PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combination Hot Water Bottle, Water Cushion, Syringe, and
Spray Producer.
I, PERCY RICHARD JULIUS WILLIS, of 55 Chancery Lane, in the County of
London, Engineer, (a communication to me from abroad by Joseph La Londe,
of 91 Inspector Street, Montreal, Canada, Inventor,) do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved combined hot water bottle or cushion, and
syringe; but which can also be used as a shower bath or floor sprinkler.
The invention comprises a preferably disc-shaped rubber bag or water receptacle
fitted with a screw-stopper. A hard rubber, vulcanite or other nozzle projects
from the side of the receptacle and can be fitted with a removable soft rubber cap.
In order to effect an injection, the person using the syringe sits over the nozzle ;
the cap being previously removed.
The weight of the person sitting on the receptacle ejects the water therefrom in
a continuous flow.
When the syringe is to be used for other purposes, the aforementioned nozzle
is unscrewed, removed and replaced by one end of a flexible tube; the other
end being fitted with a nozzle having preferably fluted sides to permit the outflow
of the water being injected. The receptacle is preferably fitted with a loop so
that when the tube is used, the receptacle can be hung against the wall as high
as possible to ensure a forcible flow of water.
When desired, the nozzle may be replaced by a rose which may be used as a
shower bath, or as a floor sprinkler. When greater force is required the receptacle
can be squeezed under the arm of the person using it.

A Combination Hot Water Bottle, Water Cushion, Syringe, and
Spray Producer.
I, PERCY RICHARD JULIUS WILLIS of 55 Chancery Lane, in the County of
London, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication
to me from abroad by Joseph La Londe of 91 Inspector Street, Montreal,
Canada, Inventor) and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to provide an article principally for medical, but
which can also be used for other purposes.
Reference being had to the drawings hereunto annexed, Fig. 1 is an elevation,
Fig. 2 a diametrical section, and Figs. 3, 4 and 5 details of the invention.
The invention comprises a rubber or other flexible receptacle A formed with an
opening B, in which is secured a metal screw-threaded ring C. A screw stopper D
is adapted to fit the ring C and close the opening B. The stopper may be attached
PQ77

page_text: to the receptacle A by a cord E. An aperture fitted with an outwardly screw-
threaded and perforated projection F, is made in the centre of the receptacle A.
The projection F provides means for attachment thereto of the internally screw-
threaded parts G of the tube H and the appliances I, J, and cap L. The tube H
is fitted with a removable nozzle M, and means for regulating the flow of liquid
therethrough, said means consisting of a bent piece of metal N having opposite
apertures O, in which fits a piece of metal P secured at right angles to a stem Q
having a head R. By depressing the head R until the piece of metal P enters
under the shoulder S the tube is squezed and the flow of water arrested. A cord T,
retains a piece of rubber tube, closed at one end, which may be used to retain
the nozzle J. Loops V and W provide means for carrying or suspending the
receptacle A.
When used as an enema the receptacle is filled with fluid and the stopper D is
screwed down tightly. The cap L is removed from the projection F and is replaced
by the nozzle J with the cap U upon it. When ready, the cap U is removed and
the operator then sits over the nozzle J until his weight has injected the contents
of receptacle A. When suspended from a hook by the loop W the contents of
receptacle A pass through the tube H to the required place. The tube may be
fitted with either of the nozzles I, J, M or with an ordinary rose, which permits the
apparatus to be used as a spray producer for use in the bath. When used as a
hot water bottle, the tube H is removed and replaced by the cap L.
Having now particularly described and, ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what. I
claim is.
The herein before described hot water bottle, water cushion, syringe, and spray
producer, all substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth and
illustrated.
Dated this 12th day of August 1895.
PERCY R. J. WILLIS.
