\ JASPER S. ROSS, OF SHARON, PENNSYLVANIA.
INVALIDS CUSPIDOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 520,967, dated June 5, 1894.
' Application filed September 18, 1891. Serial No. 406.120. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JASPER S. ROSS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sharon, in the county of Mercer and State of Pennsylvania,
have invented a new and useful Expectoration-Receptacle, of which the following is a specification.
This form of receptacle consists of two cavities, an upper and a lower, and is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the entire receptacle.
' A B G D in each figure represent the up- 7 per cavity.
In Fig. 2 B K R 0 represent the lower cavity running the full length of the upper cavity. The upper cavity has its sides andbottom inclosed. V The lower cavity is wholly inclosed except at one end which is open as shown in Fig. 1 by F E P.
The use is as follows: A slip of paper .is pressed into the upper cavity so as to cover the bottom and sides. In the lower cavity a number of slips of paper are stored, these slips being slightly narrower than the bottom of the cavity. When the upper cavity, lined with paper as above directed, has been used a few times for the reception of expectoration, let a slip be drawn from the lower cavity and laid on the expectoration in the upper cavity. After further deposits of expectoration let .another clean slip be drawn and laid in the upper cavity as before. Let this manner of using be continued until a number of slips have been drawn from the lower cavity and used in the upper; then all the papers used may be removed in a mass and burned, and the described process of using be begun over again.
The advantages are: First,'it avoids the unpleasant duty of cleaning the ordinary cuspidor or spittoon second, the burning of the expectoration may favor-health bydestroying the germs of disease; third, invalids can have the receptacle on their beds, as overturning would not much discommode; and by the covering slips avoid for themselves and their friends the upleasant exposure to view of expectoracover, and the lower compartment having one lateral face open; the two compartments being immovably joined together-substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
