SYRlNGE-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 630,638, dated August 8, 1899.

Application filed March 11, 1899.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, ALBERT H. TATUM, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Syringe Cases, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to cases more particularly adapted for syringes; and-the object of said'invention is to provide a case of the char acter described wherein simple, cheap, and efficient means are provided to retain nozzles in place in the case when they are not in use and to allow ready access thereto when they are to be used.

To these ends my invention consists in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 illustrates a plan view of a syringe-case embodying my invention, the same being shown open with the parts in place. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View through the cover of the case, the said View being taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is atransverse sectional view of the case when closed, the view being taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

In the accompanying drawings, A indicates the main containing-receptacle, in which the syringe proper, B, or other suitable device may be contained. The receptacle A is provided with a cover 0, which is shown as hinged thereto, as indicated at a a, and the containing-receptacle and cover go to make up the casing proper. The walls I) of the cover C have pivoted thereto a nozzle-support D, as indicated at c. This nozzle-support is provided with a series of securing devices-such, for instance, as the screw-threaded projections dto which the variousnozzles E may be removably secured. The nozzle-support D is flattened, as indicated at e f, upon two sides at least, andwith these flattened sides of the nozzle-support a retaining means is adapted to cooperate. The retaining means illustrated in the present instance is a flat leaf-spring F, which may be secured toa wall: of the cover C, as indicated at g. The free' end of this spring bears upon the flattened serial No. 708,678. on; model.)

portionsof the nozzle-support and retains it ,ineither of two positions by frictional contact.

These. 'two positions are those in which the nozzles are maintained parallel with the top .of thecover, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 3 of 55 the drawings, and the position in which the nozzle-support is turned on its pivot in an upright positio n, so that the nozzles may be readily detached from their support.

It will be observed that by my invention I 60 am enabled to maintain the nozzles and their support in a position Where they will not ill- ;terfere with the closing of the case and wherein there is no liability of the nozzles becoming injured when the case is closed. 6 5

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. In a syringe-case, the combination of a main containing-receptacle, a cover therefor, 70 a nozzle-su pport pivoted to and carried wholly within said cover, means carried by said nozzle-support for removably connecting one or more nozzles thereto and a spring cooperat ing with said nozzle-support and adapted to 75 retain it in the position into which it is moved.

2. In a syringe-case, the combination of a main containing-receptacle, a cover therefor,

- a nozzle-support contained within and pivoted top wall of the cover and will be maintained go in this position by the retaining-piece and when'the nozzle-s11 pport is moved in another position the nozzles will be maintained'by the retaining-piece at substantially right angles to the top wall of the cover. I p
