4SPIEGIFICAILION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,549, dated August 13, 1895.'

v Application 4filed December 1'7J 1894. Serial No. 532,118. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORIN J. TAYLOR, a'citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, District of Columbia, have inventedl trated in the accompanying drawings, in`

which- Figure l is a longitudinal section'taken through the induction-pipe on the line :n of Fig. 2 is 'a vertical section lof the eduction-pipe on the line y y ofFig. l, show-- u ing also a plan of the cup, lip, and ilange.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The letterA represents the cup, madesemicircular in form, and E shows the edge or lip of the cup. f v,

B is a flange integral with the cup and projects at right angles to the outer surface and middle portion of the cup.

The induction-pipe O is constructed integral With the cup A, lip E, and flange B. The forward portion of said induction pipe, or that partof the same on the concave face of the cup E, is slightly lcurved upward and about three 'orfour inches in length from the inner surface of the cup, and is enlarged at its outer end (lettered I) and provided with openings for the passage of the medicated solution used for the parts of the body to be treated. The opposite end of the inductionpipe F is also made integral with the cup A, lip E, and flange B, and extends outward from the convex portion of the cup A about one inch, and is provided with a groove or recess H, in order that a rubber tube L through which the iiuid employed in treating the diseased parts may be conducted from any vessel or receptacle used ,for the purpose of holding the liquid.

The device,including the eduction-pipe G,

-form a part of the specification.

is formed integrally with cup A, lip E, flange B, and inductiompipeO I F H, andsaid pipe G projects from the bottom or convex portion of the cup A, and, like the part F, it has a groove or recess K near its outer end to hold securely the tube M, through which the fluid thathas been conducted to the diseased parts of the body maybe safely carried away without trouble or annoyance to the patient. The pipe GrY is located near the cent-er of the bottom of the cup, while the pipeF has its inlet into the cup A somewhat removed from the center of the bottom of cup A. The lip E is rigid and made integralwith cup A, so that when inserted Within the outer lparts of the vagina, for example, it holds the tube or pipe O firmly in its place and allows the medi` cated fluid to traverse almost the entirelength of the vagina, except the most sensitive parts, which in many instances are the outer lips thereof. The curvature of the induction-pipe O causes it to be more easily inserted within the vagina and removed therefrom with less annoyance than a syringe constructed with a p straight pipe.

The manner of operating my syringe will readily appear from the foregoing description and from an inspection of the drawings, which The iiuid from a vessel or receptacle (not shown) is conducted through the pipe L,fthence through pipe O, and out through the perforations I, and is there brought in contact with the dis- .'eased parts, when the instrument has been applied in the manner commonly known to medical men and older members of every household.

The construction of my improved syringe permits the medicated fluid to pass almost the entire length of the vagina before it returns to the receptacle or cup A, and thence out through the eduction-pipe G. By slightly compressing the rubber outlet-pipe with the fingers, and the liquid forced in through the pipe C, the vaginal wall may therebybe distended and a circulation through the vagina kept up. My improved syringe has this advantage, in that it has no joints,.but is made of one piece, so that germs of disease may not lodge therein, and it is easily washed, readily cleansed, and quickly sterilized. y

The advantages which accrue from the construction which I have made are that it is easily and thoroughly cleaned. There are no joints or crevices for disease germs to lodge in. It does not leak and soil the clothing. The shape is such as to facilitate introduction, as the tube C can be conveniently brought into the best position by grasping the portions A, F, and G, and itis believed to be the easiest to place in position of any syringe yet devised. y

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The integrally formed syringe comprising cup Ahaving rigid lip E, extending therefrom, a perforated nozzle, shield B, and in-
