METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROMOTING OSMOTIC ABSORPTION Filed June 28. 1926 7% 4 INVE TOR ATTO NEY Patented Feb. 28, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HERBERT OPPENHEIMER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
Application filed June 26,
bring about osmotic absorption by the person making the application, and in the case where the application is made by a physician or nurse, of difierent preparations, the effect upon such physician or nurse is frequent- .9 1y very unfortunate.
My invention, therefore, consists in a method and means by reason of which medicinal preparations may be applied to the skin, and osmotic absorption materially increased, without the disadvantages mentioned above.
The accompanying drawing will serve to illustrate one form of apparatus which may be employed. I wish it understood, how- .39 ever, that the form and details of construction of the apparatus maybe materially modified, without departing from my invention. I v
In the drawing: Fig. 1 is a View in perspective of my improved apparatus, the view being broken away to show an internal heating tube, and also showing in dotted lines at the left, the mechanism employed, by reason of which the roller may be removed for clean- 0 ing or otherwise.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on line :v-m ofFig. 1.
Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section taken on line fl/@/ of Fig. 1.
In the drawing: 5 indicates a handle which is connected at its right hand end to a tubular heating unit, 6. 7 is an electric conductor connected at its terminals to the conductors 8-9 of the resistance wire, 10, of
the heating unit. 11 indicates a roller which 1926. Serial No. 118,637.
is supported on the outside of the heating unit, 6, and which is free to revolve thereon. Supported upon the heating unit, 6, at the right hand end, and over the roller, 11, is a frame, 12. Pivotally connected to the left hand end of the heating unit, is a bracket, 13, the right hand end of which overlaps the top of the frame, 12, and may be secured thereto by the screw 14:. Mounted on top of the frame, 12, in any suitable manner is 6 a reservoir, 15, adapted to contain the medicinal preparation, 16, which is to be applied through the apparatus. The orifice, 17, at the lower portion of this reservoir is controlled by a needle valve, 18, which may 5% be actuated by the screws 19 to controlthe delivery and flow of the medicinal preparation to the surface of the roller, 11. Located within the reservoir, 15, is a heating unit, 20, which has for its purpose to heat 3 the medicinal preparation when desired. This heating unit is connected through the terminals 21-22 to the conductors leading through 7 to the source of electric energy.
Slidably mounted on the frame 12 is a 7.? member 23 having upwardly and inwardly turned portions 24 engaging the side-edges of said frame, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.v The member 23 is adapted to be moved into registration with 9 the opening 17 so as to cover said opening when the device is not in use. With this construction the needle valve may either be omitted or remain in adjusted position when the massaging device is not in use, the member 23 serving to close the orifice to prevent dripping of the medical preparation. Obviously, when the device is used the slider 23 is moved out of registration with said orifice.
The operation of my improved device will be readily understood. .The medicinal preparation to be applied is introduced into the reservoir, and heated if desired. From the reservoir, it is fed upon the outer surface of the roller, 11, which roller is heated if desired, through the instrumentality of'the heating unit, 6. Movement of-the roller, 11, by hand or otherwise across the part to which the medicinal preparation is to be applied insures a practically even distribution of the medicinal preparation over the part and its rapid osmotic absorption without involving the objections previously recited.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
