RAETZ AND JOHN EICI-IINGER, OF ROCHESTER, -M'INN-ESOTA MEDICAMENT VAPQRIZER Application filed February 21, 1929. Serial N0. 34-1,659.
This invention relates to an appliance which may be broadly entitled a medicament vaporizer, and it has more particular reference to a structure which is hereinafter more specifically referred to as an inhalant kettle. More explicitly stated, the invention has particular reference to a portable domestic electrically operated appliance for vaporizing and producing medicated fumes such as may be efficiently employed for the relief of inflammatory effections of the respiratory tract, as well as for the local application of heated vapors to the external portions of the body.
In carrying out the invention we have evolved and produced what we believe to be a novel contribution to this particular art, in
that it embodies a structure which is char acterized by unusual simplicity, durability and efliciency in operation and use.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the same.
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the body portion.
Figure 4 is an enlarged front elevational view of the conoid nozzle.
In carrying out the invention we provide a receptacle or kettle 5 of appropriateproportions and materials. This is divided by a horizontal partition 6 into a lower compartment 7 and an upper compartment 8. The latter compartment is filled with the medicated fluid or other medicament employed. The partition 6 functions as a false bottom and is spaced upwardly from the supporting surface to prevent damage to thesurtace. The reference character 9 designates a removable lid having a plurality of air circulating and vent holes 10. The reference character 11 designates generally an electric heat- This comprises a suitably wound resistance coil (not shown) confined with a seamless metal housing or casing 12 of the configuration shown. This embodies an outstanding supporting flange 13 carrying a casingltin which a termostatically controlled switch (not shown) isarranged. The switch is confined within the compartment 7. The device is electrically operated and current is supplied thereto from an ordinary house cord or cable 15 suitably connected with the thermostatic switch.
The fumes and hot vapors escape from the top of the kettle through the efiiuent spout 16. This extends upwardly at the appropriate angle and to a desired point where it terminates in a conoid or truncated conical discharge nozzle 17. This may be of a propor- '05 tion to fit the nose and permit it to be inserted into it. It is flared at an appropriate angle to discharge the fume vapors uniformly into the room. .As shown in Figure 4, there is a flange 0r lip 18 across the bottom of the nozzle and this defines what maybe designated as a drain trough 19. Leading from this is a gravity drain pipe or tube 20 which returns the con- .densate to the spout. A suitable carrying bail clear understanding of the construction, operation, features and advantages of the invention will be had. Therefore, a more lengthy description will be regarded as unnecessary.
Minor changes in shape, size. materials and rearrangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice if desired.
Having thus described the invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A vaporizer of the class described comprising a container contracted at its upper end, an
apertured closure for said upper end, an electrical heating element arranged in the con tainer and including a casing extending vertically from the bottom of the container concentrically of the container, said heater casing having its upper end normally disposed above the normal level of the liquid in the container, the upper portions of the container providing a vapor chamber, a Vapor discharge spout projecting at an incline from the top of said container, asubstantially conical discharge nozzle on the upper end of said spout, said nozzle at the bottom thereof provided With a drain trough, and a gravity drain pipe connecting said trough With said spout.
In testimony whereof We aflix our signatures.
EDWIN M. RAETZ. JOHN EICHINGER.
