VAGiNAL SYRINGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 597,323, dated January 11, 1898.

Application and A ril 30, 1897.

To ctlZ whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, ANTHONEY E. MAGORIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bing hamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vaginal Syringes; and I do 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which forms a part of this specification.

My invention relates to those nozzles for vaginal syringes provided with a drain-pipe leading from the vagina for the purpose of carrying off the wash to any suitable receptacle without wetting the clothes of the patient.

The object of my invention is to produce a superior vaginal-syringe nozzle especially adapted for more effectually cleansing and removing all mucus, pus, or other substances which may be loose or coated upon the walls of the cavity treated.

A further object of my invention is to give the syringe-nozzle such a shape and construction that it will thoroughly drench and wash the walls of the vagina without danger of injecting a stream of medicament into the cavity of the uterus, and so that it will serve the further purpose of a safe instrument for replacing a displaced uterus. A further use from its particular construction is that with it the liquid injected into the cavity can be retained therein by closing the drain-pipe by pressure, and liquid medicament is thus re tained in contact with the diseased surfaces at the pleasure of the user.

With these purposes in view my invention consistsin the peculiar features and combinations of parts more fully described hereinafter andpointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing the letter a denotes a pipe, conduit, or duct bent in the form of apear or U shaped loop, the ends a of which are brought together to form a nozzle and passed through the smaller end I) of a funnel-shaped sleeve b,whence they pass out through the large end. This tube is preferably made of flexible material, such as rubher, having sufficient hardness to permit it to derlal No. a 34,541. (No model.)

be bent, yet being impervious to hotwater, acids, and other cleansing elements. The smaller end I) of the sleeve tightly embraces the ends of the tubes, so that fluids cannot escape at that point. The conduit is divided into two sections 0 and d, the former being the inlet-section and the latter the outlet-section. The inlet-section comprises about twothirds of the loop, commencing at the sleeve and terminating at a plug or stopper 6, located below and to the left of the curved end a, of the loop and serving to cut off communication between the two sections. This inlet-section is provided with numerous small perforations through which the fluid medicament is projected from all sides against the innerwalls of the vagina or the parts to be treated, after which it escapes through a 1ongitudinal slot or opening d in the inner wall of the outlet-section (l. The particular advantage of locating the escape-opening (Z in the inside of the loop is to prevent it from being closed by coming in contact with the walls of the vagina or cavity in which it is inserted, thereby leaving it open and free to allow the waste fluid carrying foreign matter to pass off while fresh fluid enters.

The free end of the inlet-section c of the conduit should be of such form as to be readily attachable to the pipe of any suitable pump, fountain, or other source of supply, while the outlet (1 should be likewise provided for the attachment of a removable dischargepipe leading away from the syringe.

The peculiar location of the plug 6 projects the infiowing liquids radially from the semicircular end of the loop in such a manner that by turning the instrument every possible direction can be given to the jets of liquid issuing from the perforations.

By making the conduit of flexible rubber tubing or other flexible material the sides of the loop can be pressed toward each other or allowed to expand in order to vary the diameter. When the sides of the loop are pressed together, they form an irrigating-syringe for treating the lower bowel or flushing the larger intestine. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A nozzle for a vaginal syringe consisting tition or stopper between said portions, in combination With a sleeve embracing both sections, substantially as described.

3. A vaginal syringe consisting of a continuous loop of flexible material provided with perforations and divided interiorly into independent inlet and outlet sections, the inlet-section having perforations distributed in its sides, and the outlet-section being provided with an elongated discharge-openin g on the inside, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
