At a
An apparatus to enable a person to judge a perfume expeditiously and economically.
It consists of a tube (1 call A B) of glass, metal or other suitable material, of about
6 inches in length (from A to B) and of a bore of about inch in diameter.
point (I call C), about midway between A B, I join a second tube (I call D C) of
about 2 inches long & of same bore as A B opening into A B and making an
angle A C D of about 30 degrees with A B. Into the tube DCI insert a piece of
cotton wick so that one end of the wick pass into the tube A B to about one inch
beyond C and the other end protrude from DC; the apparatus is now complete.
To use it the end of the tube DC is inserted through a perforated cork into a
bottle containing a liquid scent, so that the free end of the wick fall into the liquid;
the whole of the wick becomes charged with the perfume. I now cause a current of
air to pass through the tube A B from A to B by means of an india rubber ball
attached to A or otherwise. It is plain that the air on passing from A to B passes
over a portion of the wick & becomes scented and that the nature of the scent can
be judged by applying the nose at B.
I can leave the end B of the tube A B plain or ornament it or expand it into a
hollow cone to hold artificial or other flowers.
I can also provide a stonner to close the end B of A B.
