STANLEY R. SACKS, OF POTTSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
EYECUP.
Application filed August 22, 1928. Serial No. 301,387.
This invention relates to improvements in eye cups and like receptacles.
An object'of the invention comprehends the formation of an enlarged end upon the receptacle to conform to the curvature of the -eye ball.
Another object of the invention contemplates a partition within the receptacle adapted to prevent leakage of an eye wash solution until same has been punctured and the receptacle inverted upon the eye.
More specifically stated the invention is designed to be manufactured in the manner set forth, and sold as articles of merchandise.
VVit-h the above and other objects in View, the invention further consists in the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the invention.
Figures 4 and 5 are horizontal sectional views taken on lines 41 and 5-5 respectively through Figure 1 of the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a receptacle of oval shape and tapering from end to end. An opening 11 in the upper enlarged end of the receptacle is adapt- 3 ed to conform to the configuration of an eye ball, whereby the receptacle may be snugly seated thereagainst.
An annular shoulder 12, formed by creasing and depressing a portion of the receptacle, is
adapted to support a partition 13 upon the upper side thereof, whereby thelower enclosed portion of the receptacle may be employed for containing a suitable eye wash or other solution, not shown. The space between the lower edge of the opening 11 and the upper side of the partition 13 is great enough to permit opening and closing of the eye lids without touching the partition.
In the present invention by merely depressing or breaking the partition 13, communication will be established between the solution and the uppermost portion of thereceptacle and which when inverted will afford a most effective means for dislodging particles blown into the eye. Such an article could be easily purchased for ten or fifteen cents and discarded when same had served its purpose.
The invention may be constructed of waxed cardboard, composition, aluminium, or glass.
The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope'of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is An eye cup comprising a liquid receptacle tapering from end to end, the larger end of the receptacle being cut away to provide an outline in conformity with the shape of the human eye, an annular flangecarried upon the inner side walls of the receptacle above the liquid level, and a partition of fragile material carried upon the upper side of the flange toseparate the receptacle into separate compartments.v
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
I STANLEY R. SACKS
