Description
C. A. HABER.
EYB CUP. APPLICATION FILED SEPT.17,1906.
914,295@ Patented Mar. 2, 1909.
Stro/Lum.
State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Eye-Cup, of which the following is a speciication.
This inventlon relates to means for introducing medicines, Washes,`and the-like into the eye, and the principal obj ect is to provide a simple and novel article of manufacture, which insure the proper application of the desired material to the eye, and Will keep it-thereon and therein as long as desired, said article of manufacture furthermore bein `so constructed that medicament may be ta en from a;bottleand introduced into the eye without exposure to the outside air.
-The preferredform of construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, Where- 1n:-
Figure l is aside-elevation of the device. Fig.` 2 `is a sectional view therethrough. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view.
Similar reference numerals responding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
ln the embodimentillustrated, the article consists of an eye covering cup, a-com ressivble bulb having a conduit, and a ni )p e constituting an extension of the conduit and located in thelcup, all these parts being formed'` integral one with the other and of soft compressible material, preferably rubber.
The cup, designated 4 in the'drawings, is
substantially elliptical in shape having an open eye receiving side, the edges of the side Walls 5, which'surround said open side, being curved, as shown at 6.` A rear wall 7 closes the rear side of the cup, and thus an interior chamber 8 is formed. The bulb, designated 9, has an integral conduit 1() extending therefrom, said conduit projecting through the rear wall 7 and into the chamber forming an .integral compressible nipple 11 that is tapered. of the nipple terminates short of the curved edges 6 of the cup, and if desired, a suitablenozzle l2 may be iitted thereinto.
In using the device, the nipple 1l is' fitted tightly into the mouth of a bottle or vlal, said bottle or vial and the eye lcup attached therelto being inverted, the bulb 9 is compressed to expel the air therefrom. Upon being released, it will be evident that the medicament in the bottle or vial will be drawn into CHARLES ARTHUR tirannia, or OTTAWA, ILLINOIS`r Specification of Letters Patent. y l* Application filed Septenmrv 17, 1905. Serial No. 334,954. L
designate corlt will be observed that the free end open eye receivmg slde and ay rear wa the bulb and conduit. 'lllie'fcup-iisfthiifitted to the eye and is compressed,imorderftnicause a partial vacuum in the chamber 8. Said cup having been positioned, the bulb 9 is again compressed,'thus discharging the medicament and applying it to the eye'. As long as the cup is maintained in position, the medicament Will be retained within the chamber 8, and thus its proper application is assured. l
An article of manufacture, as thus produced, is very simple and hasproven to be exceedin ly efiicacious. By employing soft rubber, t e ,nip le will be compressed in the neck of the bott e when applied thereto, reventing leakage and permitting the comp ete emptying'of the bottle. Furthermore the eye cup and the bulb are separately and independently compressible so that'v the application .of the former to the eye will not affect the latter, and the discharging operation afforded by the compression of the bulb is independent of the application of the'cup to the eye. Moreover, inasmuch as the medicamen-t` can be withdrawn directly from the bottle or vial into the conduit and bulb and discharged therefrom directly into the eye, it willfnot come into contact with the atmoshere.
A further and -very impcrtantieature of the invention is the compressible eye cup. The reason for employin a compressible cup is that when compresse and applied to the eye, it will effectively prevent the eyelids from closing, thus insuring the perfect-application of the medicament or Wash to the surface or coat of the eye. One of the very serious .objections to applying washes or medicament to the human eye, is the difficulty in keeping the eye ope'n to receive the same.
This device entirely eliminates the difficulty.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-
i. As an article -ofmanuiacture, v'an-eye cup substantially elliptical in form and having an compressible bulb having a conduit that eX- tends through said rear wall andmteriinates in a short tapered nipcple within the eye cup, said cup, bulb, con uit and nipple being formed integrally 'of soft compressible r4r11/aterial, the cup andv bulb being independently compressible, andI the former having the edges, surrounding the; open side,fcu'rved.to conform substantially to the parts to which it isv applied, `and `said nipple constituting. a
compressible stop er adapted` to be 4inserted closed rear'wall, a com ressible bulb rhaving a conduit that exten s through sadrear` Wall, said -cup and bulb being' formed integrally of soft compressible rubber, the cup and bulb being independently compressible,
and cup 'hay/ing the :edges ofthe sides' at the frontlcuiyed to conform substantially to the part toy which the cup is applied`,` whereby the 'medicament may be introduced into the '15 cup after the latter has'been compressed and ap lied to the eye. y
n testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have heretov allxed my signature in the presence o'I'A two Witnesses.
