection purposes, we provide a detached and
detachable nozzle D of bone, ivory, vulcanite, or other suitable material, provided
with a clear straight through aperture E, adapted to eject plastic or pasty material.
We provide at the base of the nozzle D a female thread F adapted to screw tightly
on to the screwed nipple when the cap B has been removed.
The medicant from the squeezable tube A may then be injected into the required
place.
When the nozzle D is removed and the cap B screwed on both parts are in small
compass and convenient for packing and transport.
Either the tube A or the nozzle D can be sold separately, so that further supplies
of tubes containing medicant or ointment can be bought for use with an old nozzle
when the supply of medicant is exhausted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
In combination a squeezable or flexible tube with male screwed nipple and
screwed cap, adapted to hold and eject a plastic medicant or ointment and a straight
or curved nozzle with clear straight through aperture having a female screwed
socket adapted to suit the nipple of said tube, and to permit ejection to required
part of a plastic medicant or ointment substantially as described.
