CASCADE 0R FOUNTAIN FOR INTERNAL BATI-IS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 6, 191'?.

Application mea November 2s, 191e. serial No. 132,936.

To all 'whom z' may concern.'

Be it known that I, EUGENE CARLsnNa citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and State oflllinois, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Cascades for Fountains for Internal Baths, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in a device to be used for internal baths, or for treatment of the rectum and vagina, and it consists in certain peculiarities of the construction, novelarrangement and operation of the various parts thereof, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed.

The principal obj ect of the invention, `is to provide a device .or apparatus of the aboveY mentioned general character, which shall be simple and inexpensive in construction, strong, durable, and` eliicient in operation, and which shall be of such construction that the internal baths or treatments may be selfadministered thereby, if desired. Other objects and advantages of the invention will be disclosed in the sub-joined description and explanation.

In the accompanying drawing which .serves to illustrate an embodiment of the invention, t

Figure 1, is a plan or face view effthe completeimplement or device on a slightly reduced scale from that `shown in Fig. 2, and illustrating the shield or plate by dottedy lines. e

Fig. 2, is a central vertical sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated` by the arrows.

Fig. 3, is a cross-sectional view taken on line 3*?) of Fig. 2, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows', but showing a fragment only of the water bag or receptacle.

Figs. 4 and 5, are detached views of modified forms of the nozzle used in connection with the device, and

Fig. 6, is a detached plan view showing a modified construction of the shield or plate.

Like numerals of reference, refer to corresponding parts throughout the differentJ views of the drawing.

The reference numeral 10 designates a water-bag or bottle, which may be made of any suitable size, form and material, but preferably of rubber and ofabout the shape vshown in Fig. 1 of the drawing. Located about centrally in one side of the bottle or bag 10 is a disk 11, which is preferably made of metal and is provided at its center with a tube 12 which is externally screwthreaded on its outer portion as will be clearly seen by reference to Fig. 2 of the drawing, in which view, it will also be seen that the plate or disk 11 is embedded in one of the walls of the bag or bottle 10, and this is preferably done by vulcanizing the disk 11 in position. The tube 12 of this disk affords communication with the interior of the bag or bottle 10, which latter may be supplied with water through an opening in the neck or mouth 13 thereof, which neck or mouth may be provided with a stopper of the ordinary or any well known construction. Mounted on the screw-threaded portion of the tube 12 is a cylindrical member 14 which is provided with a port or opening 15 into the lower end of which the tube 12 is fitted, and said port or tube is extended at its upper portion laterally through the wall of the member 14, as at 16 in Fig. 2 of the drawing. The member 14 is provided with a plurality of recesses 17 located vertically in the wall thereof, as is clearly shown in Fig. Blof the'A drawing. In one of the recesses 17 a spring 18 is located, and the other recesses 17 are for the reception of the inner ends of screws 19 which are seated radially in the movable member or valve 20 which surrounds the member 14 and holds the spring 18 in position within its recess. lThis spring is used for providing yielding tension between the parts 14 and 20, as the latter is reciprocatedon the former. The screws 19 and the recesses 17 in which their inner ends are extended, are employed to restrict the longitudinal movement of the member or valve 20 on the member 14, for it 4is apparent that the recesses 17 may be made of any desired length. The upper end of the member 14 is provided with a cavity or recess 21 in which is located` the lower portion of a coiled spring 22, the upper end of which rests against the upper end of the Acavity 23 with which the member or valve 2O is centrally provided, and which cavity or opening extends through the lower portion of the member 20 for the reception and operation of the member i4, as will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 2 of the drawing. The upper end of the member 2O is provided with a vertical opening 24, a portion of which is internally screw-threaded to receive and engage a discharging nozzle or tube. Leading from the opening 24 of the member or valve 20 is a by pass or channel 25 which communicates at its lower end with theV cavity 23 at a point near the middle of the length of said cavity.

The movable member or valve 20 is provided in its upper portion with a vent opening 26 which communicates with the upper portion of the cavity 23 so as to prevent the compression of air in said cavity in the operation of the device. Mounted on the upper end of the member or valve 20 is a shield or plate 27 which is concave-convex as shown and has its convex surface presented upwardly. This shield or plate is provided with a central opening through which the screw-threaded portion 27a of a nozzle 28 is extended to engage the screwthreaded portion of the opening 24 in the movable member, and said plate will thus be held in position. In order to prevent leakage, the lower portion of the nozzle 28 may be provided with a gasket 29 to rest on the upper surface of the shield or plate 27 when the same is used'. The nozzle 28 shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing is provided with a great number of openings 30 which extend through the walls of the nozzle and are for the purpose of discharging the water which is forced through the nozzle in cascadelike form. The upper end of the nozzle 28 is closed, consequently the water willV be forced out laterally through the openings 30 as is apparent.

vco

Instead of using a shield or plate of the form shown in Fig. 2, above described, a plate or shield 31, see Fig. 6, may be employed, which is particularly adapted for use on the device when the same is employed by females, for treatment of the vagina or for injecting water thereinto.

In Figs. 4 and 5 I have shown modified forms in the construction of the nozzle, the form shown in Fig. 4, being shorter than that shown in Fig. 2 and having an i Y the drawing, it will be readily understood and clearly seen that by supplying water to the bag or bottle 10 until it is suitably inflated or has the desired quantity of water therein, one of the nozzles having been secured in place on the valve 20 can be inserted into the rectum or vagina when by pressing the bag l() toward the member 20, 3

or said member toward the bag or bottle, the channel or port 25 in the member 2O will be caused to communicate at its lower end with the upper end-of the channel or port l5 thus permitting water to pass from the bag or bottle through the Ychannels l5 l.

and 25 and from thence through the opening 24 and out through the nozzle. As soon as the pressure is removed,pit is obvious thatk the spring 22 will cause the member 20 to move from the water-bag or bottle, and thus shut olf the discharge of water.

It is evident that the parts of the deviceV may be made of any suitable or desired ymaterial but by preference, they are made of hard rubber, with the exception of the Having thus fully described -my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. In a device of the character described, l
