Office of the Commissiouers of Patents on the 4th August 1882.
EDWARD JOHN COLSTON FEAR of Hampton Park Redland near Bristol in the
County of Somerset Gentleman "NEW OR IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR USE FOR
OF VAPORIZING
PURPOSES
REFRIGERATING OR HEATING AND APPLICATION OF
HEATED REFRIGERATED SCENTED OR MEDICATED VAPOURS OR SPRAYS
"
This invention relates to certain new or improved apparatus for use for purposes
of vaporizing refrigerating or heating and application of heated refrigerated
scented or medicated vapours the primary object being to employ the fan operating
mechanism described under the specification of Letters Patent N° 2452 dated 3rd
June A D 1881 granted to me, or to employ for the production of the initial blast
of air, bellows, turbine screws, rotary fans or pump device; Of the motors for
operating these appliances the spring device specified in the aforesaid Specification
of Letters Patent may be employed or I employ an electric motor at once for
driving the said Patented fan mechanism and the bellows blast or for driving the
turbine screw in that case, or the rotary fan spindle or the bellows apparatus or
pump in those cases
In operating the bellows for the initial blast as set forth in the aforesaid
specification a connection is applied to the operating shaft of the fan and an
additional speed gearing is introduced and connected by a link to one of the cheeks
of a double bellows the cheeks whereof are connected by a pivoted lever so as to
operate the bellows alternately and thereby to keep up a continual blast through a
supplementary bellows fitted with a closing spring formed as an air chamber from
which there is a tube leading out.
The valves of the alternately operating hellows are fitted to a tube or chamber
connected by tube or connection to the vapour refrigerating heating scent or
medicament chest or cells.
The chest which I employ is divided into two or more compartments for
reception of cisterns or holders of ice or iced or heated or other liquids and these
cisterns or holders are provided with brackets for support of heating lamps or
stoves when heat has to be employed but otherwise for refrigerating they are to
contain ice or liquid medium.

page_text: These said refrigerating cisterns are furnished with a false perforated bottom or
tray and draw off tap for liquid, and inside of the cisterns are rods or other support
is provided for hanging into the refrigerating or heating medium; cells for
containing the ingredients for diffussion constructed as follows:-
These vaporizing cells are divided by a division plate into two compartments
and are supplied with inlet and outlet tubular union pieces the outlet one leading
down into one division and the inlet just sufficiently leading into the other division.
For obtaining volatilization of substances such as sulphur a similar cell is
employed and in such position that heat may be applied directly thereto and the
conducting tubes of the initial blast and also of the vaporized blast are applied to
the respective nozzles of the divisions of the cells.
The chests which receive the refrigerating and heating cisterns and their
vaporizing cells have fixed in the sides thereof union or nozzle pieces for connecting
tubes from inside and outside respectively for primarily the initial blast which has
to be vaporized, scented medicated refrigerated or heated and secondly for the
discharge of the vapours so prepared to the places and for the purposes required.
These outer tubes are connected by lengths of tube from the union pieces in
the sides of the chests to the tubular nozzles of the vaporizing inlet and outlet
respectively.
For applying these vapours locally or specially to the body of a patient a bag or
case is employed or a chamber be used provided with inlet and outlet connectors
for the inlet and outlet tubes of the cells. Thus there may be employed
continuously or alternately heated and refrigerated baths of vapour of medicated
character or otherwise as may be desirable.
