F. A. SCHULTZ EAR MANIPULATOR Filed May 27 1921 INVENTOR Patented Apr. 3, 1923.
FREDERICK A, SCHULTZ, OF HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY EAR MANIPULATOR.
. Application filed May 27, 1921.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK A. SCHULTZ, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Hasbrouck Heights, county of Bergen, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ear Manipulators, of which the following is a full,
clear, and exact description.
Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: To afford means for eliminating the wax growth from the ear; to massage the ear; and to generally cleanse the channel of the ear.
Drawings.
ing ement.
As shown in the drawings, the suction element 9 has a thin frusto-conical wall, the under surface of which has a series of radially disposed fins 10. The member 9 and the fins 10 are preferably integrally constructed of soft rubber, and are provided with a hollow cylindrical handle portion 11. The socket 12 in the handle 11 has a contracted opening 13, as shown best in Fi ure 2 of the drawlngs. Through the openings 13 is forced a head 14 on the rigid handle 15.
The handle 15 is preferably constructed of bone, wood or similar material, such as celluloid or hardened rubber. It is preferably double ended, to be in service equipped, as shown best in Figure 1 of the drawings, with both the suction element 9 and the manipulating element '16.
The element 16 is lobular in shape, and is likewise formed 0 soft rubber, felt and similar material provided with a socket 17 to receive the heads 14: in the end of the handle 15. The outer surface of the manipulator 16 is covered with the series of radially disposed soft fins 18, which serve to brush the passage in the ear wheninserted therein,
and twisted or rotated.
Serial No. 472,962.
With a manipulator constructed and arranged as herein disclosed, the operation is as follows: The operator having placed the suction element 9 and the manipulator 16 n position on the handle 15, successively inserts the sand manipulator and the suction element within the said channel to first lessen and then to withdraw from the channel the wax-like formation. This operation is facilitated by the fins 10 and 18 on the suction element and manipulator respectively.
The pointed end of the element 16 permits the insertion thereof further into the auditory channel of the ear for the removal. of the waxy deposit therein.
1. In a device of the class described, a compressible manipulating member, an extension formed at one side of said member and having a socket opening outwardly of the free end thereof, the walls of said socket being thickened in a manner to provide a restrlcted opening at the outer end thereof, and a reversible rigid handle for said memher, said handle having headed ends adapted to be selectively engaged in the said socket and to have the thickened wall portions thereof to contract there-around.
2. In a/device of the class described, a rigid handle having headed end portions, and a compressible manipulating member adapted for attachment to one of the headed ends of said handle, said member having its active surfaces formed to provide a plurality of substantially rib-like fins.
3. In a device of the class described, a rigid handle having headed end portions, and a compressible manipulating member of cupped form adapted for attachment to one of the headed ends of said handle and having its cupped surface formed to provide a plurality of equidistantly spaced substantially rib-like fins.
4. In a device of the class described, a rigid handle having headed end portions, and a compressible manipulating member of cupped form adapted for attachment to one of the headed ends of said handle and having its cupped surface formed to provide a pIurality equidistantly spaced and radially extending substantially rib-like fins.
5. Ina device of the class described, a rigid handle having headed end portions, and a compressible manipulating member of cupped form adapted for attachment to one of the headed ends of said handle and having its cupped surface formed to provide a plurality of equidistantly spaced substantially rib-like tins, the outer ends of said fins being projected beyond the plane of the outer edges of the cupped portion of said member.
6. In a device of the class described, a rigid handle having headed end portions, and a compressible manipulating member of spherical form adapted for attachment to one of the headed ends of said handle and having its surface formed to provide a plurality of substantially rib-like fins.
7. In a device of the class described, a rigid handle having headed end portions, and a compressible manipulating member of spherical form adapted for attachment to one of the headed ends of said handle and .i
havingthat portion of its surface disposed concentrically of the longitiulinal axis of the handle formed to provide a plurality of substantially rib-like fins.
8. In a device of the class described, a rigid handle having headed end portions, and a compressible manipulating member of spherical form adapted for attachment to one of the headed ends of said handle and having that portion of its surface disposed comrentrically of the longitudinal axis of the handle formed to provide a plurality of substantially rib-like fins, said fins bein g elongated in directions coincident with the said longitudinal axis of the handle.
