WILLIAM RICHARD BRAY (Hide and Skin Salesman) Manor House Kingswood
Surrey ALFRED STEVENS Chemist and JOHN SAMUEL STEVENS Surgeon Dentist
67 High Street Borough Southwark London, S.E. do hereby declare the nature of
our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN SPRAY AND SYRINGE DIFFUSERS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
An ordinary Cork or Stopper of any vessel to contain liquid is pierced to admit
two tubes of metal glass, bone, or other suitable materials The lower end of the
one tube terminates flush or nearly so with lower surface of the Cork or Stopper,
the upper end is formed to admit air either from the mouth, or air or liquid by
pressure from an elastic ball and receiver or by any suitable mechanical means.
The lower end of the other tube is carried some distance from the lower surface of
the Cork or Stopper with or without sufficient elastic tubing weighted at the
suction end to reach the lowest level of the liquid in the vessel; the upper.end is
formed to allow of the attachment of a spray diffuser having a detachable face plate
pierced with holes of suitable dimensions or of a syringe, or rectum pipe or vagina
pipe. The whole apparatus to be fitted with stopcocks, vents, or valves as
required.
MANNER OF USING.
The Cork or Stopper with the apparatus affixed is placed in the orifice of a bottle
or other suitable vessel, containing the liquid required for use, and immediately
upon the air or liquid being forced through the one tube into the vessel, a pressure
is created on the liquid which at once rises through the other tube, passes thence as
a spray or in a jet accordingly as the spray diffuser or syringe is attached.
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
1 The piercing of the Cork or Stopper by two tubes thus causing the application
of a Continuous Air Pressure creating a regular and well controlled spray or jet
instead of the intermittant systems now in use.
2 That this Invention gives a much more portable, convenient, and well controlled
means of diffusing spray or of syringing horizontally, perpendicularly, or in any
desired position for sanitary, horticultural, or surgical purposes, than any hitherto
used, perfect purity being ensured through no breath being mingled with the
liquid.
3 Ready adaptability to a great variety of purposes, owing to the power of
affixing any form of spray diffuser or syringe required.
