IN HALI NG APPARATUS.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Paten t N0."'736 ,11 1, dated August 11, 1903. Application filed May 14, 1902. Serialllo 107,282 (No model.)

residing at Bad Reichenhall, in the Kingdom of Bavaria and Empire of Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements use in respect of its being admirably appli-- in Inhaling Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description;

This invention has reference to an inhaling apparatus which can be worked by means of an electrical source of heat and which differs advantageously and essentially from the arrangements ot a similar kind hitherto in cable for use both in the customary manner for inhaling purposes through the mouth and nose and also wit-bout further trouble namely, merely with the assistance of any source of forced-air supply and a suitable catheter-for the treatment of the interior of the ear and alsoin case of diseases of the mucous membranes ofthe rectum and the genitals. r

The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which Fig. 2 is an attachment for the ear in longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is an attachment for the mouth in longitudinal section. ment for the nose in longitudinal section. Fig. 5 is the middle part of Fig. 1 turned by about forty-five degrees as compared with the latter.

The handle a, with the suspending-ring 17,

carries by the attachment 0 the electrical contact and in its interior. the conduit-wires of, which may be connected in the usual manner with the light or power circuit in queswith ventilating-holes Z and at the bottom with a small nozzle m, as well as with inside stops non its top edge The latter stops limit the turn of the cylinder 0, which can .cup part 70.

Fig. 4 is an attach-- be inserted in the cup part and which on its circumference carries a corresponding stop 19 and holes 2, corresponding to the ventilatingholes Z. As the upper edge of the cup part 7r, bears one or two notches q, the last-mentioned arrangement serves as an easily workable bayonet-joint to enable the apparatus to be easily taken to pieces and put together again for the purpose of cleaning it or in order to change the incandescent lamp. On the inner side of cylinder 0 there is a corresponding cylinder 1" arranged, of asbestos or the like, for the purpose of good insulation, and it also ossesses holes 2' corres ondin to the holes Z or a, as the case may be. In its upper part the cylinder 0 has a chamfer-like contraction .9, which serves as a rest for thevessel u to be inserted and possessing a strainer t at the, bottom. This vessel u may be closed by an inserted lid or ring m, which is also provided with a sieve o and a wire handle to. This sieve may be used to support medication. The upper end of the cylinder 0 may be closed, as by hood y, and this may be socured in the same manner by a bayonet-joint Figure 1 shows the complete arrangement in partial longitudinal section.

as with the lower part of the cylinder 0 or the The hood y, which is open at the top, serves in the well-known manner in itself for receiving the attachments, Figs. 2,

3, and 4, by having the latter withtheir elastic rim y pulled over the corresponding top rim of the hood y.

The arrangement represented in Fig. 1

shows a bulb-bellows A, which may be of any size, attached to the nozzle m, and the cylinder is there adjusted to the base or cup in such a manner that the ventilating-holes 2 cl are closed-that is to say, in the case oftreatment of the inner ear or for the treatment of the mucous membranes of the rectum or of the genitals the apparatus, as represented in Fig. l, is not used directly, as an inhaling apparatus, butindirectly bya pressure action. If, on the other hand, the apparatus is to be used solely and directly as an inhaling apparatus, the bulb or bellows A is not attached, as shown in Fig. 5, and the cylinder 0 is so placed in the base or cup 70 that the ventilating-holes la a are all opposite eachother, and consequently air is drawn in through these open channels by means of the electrical source of heating device in said chamber, and means heat and forced through the apparatus in a for forcing air into said chamber. 10 warmed state. In witness whereof I subscribe my signature What I claim, and desire to secure by Letin presence of two Witnesses. 5 ters Patent, is v THEODOR KAUTZ.
