PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Syringe.
I, PERCIVAL EVERITT, of 47, Cannon Street, in the city of London, and 293
and 295, Broadway, New York, United States of America, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved form of syringe whereby all kinds of dis-
infecting fluid powders, perfumes or other matter can be used in the same manner as
from a syringe, or in any case where injection is required, such as crevices, holes, etc.,
where it is desired to inject insect powder or vermin exterminating matter, or in any
case where a syringe or squirt is applicable.
When desired to be used medicinally or for surgical purposes the elongation can be
modified or increased to suit requirements and the orifices may be made both in size
and number so as to most suitably convey the fluid or other matter to the parts to be
treated.
It consists of a collapsible vessel or tube made of any suitable material such as is
used for capsules or metallic paint tubes, the nozzle or orifice of which is elongated so
as to form a syringe. The nozzle may also be perforated so as to eject the liquid or
other matter in a spray. This elongation is protected and covered by a cap which
preferably screws onto the neck of the tube or vessel and at the same time closes up
the opening or openings in the end of the syringe thus making the vessel air
tight.
When the syringe is required to be used the cap is unscrewed and this unseals the
orifices in the end of the syringe which can then bo put into operation by squeezing
the collapsible part of the vessel in the hand and thus forcing out the fluid or other
matter.

COMPLETE
SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Syringe.
I, PERCIVAL EVERITT, of 47, Cannon Street, in the city of London, and 293
and 295, Broadway, New York, United States of America, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to bo
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention relates to an improved syringe which can be used for injecting insect
powder or vermin exterminating matter into crevices, holes or other places; for
spraying or diffusing disinfecting fluids or perfumes and for any other purpose where
a syringe or squirt is applicable.
The improved syringe consists of a collapsible vessel or tube made of any suitable
material, (for instance, such as is used for capsules or metallic paint-tubes) provided
with a long nozzle having a single orifice, or several perforations so as to eject the
liquid or other matter in the form of spray. This long nozzle is protected and covered
by a cap which preferably screws onto the neck of the tube or vessel and at the
same time closes up the orifice or perforations in the end of the nozzle, thus making
the vessel or tube air tight.
To enable my invention to be thoroughly understood, reference is made to the
accompanying drawing in which,
Figure 1 is an elevation, partly in section, of one form of my improved syringe.

page_text: Figure 2 is an elevation of the same in a position at right angles to that shown
in Figure 1.
Figures 3 and 4 are views similar to Figures 1 and 2 respectively of another form
of syringe.
Similar letters in all the figures indicate similar parts.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, A is the collapsible tube or vessel of any desired
material, to which is attached the long nozzle having the orifice a. The nozzle B
is screw-threaded at its base, as shown at C, and to this is fitted the cap D. By
screwing on the cap D the top thereof, which is preferably provided with a piece of
india rubber, cork or other suitable material such as is shewn at e, comes in contact
with the end of the nozzle B, thereby making an air tight joint.
In figures 3 and 4 the syringe is represented with a nozzle B which is longer
than and of different shape to that shewn in Figures 1 and 2; in the end of the
nozzle B are a number of orifices a, a which are closed in the same manner as has
been described with reference to Figure 1.
In order to make use of my improved syringes it is only necessary to remove the
cap D when the orifice or orifices a will be unsealed and the syringe will be ready
for use.
The collapsible tube A can then be pressed in the hand and the liquid or
other matter forced out through the nozzle B and injected wherever required.
When it is desired to use the syringe for medicinal or surgical purposes the nozzle
can be modified or increased in length to suit requirements, and the orifices may be
made both in size and number so as to most suitably convey the fluid or other
matter to the parts to be treated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
(1.) A syringe consisting of a collapsible vessel provided with a long nozzle, the
orifice of which is closed by a suitable cap, substantially as set forth.
(2.) The manufacture and use of the improved syringes hereinbefore described with
reference to the accompanying drawing.
