Improvements in Blowers to be employed for Fumigating and for
Disinfectant Purposes.
I, JOHN GOODE of Colwall Stone, near Malvern in the County of Worcester,
Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to "Improvements in blowers to be employed for fumigating,
and for disinfectant purposes."
I will describe my invention thus employ a tubular metallic body of a
required size, and of a suitable shape or configuration in cross section, one end
which I term the back, is stopped, with the exception of an aperture to be after-
wards described, this said tubular body is fitted with a second body, corresponding
thereto, which slides into and is provided with a tapered outlet pipe, secured to the
stopped end, this second body has a lining partaking of the same form and a
perforated end thereto, adjoining the end where the outlet pipe is connected. The
extreme end of this tubular body has a case or box of an oblong figure and
adjoining thereto a circular case on box, both of a required size, the circular case
is fitted with a fan of the ordinary kind working upon a pin or centre, and is geared
on in connection with a train of wheels and a coiled spring which is wound up in
the ordinary way and motion imparted to the fan, the wheels and spring are fixed
in the oblong box. When wound up by a key preferably from the outside, and
motion given to the fan, the current of air drawn in through an aperture at the one
side of the circular box is repelled by an outlet aperture into the inner case and
through the perforated plate at one end disturbing the fumigating substance (which
has been lighted previous to putting it in) and driving the smoke through the
second perforated plate and down the tapered outlet pipe into the place to be
fumigated.
For disinfectant purposes and when finely powdered mixtures are used, I employ
a metallic body of a required shape, with a cap or lid for charging the same, the
one end is fitted with the box for wheels and the box for fan as above described,
the other end receives a tapered outlet pipe but with the mouth flattened. When
motion is given to the fan as above set forth, the current of air agitates the powder
and it is driven down the outlet pipe into the place to be disinfected, we may use
the perforated plates in some cases. In either case by preference I fix the handle
for same at the end farthest from the outlet pipe.
And in order that this my said invention may be more clearly understood I will
now proceed to describe the same, reference being made to the sheet of drawings,
to the figures, and letters marked thereon (that is to say)
Fig. 1. is a left side view elevation of my invention to be employed as a blower
for fumigating.
Fig. 2. is a right side view elevation of same.
Fig. 3. is a view end elevation.

for disinfectant purposes.

The air being drawn in by k. at is passed through c., and perforated plate !,
the inner case or lining g. in which is placed the burning fumigating substance, and
through perforated plate h, and the pipe e, the course being indicated by arrows.
In Figs. 4 and 5, a is the cap or lid for refilling, e' is the flattened mouth, the
object is effected as above described.
The above being my said invention I would observe in conclusion that I do not
limit myself to the precise details or arrangement of parts as shewn on the accom-
panying sheet of drawings, but that I hold myself at liberty to alter or modify the
same without departing essentially from my said invention.
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 :-
1st. The construction of a body a, metal by preference, provided with stopped
back b, with aperture c. and with sliding body d with pipe e. together with g.
the lining and perforated plates, the case with fan k. the case i with m.
actuated by n. when wound by o. as illustrated by Figs. 1. 2. 3. or with the cap a¹
and mouth e substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
2nd. The general construction, combination, and arrangement of parts sub-
stantially for the purposes as hereinbefore described in the foregoing Specification
and illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
