DOUCHE AND SYRINGE.

Application filed March 1, 1926. Serial No. 91,338.

My invention relates to improvements in douche'or syringe appliances, and more particularly has reference to dilating or expanding means in combination therewith for opening up or separating the parts so as to insure proper circulation and distribution of the liquid when applied.

In Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, I have illustrated in side elevation, a suitable form of spray nozzle and separator embodying an application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the same opened as intended during the douching operation, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

4 indicates the stem of the spray nozzle, the inner end of which is threaded for the coupling piece 5 for the hose or bag, as the case may be, and the same is preferably provided with a sto or flange 6 which serves as an abutment or the tube or hose at one side, and a stop at the opposite side to limit the movement of the stem 4. Also on the stem 4 is provided another stop 7 for limiting the outward movement of the stem 4.

8 indicates preferably a stamped metallic.

segmental shell which is provided with a central hole for the passage of the stem 4, and said hole may be backed by a washer 9, if desired. From said central portion of the shell, segmentslO project outwardly and radially, and curve inwardly as shown at 11, then bend again as shown at 12, projecting with a taper to a oint near the end indicated at 13, bulging thereat to form a rounded end at 14 as shown. This shell may be formed of hard rolled brass heavily nickel-plated, or of other suitable material so as to provide resiliency, tending to keep the segments contracted inwardly. 15 indicates ball pointed pins projecting radially from the tubular stem 4, and 16 indicates circular channels through which the ball ends of said pins may slide.

In using the device, a woman inserts the same in closed position with the liquid shut off, and after it has been .fully inserted, pulls the end of the stem 4 all the way out until the stop 7 strikes the shell, then starts the flow of liquid which sprays into her parts from the orifices 17, thoroughly douc hing the same, and draining out between the segments 8. After the liquid has been .GX- hausted, she then restores the shell to its contracted position, shown in Fig. 1, and removes the same. may serve not only to keep the shell n0rmally closed when in the position shown in Fig. 1, but widens the interior cavity suiticiently when expanded, as shown in Fig. 2, to insure thorough spraying of the parts, and at the same time presents a form for insertion which is smooth, rounded and the least objectionable, and if desired, the edges -of the segments may be turned inwardly as shown at 18.

Of course it will be understood that various modifications may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit ofthe invention as claimed.

I claim The enlarged end 14 1. In a device of the class described, a"

segmental shell and a slidable spray nozzle within the same. and means for spreading said shell by sliding said nozzle, said means comprising radially projecting and slidably engaging fingers from said nozzle adapted to force outwardly the segments of said shell.

2. In a device of the class described, a segmental shell and a slidable spray nozzle within the same, and means for spreading said shell by sliding said nozzle, said means comprising radially projecting and slidably engaging fingers from said nozzle adapted to force outwardly the segments of said shell, and stops on said nozzle for predetermining' the degree of movement of the same.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.

FRANK DROSSELMEYER.
