Aug. 27, 1935. H. M. HERROLD SUPPOSITORY MOLD AND CONTAINER Filed Aug. 11, 1934 BY 60m .71 5 ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 27 1935 -JUNITED? My invention relates to' improvements in' sup pository molds and containers. i One of the objects of my invention'is to provide anovel container for suppositories in which they are held without liability of distortion or contacting'with foreign material, when in storage or in transportation.

A further object of my invention is the pro h vision offa novelinold and container for a'sup- 10- pository, which can be readily separated into de tached parts to freethe suppository when the latteristobeusedfi" My inventionprovides further a novel mold and I container comprising I connected" units respectively containing suppositories, the units being individually easily separable one at'a time as the suppositoriesare to'fbe used, each unit being contained suppository. I 1

In the formof my inv'ention{-which employ a gang of detachable' uhits; illustrated ihfFigSfl to 5, ii designates a body of material m me form, of a, rectangular. blockand consisting of material whichjwillnot' crumble. but-whioh-will easily split, suchas redwood'pinje',and'bedar.

The bodyfl is provided with a plurality fof chambers 2 disposed in rows transverse tofeach other and extendinglfrom one; the upper, endof j the body I toward the bottom end thereof. The. chambers 2 are conical and downwardly oo'nvergins, and are provided with an oil and acid resisting coating 3, of any suitable material, such as an enamel of ordinary commercial "type; and which may embody Tung-oil, fossilizedgum, as Kongo; gum, and i titanium and "zinc oxides. Such, an enamel suitable for the purpose is "com-f merc'ially 'sold under' the name of Nu-Enamel.

' Such enamel resists the action of alcohol; acids;

*echambe'rsj 2 form molds'and containe suppositories!"of usual medicinal-typefand the I open ends ofI the chambers are. normally closed respectivelybyfcovers comprising oaps5, which maybe forced into-the enamel coating? so'as to be releasably held in'place." x v f j v Thebody 'l is provided with slotsor grooves. 6' which extend from the bottom of'the body :ljllpwardly between the'urows respectivelyjof the chambers 2 to" points adjacent-to theupper'end' of'the body I. Grooves or slot'sfl.also"extend upwardly.
