APPLICATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 21, 1919.

Application fried December 5, 191s. serial No. 265,374.

To zZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED E. RINGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Applicators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to surgery, and more especially to syringes; and the object of the same is to produce an improved applicator for carrying and applying medicines for the treatment or prevention of certain diseases.

The primary object of the invention is carried out by constructing the applicator in the manner hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and as shown in the accompanying drawings wherein- Figurelis an elevation of the device as it appears when ready to be put into the pocket.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section with all parts assembled.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the manner of use- With all parts assembledthe device is a double container about the size and shape of a fountain pen, and preferably of hard rubber or equivalent material impervious to liquid and acid. In the drawings the numeral 1 designates what we may call a knob, preferably knurled around its body, and having plugs 2, 3 at top and bottom respectively, the upper plug carrying a brush, javelin or more likely a blade 4 shown. Over this is passed a cap 5, detachably connected with the plug as by screw threads or otherwise, and the cap wholly incloses the blade and serves also as a container for viscid medicament such as salve which is accessible when the cap is removed. At this time the blade pulls out of the salve and may |be used for applying it to the parts to be treated; hence I wish the broadest interpretation put on the word blade as used herein.

Removably attached to the other plug 3, as by threads if desired, is a barrel 10 contracted and shouldered and threaded at its lower end as at 11, and depending from this point is a nozzle 12-al1 preferably made integral. The tip of the nozzle` is closed by a removable closure such as a plug or, as shown, a small rubber cup, 13' slipped over it; and thus the barrel and nozzle beJ come a container for liquid medicament which is accessible through the nozzle when its closure is removed and air is admitted at the upper end by loosening or unse-rewling the plug 3. Finally, a cap l5 incloses the nozzle and is detachably connected with the threads around the shoulder 11 as shown; and by preference this cap bears against the cup or closure 13 and holds the same reliably in place.

While this applicator may have many uses, vit is designed primarily for the use of men immediately after having had sexual intercourse withI strange women, and as a safeguard against disease. The barrel may contain liquid prophylactic, such as the protargol solution used by the Navy; the smaller' container may well carry a charge of calomel or mercury ointment or similar ointment. Access to and use of the latter needs no elaboration. To apply the liquid as an injection, hold the barrel 10 upright, unscrew and remove the knob l, and place the linger over the upper end. Then remove the cap 15 and finally the closure 13, apply or insert the nozzle 12, and lift the linger to admit air and permit the charge of liquid to run out or drip out into or onto the part to be treated. The parts may then be reassembled and the whole carried in the pocket, and a clip 16 may well be mounted on the barrel to prevent loss.

What is claimed as new is l. An instrument of the type described comprising a knob having oppositely projecting plugs externally threaded, a blade projecting `from one plug, a cap inclosing the blade and screwed onto this plug, a barrel screwed onto th'e other plug and having a nozzle at its remote end, and a second cap detachably mounted on the barrel for inclosing the nozzle,

2. A double applicator comprising almob l having oppositely projecting plugs, a blade projecting from one plug, a cap inclosing the blade and removably connected with its plug, a barrel removably connected at one end with the other plug and having a noz- 'zle at its remote end, and means lfor detachably closing the tip of the nozzle.

3. An applicator comprising a barrel reduced and shouldered and` externally threaded at its lower end and continued/ thence in anozzle, removable elosulis -fohe tip of the nozzle and the upper end of thc barrel, and a cap adapted to inclose the nozzle and threaded to engage the threads on the shoulder of the barrel.

4. In an applicator' syringe, the combination with the barrel reduced and externally threaded and continued thence in a nozzle and a closure for the tip of the nozzle; of a cap internally threaded to engage the threads on the barrel, the internal length of the cap being such that when in place it holds the Closure in coactive relation to the nozzle.

5'. In an applicator syringe, the combination with the barrel reduced and shouldered and continued thence in a nozzle, and a closure for the tip of the nozzle; of a cap having means at its open en d for detachable engagement With said shoulder7 the lengtlrof the cap internally being such as to inclose the nozzle and hold the closure thereon.

6. In a double applicator of the type described, the combination with a solid element having oppositely projecting closures, and an applicator instrument projecting from one of the closures; of a container inclosing such instrument and detachably engaging its closure, a second tubular container detachably engaging the other clo sure and having a second applicator instrument at its remote end, and a secondv cap inclosing the last named instrument and serving also as a closure for thatl end of the tubular container.

In testimony whereof I affix my signa` ture,

FRED E. RINGE.
