PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Inhalation Bottle.
I, PETER JENSEN of 77 Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex Chartered
Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication to
me from abroad by Otto Siemon of Cottbus in the Empire of Germany, Doctor of
Medicine) to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved inhalation bottle or inhaler intended for
inhaling essential oils and other volatile substances such as creosote, menthole and
the like.
The inhaler consists of a flat bottle narrowed in near its bottom so that two
compartments are formed the lower and smaller of which serves as receptacle
for the medicaments. The mouth or outlet of the bottle is closed by means of
a cork or other suitable plug through which passes a flexible tube having on
its outer end a mouth piece. Besides this there is passing through the said plug
the upper end of a tube provided in the interior of the bottle with a balloon-
like enlargement and entering with its lower end into the said receptacle containing
the medicaments. This tube I call the air inlet tube.
The balloon-like enlargement of this tube prevents the fluid (creosote, menthole
or other medicaments) from being driven out through the said tube, when the
patient or convalescent is coughing, pressing thereby exhaled air through the
flexible tube into the interior of the bottle.
The improved inhalation bottle is now to be used as follows.
After the receptacle that is the lower compartment of the bottle has been
charged with the desired fluid the patient or convalescent puts the mouth piece
into his mouth and inhales with full breath, so that atmospheric air enters through
the other or air inlet tube and thence through the fluid into the interior of the
bottle. By passing through the fluid this air will be saturated with volatile
particles of the said fluid so that a medicated air is formed which is inhaled
through the flexible tube and the mouth-piece into the respiring organs.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Inhalation Bottle.
1, PETER JENSEN of 77 Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Chartered
Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication to
me from Otto Siemon of Cottbus in the Empire of Germany, Doctor of Medicine)
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to an improved inhalation bottle or inhaler intended
for inhaling essential oils and other volatile substances such as creosote, menthol
and the like.
The improved inhaler, by which the inhalation of such volatile substances is
effected, is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a side
elevation of the apparatus and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of a modified mouth-
piece of the latter.
The inhaler consists of a flat bottle narrowed in near its bottom so that two
compartments a and a¹ are formed, the lower and smaller of which serves as

page_text: receptacle for the medicaments.
The mouth or outlet of the bottle is closed by
means of a cork b or other suitable plug through which passes a tube chaving
attached to its outer end a flexible tube d provided with a mouth-piece d¹. Besides
this there is passing through the plug the upper end of a tube e provided in the
interior of the bottle with a balloon-like enlargement e' (as shown in Fig. 1 by
dotted lines) and entering with its lower end into the receptacle a¹ containing the
medicament. This tube is called the air inlet tube.
The balloon-like enlargement e¹ of this tube prevents the fluid (creosote, menthole
or other medicaments) from being driven out through the air inlet tube e when the
patient or convalescent is coughing and thus pressing exhaled air through the
tube d, c into the interior of the bottle. At the same time the enlargement e
arranged above the entrance of the lower receptacle a' serves also as a breakwater,
preventing large particles of the bubbling fluid from entering into the tube c, d.
The improved inhalation bottle is now to be used as follows:-After the
receptacle al that is the lower compartment of the bottle has been charged with
the desired fluid, the patient or convalescent puts the mouth-piece d¹ to his nose
or mouth and inhales with full breath so that atmospheric air enters through the
air inlet tube e and thence through the fluid into the interior of the bottle. By
passing through the fluid the air will be saturated with volatile particles of the
said fluid, so that a medicated air is formed, which is inhaled through the flexible
tube and the mouth-piece d' into the respiring organs. In some cases the
mouth-piece d' may be modified in the manner illustrated by Fig. 2 that is to say,
a ball having the usual stud for not may be arranged in the interior of it and
in such a manner that it acts as a non-return valve when touching an annular
contraction of the mouth-piece. The ball will be brought into this position
by blowing into the latter; during the inhaling process however it is retained by
projections d³ which permit the medicated air to pass by the valve.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:―
The combination of a bottle having a contracted section to form an upper and
a lower compartment with a suction tube c entering the upper compartment and
with an air inlet tube e entering the lower compartment and provided with a
bulge between the contracted section of the bottle and the mouth of the
Buction tube, substantially as described with reference to the annexed drawing.
