COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Reservoir or Fountain Syringe, Enema and Hot Water
Bag.
I, EDMUND WILLIAM HALL, of 170, Armagh Street, Christchurch, Canter-
bury, in the Colony of New Zealand, Herbalist, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-
This invention relates to a combined reservoir or fountain syringe, enema
and hot-water bag; the object being to obviate the necessity of a separate appli-
ance for each purpose.
My invention consists of a bag of suitable flexible material provided with
means for suspending it, a handle and also a suitable screw nozzle to which is
connected a suitable flexible tube provided with suitable bulb; the end of said
tube being adapted to receive a suitable detachable tap to which nipples of
various forms may be attached according to requirements.
By detaching this tube the bag may be used as an ordinary hot-water bag
after being supplied with hot water and the screw nozzle closed by means of a
suitable screw cap or plug.
My invention will be more particularly described with reference to the accom-
panying drawings wherein :-
Fig. 1 shows the combined reservoir or fountain syringe and enema complete
(the neck of the bag being shown in section.
Fig. 2 shows the bag with the flexible tube removed, so as to be used as a
hot-water bag.
Figs. 3 and 4 show two forms of nipples for attaching to the tap.
Fig. 5 shows a screw cap or plug for closing the nozzle at neck of bag.
A is the bag of suitable flexible material to contain the liquid to be used,
provided with a handle (a) loop (b) for suspending said bag when used as a
syringe or enema, a screw nozzle (c) being fitted in the neck of bag to which is
connected a flexible tube (d) provided with a screw nipple for the purpose;
this tube is also provided with a bulb (e) and a tap such as (f) to which is
attached a nipple such as (g) or (h) or other requisite form.
The appliance as shown in Fig. 1, may be used either as an ordinary reser-
voir or fountain syringe, or (by applying pressure to the bulb (e) as an enema.
By detaching the flexible tube (d) and inserting the screw cap or plug () the
bag may be used as an ordinary hot-water bag as shown in Fig. 2.
The complete appliance occupies much less space than the ordinary reservoir
or fountain syringe, besides being applicable for the several purposes men-
tioned.
It is evident that the bag may be made in different forms without departing
from the scope of my invention.
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:
The combination of a bag such as A of suitable flexible material provided

page_text: with means for suspending it, a handle and a screw nozzle (c); a flexible tube (d)
provided with screw nipple for connecting to nozzle (c), bulb (e) and suitable tap
to which suitable nipples may be attached, the said bag being applicable for a
hot-water bag by detaching the said flexible tube and fitting a screw cap or
plug such as () to the nozzle (c); substantially as, and for the purposes herein
set forth, and illustrated in the drawings.
Dated this 18th day of August 1899.
