ANTHONY EUGENE HAGORIS, OF BINGHAMTON, NEW YORK.

COMBINED SYRINGE AND SPECULUM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 471,647, dated March 29, 1892.

Application filed October 1, 1891. serial No. 407,407. ('No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTHONY EUGENE MA- GORIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Binghamton, in the county of Brooine and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin aCombined Vaginal Syringe and Speculum; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to that class of vaginal syringes in which an open-work nozzle and receiving and discharging tubes are employed.

The object of my device is to produce a combined vaginal syringe and speculum, and generally to provide a more effective and desirable article than those hitherto in use.

To this end my invention consists in the peculiar features and combinations of parts more fully described hereinafter, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of my invention, and Fig. 2 a horizontal perspective in which the two sections are shown detached.

The device is composed of two separable sections land 2, the former being the nozzle and thelatter the cap-section. The rear end 3 of the nozzle is given a cylindrical form to receive the cap-section 2,'which telescopes overit and makes a tight joint between the two sections. This arrangement enables the instrument to be made longer or shorter, as desired, and it also permits the sections to be attached and detached with facility. The front end 4 of the nozzle is substantially oblique or scoopshaped in general outline, and is connected to the cylindrical part 3 by longitudinal bars 4 5,.slightly concaved toward the interior,

whereby lateral openings are left through which the remedial agencies will pass, and thus be applied at the sides as well as at the end of the nozzle. The rim 12 on the front end of the nozzle is beveled to prevent irritation, and the extreme front end is also provided with a transverse lip or bar 6, which acts as a bearing against the displaced organs to replace them. The cap-section 2 has a closed end plate 7, through which extend receiving and discharging pipes 8 and fluid in line jets over the interior of the latter. The discharge pipe or tube 9 is located at the bottom of the cylindrical cap-section 2 and extends back obliquely to its axis and carries off the fluid contents of the nozzle. The front end of the cap-section 2 is provided with a shield 13, made convex and oval to fit around the mouth of thevagina to prevent overflow excepting through the outlet-tube 9. This shield is placed at an angle of about ninety degrees to'the axis of the nozzle to make a more perfect fit.

NVhen in use, the device operates as follows: Fluid is injected through receivingpipe 8 and discharged radially into the nozzle at the rear portion of the openings therein, and the fluid, after having performed its irrigating, cleansing, and remedial effects, flows back and out of discharge pipe 9. Hence it will be seen that a perfect douche is provided, in which the instrument can be used as a speculum, for the open-Work of the nozzle, together with its scoop-shaped mouth, will enablethe interior of the vagina to be examined when the cap-section 2 is removed. As a douche it will apply mall the surface, either as a cleansing or medicinal application, and admit of the retention of such application for an indefinite length of time, and it can be further seen that when the bar or lip on the end of the nozzle is adjusted to the depressed or displaced organ and pressure applied the organ will be raised or restored to its position.

It is evident that my invention could be varied in many slight ways that might suggest themselves to a skilled mechanic. Therefore I do not limit myself to the exact construction herein shown, but consider myself entitled to all such variations as come within the spirit and scope of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
