New or Improved Device or Apparatus for Containing and Ejecting
Curative or Disinfecting Solutions or Fluids, or for Analogous
Purposes.
I LEONARD CHAPMAN of 232 Camberwell New Road in the County of Surrey
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
My invention has for its object to provide a device or apparatus for containing and
ejecting curative solutions or fluids or for analogous purposes the said device or
apparatus being arranged in a compact form so that it may be carried in the pocket
and be readily and immediately brought into use when required. A device constructed
according to my invention consists of a receptacle for the fluid and a syringe com-
bined therewith the nozzle of the syringe being arranged in connection with a tap
controlling passages so that when the nozzle is turned into one position all communi-
cations are cut off and when the said nozzle is turned into another position a
communication is opened between the receptacle and the cylinder of the syringe and
also a passage is opened for air to the receptacle and when the said nozzle is turned
into still another position the communications previously opened are closed and a
passage is opened between the cylinder and the nozzle of the syringe.
I will describe with reference to the accompanying drawings a device constructed
in accordance with my invention premising that I do not limit myself to the precise
details shewn and described as they may be varied without departing from the nature
of my invention.
Figure 1 is a sido view and Figure 2 is an edge view of the device. Figure 3 is a
vertical section thereof. Figure 4 is a top view. Figure 5 is a section and Figure 6
is an edge view of a portion of the device shewing the position of the nozzle and tap
when fluid is to be drawn from the receptacle to the cylinder of the syringe and
Figure 7 is a section like Figure 5 but shewing the nozzle and tap in the position for
use in which the communication is established between the cylinder and nozzle of the
syringe. A is the receptacle for the fluid which is preferably shaped as shewn in
Figure 4 to fit against the person when carried in the pocket. B is the cylinder of
the syringe and is the nozzle having the tape combined therewith. The receptacle A
is preferably made in one piece and the cylinder of the syringe and part in which the
tap rotates are made in another piece secured to the receptacle A by the screws a a.
D is an air tube leading from the passage d to above the fluid in the receptacle A.
The passage
communicates with a semi-circular groove d² in the plug of the tap and
through this with the passage d³ leading to the outer air c³ is the passage from the
cylinder of the syringe. It communicates either with the passage e leading to the
receptacle A or with the passage f leading to the outlet from the nozzle.
The syringe cylinder is provided with a piston y having a stem g² and operating
knob g. H is a sliding cover which can be moved down on the cylinder of the
syringe to cover the nozzle as shewn in Figure 1 or be raised as shewn in Figure 2 to
allow the nozzle C to be turned. is a passage through the plug of the tap which
communicates with the passages c2 and e when the nozzle is turned to project at right
angles as shewn in Figures 5 and 6 or when turned into the same position on the other
side.
When the device is to be used the cover H is raised and the nozzle is turned into
the position shewn in Figures 5 and 6 so that there is a passage established through c², i
and e between the cylinder B and the receptacle A and an air way to the interior of
the said receptacle is established through d³ d2 d and D. The piston g is then raised
and fluid is drawn from the receptacle A through the passages e i and c³ into the said

page_text: cylinder B. The nozzle e is then turned into the position shewn in Figure 7 whereby
the passages fand c² are caused to communicate with each other and the other passages
are closed. Then by moving down the piston g the fluid is ejected from the nozzle
outlet. The nozzle is then turned into the position shewn in Figures 1, 2 and 3 and
all the passages are closed. The cover His moved down and the device is ready to
be placed in the pocket. j is a nut securing the nozzle C and tap c in place. The
receptacle A may be filled either by means of the syringe or by providing the
receptacle with a tightly closeable opening for the purpose.
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 :-
.
1. In a device or apparatus for the purpose described the combination of a receptacle
such as A with a syringe having a combined nozzle and tap by the adjustment of
which to various positions the passages are opened and closed for the purpose of filling
the syringe and ejecting the fluid from its nozzle substantially as herein before
described.
2. The arrangement and combination of parts constituting the device or
apparatus substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
3. In an apparatus or device for the purpose described a combined syringe nozzle
and tap by the movement of which the passage for fluid from the said nozzle can bo
opened and closed as required substantially as herein before described.
