DEPU RATO R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,453, dated lVIareh 24, 1885.
Application filed October 21, 1894. (No model.)
Ll' 0 @ZZ whom it may con/cern:
Be it known that I, J osEPH KETOHUM, Jr., of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Treating Diseases and Disorders in Vacuo, of which the following is a specification.
The improvement consists in an airtight y cabinet adapted to receive a patient, and having provision for breathing from and back into the external air, a pump for exhausting air from the cabinet, a tank between the pump and the cabinet, a connection between the cabinet and the tank, and a lconnection between the tank and the pump.
The improvement involves the interposition of a tank between an air-tight cabinet and an air-pump in such manner that air exhausted from the tank will cause a partial vacuum therein, after which, if the air from the cabinet be allowed to dow into the tank, it will create a partial vacuum inthe cabinet. This combination of parts is for the purpose of relieving the patient from the successive impulses to which he would be subjected were the rarefaction produced by an air-pumpapplied directly to the cabinet, such impulses being extremely disagreeable and being liable to cause injury to persons of nervous temperament.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown a sectional elevation of apparatus embodying my improvement.
Referring to this drawing, A represents an air-tight closet or cabinet 4of convenient form and size for receiving a patient. An opening, B, is formed in the front, serving the purposes of an entrance-way- The opening B is provided with a cover, C, which, for convenience in securing an air-tight joint, is fitted with a shoulder or easement, D, formed upon the closet. A tube, K, leads from the exte- -riorof thevcabinet to its interior, and this is united with a flexible tube, 7c. Said tube k preferably has arranged upon its free end a mouth-piece or nozzle, a, which is adapted to be held in the mouth or at the breathingorgans of the patient, or to be applied to the other portions of the body which it may be desired to treat. A suitable cock, k, is inserted in the pipek for controlling the flow of air, vapor, or gas through this tube.
A reservoir, L, may be employed for containing medicine or other substances which it may be desired to administer to the patient.
` between pipes F This reservoir is connected with the pipe 7c by means of a tube, m, terminating in a spray-nozzle, m, of well-known construction. Through this the contents of the reservoir are forced, the flow being` regulated by means of a stop-cock, ml.
I will now describe the means I employ to rarefy the air in the cabinet A. For this purpose an air or vacuum pump, F, of welllknown construction is employed. I arrange F2, leading from the cabinet to the pump F, an a'r tight tank, G, ofany convenient form. Suitable valves or cocks, g g2, are interposed in the pipes Fl F2, for the purpose of governing the flow of air. I first rarefy the air in the tank G by means of the pump F. To do this the valve or cock g is closed and the pump operated. The valve or cock g2 is afterward closed, and the valve or cock g opened, thus allowing the air from the cabinet to pass into the tank until the required rarefaction is produced in the cabinet. I may arrange a vacuum-gage, H, upon the cabinet A, by means of which the degree of rarefaction may at any time be determined.
I have found that the best results may be obtained under a rarefaction represented by from one-half to one and one-half inch of mercury; but any proper degree of rarefaction may be produced.
I do not herein claim a cabinet in which a patient is subjected to a partial vacuum and caused to inhale from and exhale into the at mosphere external to the cabinet; neither do I claim a cabinet in which a patient is sub jected to a partial vacuum and caused to inhale from and exhale into the external atmosphere and a reservoir for containing medicine or other substances in connection with the means for inhaling from the external atmosphere.
N Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of an air-tight cabinet adapted to receive a patient and having provision for breathing from and back into the external air, a pump for exhausting air from the cabinet, a tank between the pump and the cabinet, a connection between the cabinet and the tank, and a connection between the tank and the pump, substantially as specified.
