and Air Passages.
JOHN FREDERICK BOYES 8 Goldstone Villas Brighton Sussex Surgeon do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED INHALER AND METHOD OF
TREATING DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND AIR PASSAGES to be as follows:-
A bottle or vessel constructed in any shape with two or more air inlets and one
outlet at the top. The top being made air tight around inlets and outlet. The two
or more inlets to be made of glass or other suitable material, the same passing down
nearly to the bottom of bottle or vessel.
The outlet to be of glass or other suitable material, the same passing down a short
distance into bottle or vessel, upon this outlet is attached a piece of india rubber tubing
with stop tap and mouthpiece for inhaling purposes.
The bottle or vessel is charged with the liquid or compound through the air inlet
tubes. When used for inhaling purposes, the air is drawn by suction into the liquid
or compound down through the air inlet tubes, and thence upward through the india
rubber tubing, thus going direct to the lungs.
Dated this 10th day of September 1886.

JOHN FREDERICK BOYES, Registered Medical Practitioner 8, Goldstone Villas West
Brighton Sussex do hereby declare the nature of my invention for TREATING ALL
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND AIR PASSAGES and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The method of adopting the same is as follows
A bottle or vessel constructed in any shape or as shewn in Sheet 1. letters B. with
two or more air inlets as shewn in Sheet 1. letters F. and one outlet, Sheet 1. letters E.
The top being closed perfectly air tight around inlets & outlet by means of a (india
rubber) bung as shewn in Sheet 1. letters A. The two or more air inlets to be made
of glass or other suitable material, one of the same being funnel shaped. The same
air inlets to pass down through (india rubber) bung at top to nearly the bottom of
bottle or vessel, as shewn in Sheet 1. letters F. The outlet to be made of glass or
other suitable material with two shoulders to meet in (india rubber) bung as shewn in
sheet 1. letters G, also shoulder at bottom of outlet Sheet 1. letters I the same outlet
to pass down through (india rubber) bung a short distance into bottle or vessel as
shewn in sheet 1. letters E. upon the same outlet is attached a length of india rubber
tubing as shewn in Sheet 1. letters D. and upon the end of tubing is attached a mouth
piece, made of glass or other suitable material, for inhaling purposes, as shewn in
sheet 1. letters C. also in india rubber tubing is fixed a stop cock for shutting off the
passage of air in tubing when the Inhaler is not in use. The same stop cock consisting
of a lever working upon spring, the same lever raises or lowers a small sliding plate,
which covers or uncovers the end of mouth piece, which is enclosed in tubing, the
sliding plate passes down through tubing. The support of lever & spring is fixed
to mouth piece as shewn in sheet 1. letters J. The bottle or vessel is charged with the
liquid or compound by means of the funnel shaped air inlet tube only, sheet 1. letters F.
When used for inhaling purposes the air by suction is drawn by means of mouth
piece, sheet 1. letters C. and india rubber tubing sheet 1. letters D down air inlet
tubes. Sheet 1. letters F. into liquid or compound in bottle or vessel, Sheet 1.
letters B.
The same bottle or vessel being charged with liquid or compound up to the indicat-
ing mark on bottle or vessel, as shewn in Sheet 1. letters H. The air becoming
charged with the chemicals of liquid or compound, passes up through india rubber
tubing & mouth piece, Sheet 1. letters C. &. D. thence onward direct to the lungs.

page_text: 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. The air tight (India rubber) bung as shewn in sheet 1 letters A.
2. The charging of bottle or vessel, to be done solely by means of the funnel shaped
air inlet tube as shewn in Sheet 1 letters F.
3. The two or more air inlet tubes one to be funnel shaped, as shewn in sheet 1
letters F.
4. The outlet with connecting shoulders for firm fixing, as shewn in sheet 1
letters G & I.
5. The indicating mark upon bottle or vessel used for Inhaler as shewn in sheet 1
letters H.
6. The stop cock used in india rubber tube of the Inhaler as shewn in sheet 1
letter J the stop cock; letter D the india rubber tubing.
The whole being fully set forth and described in the accompanying drawings.
