ITED STATES PATENT 1;

WILLIAM S. HAY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO DAVOL RUBBER COMPANY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, A CORPORATION OF RHODE ISLAND.

ATOIVIIZER.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. HAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Atomizers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention pertains to certain new and useful improvements in atomizers, and the primary object of the invention is to provide an atomizer which can be easily and readily converted into a douche, and further one in which the degree of atomizing action of the device may be regulated or.controlled.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view taken through an atomizer constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but showing the parts in a different position.

The bottle 1 has the usual top 2 threaded into engagement therewith, the top 2 having a counterbored socket 3 in which the head 4 of the tube 5 engages. The head 4 is formed with a downwardly facing threaded socket 6 which receives the upper end of a tube 7 that is threaded into engagement therewith and extends vertically down into the bottle. The head 2 is formed on its bottom with a socket 8 being substantially that of the counterbored portion of the socket 3. A plug 9 has its upper end exteriorly threaded and engages in the threaded socket 8, the plug being formed with a longitudinal passage 10 and a transverse passage 11. The vertical tube 7 is received in the longitudinal passage 10 and is formed with a passage 12 that registers with the passage 13 of the tube 5. The tube 7 has a transverse passage 14: that extends from the passage 12 thereof through the adjacent side of the tube, the transverse passage 14: being for registry with the transverse passage 11 of the plug 9.

It is evident that the tubes 5 and 7 may be formed in one piece if desired without departing from the spirit of my invention which particularly consists in a rotatable delivery tube for regulating the atomizing action.

In operation it will be seen that the tube Specification of Letters Patent.

7 may be rotated with respect to the plug 9 so as to vary the relationship between the passages 11 and 14 to thus adjust or regulate the atomizing action which may be required. hen it is desired to use the atomizer as a douche, the tube 7 or the plug 9 is rotated to cause the passages 11 and 14: to assume the position shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, in which passage 14 is closed against the ingress of air. In Fig. 2 the passages 11 and 14: are in position to eifect atomizing action.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In an atomizer, in combination with a bottle having a top, a tube carried by the top and formed with a threaded socket, a second tube threaded into said socket and having a longitudinal and a transverse passage, said top being further formed with a threaded socket, and a plug threaded in said socket of the top and formed with a longi tudinal passage and a transverse passage, the longitudinal passage of the plug receiving said second mentioned tube and the transverse passage of the plug being for registry with the transverse passage of the second mentioned tube.

2. In combination with an atomizer bottle having a top which is formed with a counter bored socket which extends through the bottom side of the top and which has its lower portion interiorly threaded, a tube having a head that engages in the upper unthreaded end of the socket, said head having a "downwarclly facing interiorly threaded socket, a second tube having a transverse passage and having its upper end threaded into engagement with the threaded socket of the head, and an element threaded into engagement with the threaded end of the socket of the bottle top for regulating the size of the transverse passage of the second mentioned tube.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
