Improvements in Apparatus for Supplying Disinfectants, Perfumes,.
and other Fragrant Matters to the Waters of Shower Baths,
Water Closets, and analogous apparatus.
I, IVAN PAVLOVITCH, Charge d'Affaires of the Embassy of the King of Servia,
at Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, 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 the present invention is to supply disinfectants, perfumes and other
fragrant matters to the waters of shower baths, water closets and analogous
apparatus in a finely divided state and so that they may be uniformly distributed
in such waters.
According to this invention there is interposed between the cistern and the
shower bath or water closet an apparatus consisting of an upper and lower vessel'
connected together by a contracted neck. The pipe from the cistern leads into the
top of the upper vessel, while the pipe which conveys the perfumed water to the
shower bath or water closet leads out of the lower portion of the lower vessel.
The disinfectant liquid or perfume is introduced into the water coming from the
cistern through a small pipe formed upon the contracted neck between the two
vessels, there being an india rubber tube or other connection between such pipe and
the vessel containing the perfume or other liquid. In the annexed drawing the
upper and lower vessels are designated C D E F and G H I K respectively.
The pipe which connects the upper vessel with the cistern is lettered A, whilst
the pipe which connects the apparatus with the shower bath or water closet is
designated B.
In order to obtain a thorough saturation of the shower bath or flushing water.
with the disinfectant liquid or perfume, the relative proportion of the sectional area
of the upper vessel towards that of the lower vessel as 8 is to 5, whilst the
relative proportion of the sectional area of the pipe A towards that of the pipe B
is as 1 is to 1.
In operation the cistern water flows from the upper vessel through the contracted
neck, and in passing the orifice of the supply pipe, draws in a quantity of the
perfume, which mixes with it. As the water emerges from the contracted neck.
and expands into the lower chamber, the mixture of the perfume with it becomes
complete, and the perfumed water is then conducted to the shower bath or other
outlet.
The apparatus may be formed of glass, earthenware, or metal, as desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Apparatus for supplying disinfectants, perfumes, or other fragrant matters to
shower baths, water closets and the like, consisting of two vessels connected
together by a contracted neck into which is led a perfume or disinfectant supply
pipe, such apparatus being disposed between the cistern and the shower bath,
water closet, or the like, and combined and adapted to operate substantially as
herein set forth.
