DUMONT P. LAMB, OF PORTLAND, OREGON.

HOT-WATER BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 27, 1911.

Application led September 21, 1910. Serial No. 583,082.

To all 'whom z't'may concern:

Be it known that I, DUMONT P. LAMB, citizen of the United States, residing Aat Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hot-Water lao Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to surgical appliances and accessories and comprehends particularly an improved construction of hot water bottle.

The invention has for its primary object a simple and eflicientvhot water bottle which will maintain as long as desired avconstant heat through the instrumentality of an electric current, and the invention consists essentially, in a hot water bottle with a chambei` for the reception of an electric light bulb which may be detachably connected to the bottle whenever desired, whereby whenthe current is turned on, the water in the bottle will be maintained at a constant temperature.

The invention also consists in a device of this character embodying improved means whereby the electric light bulb and socket may be securely and yet detachably held in theybottle, the arrangement of parts permitting the bulb and socket to be readily applied whenever desired and quickly detached from the bottle when the latter is not required for use. And the invention also consists in certain constructions and arrangements of the parts that l shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.

For a full understanding ofthe invention,

. reference is to be had to the following ldescription and accompanying drawings, m which:

Figure l is a perspective view of a hot water bottle constructed in accordance with my invention; Figs. 2 and 3 are fragmentary sectional views thereof; and, Fig. 4t is a detail fragmentary view of the clamping device.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

My im roved water bottle may be formed of any esired substance or material and may be of any desiredconstruction and de'- sign, except that it is formed with a cham ber .l preferably opening at the bottom of the bottle and if desired having its walls lined with asbestos or some other similar material or substance, although I do not wish to be limited to the use thereof. The chamber l'may be of any desired size, although preferably relatively small, and is designed to recelve an electric light bulb and socket 2, the same being held detachably in the chamber, so that the bottle may be detached from the electric light socket whenever desired and the latter applied to the bottle whenever the bottle is required for use.

ln the present embodiment of the invention, the means for detachably holding the chamber bulb 2 in the socket 1 of thebottle consists of clamping arms 3 and 4t, the arm 3 being preferably permanently connected to the base of the bottle by having its ends embedded therein or otherwise secured, while the clamping arm 4C is pivotallyconnected to the arm 3, so that one arm may be spread away from the other to permit. the electric light bulb and socket to 'be entered in the chamber 1 and the swinging arm then closed around the relatively stationary arm to hold the bulb and socket in place. Preferably, the two arms 3 and 4: are formed intermediate of their ends with oppositely extending curved portions 5 designed to snu ly surround the electric light socket 2 and old it securely in place, and

-to hold the arms in closed position relative to each other, l may use any form of clamp such as that illustrated at 6.

From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawings, the operation of my improved hot water bottle will be apparent. ln the practical use of the device the arme is swung out from the arm 3 and the electric light bulb and socket 2 are then inserted into the charnber l of the bottle and the arm d subsequently closed and fastened to the arm 3 by the clamp 6. rlhe current is then turned on, whereby the hot water in the bottle will, as isVV manifest, be maintained constantly hot so long as the electric current is ermitted to dow through the bulb and soc et 2. And preferably the relatively stationary arm 3 is formed at its ends wit lateral projections 7 that are embedded in the wall of the hot water bottle and that are preferably wired, as indicated best in Fig. 2, so as to increase the bearing surfaces and Qti tra

lll)

securely hold the clamp to the bottle. The arm 3 is only connected to the bottle by these lateral projections 7. y

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a hot water bottle provided with a chamber for the reception of an electric light bulb and socket, a clamping arm secured to the bottle and extending across the chamber, another clamping arm, the last-named arm being pivotally connected to the first-named arm and the arms being designed to be clamped around `an electric light socket, and means for holding said armsin clamping position.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a hot water bottle provided with a chamber' for the reception of an electric light bulb and socket, a clamping arm formed at its ends with lateral projections embedded in the wall of the bottle on opposite sides of said chamber, the arm extending across the chamber, a second arm pivotally connected at one end to the first-named arm, the arms being adapted to clamp around an electric .light socket, and means for holding said arms in clamping position.'

BIAS a new article of manufacture, the herein described hot water bottle rovided with a chamber for the reception o an electric light bulb and socket7 a clamping arm fastened to the bottle and extending across the end of the chamber thereof and formed intermediate of its ends with a curved portion, and a complcmental clamping arm pivot/ally connected to the first-named arm and formed with a correspondingly curved portion, the two curved portions being designed to encircle the socket of the electric light bulb inserted in the chamber of the bottle, and a clamp designed to secure the arms clamped around the electric light socket.

ln testimony whereof, l alix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
