' This invention relatesto improvements in surgical suction and pressure apparatus for.

vaporizing ether, providing pressure for Fsprays, and providing negative pressure for suction for drawing fluids from the body.

-'-Apparatus of. this character includes a bottlefor'containing theliquid to be ato- V mized or sprayed when theapparatus is operated as a' pressure device, and for receiving the liquid when the apparatus is used as a suction device, and, 1n each instance, the bottle is provided with a removable cover hav- 7 ing an inlet tube and an outlet tube extending therethrough.

vide a novel, simple and efficient means for holding the. bottle in a'fixed position which willpermit the bottle to be easily and quick- 1y; removed and replaced or another substituted for it for filling or emptying purposes. Another object of the inventionis to provide a novel and advantageous cover for the bottle; and a further object is to provide a novel and advantageous clamping means which, at one operation, willclamp the cover uponthe bottle and clamp the bottle upon its support, and, at another operation, Will release the bottle and, at the same time, release the cover thereon for its easy removal therefrom;

-The invent on consists in the novel construction, comb nation and arrangement of elements hereinafter described and claimed. ln e mrany ng d a n s illustrating the invention,

Referringto the drawings, 2 designates a supporting base which may-be of any suitable shape andsize for its intended purpose. The top of the, base 2 is provided with a yieldable, cushion pad 3 f rubber or other material j An object of my present invention isto pro-Y for the reception of a bottle 4 which rests thereon. i

The bottle 4 is provided with a cover 7 which rests upon the top of the neck 8 thereof. The cover 7 comprises a body portion 9 having a downwardly extending, annular flange 10 which surrounds the bottle neck 8 and positions the cover centrally thereon. The top of the cover 7 is provided with a centrally located, upwardly extending boss or projection 11 having a socket formed therein to receive a clamping member hereinafter re ferred to. Extending through the body ortion 9 of the cover 7 on respective sides 0 the boss 11 are inlet and outlet tubes 12 and 13, respectively. and, forwardly of the boss 11 is a filling funnel 14 the lower tubular portion 15 of which'extends through and forms a part of the body portion 9 of the cover 7 Theitubular portion15 of the funnel is provided with a" suitable valve 16 which may be opened to permit ether or other liquid to be poured into the bottle and which may be closed to prevent air from entering or leaving the bottle through the funnel. I The tubes 12 and 13 are fixed in the body portion 9 of the cover, and, as herein illustrated, the inlet tube 12 extends down into the bottle to a point near the bottom thereof so that it will discharge into ether or other liquid contained within the bott1e, and the outlet tube 13 extends only a short distance down into the bottle sothatits lower end will be above the ether or other liquid contained within the bottle.

' Within the flange 10 and secured to the body portion 9 of the cover? is a yieldable cushion ring of rubber 17 which is seated upon the top of the bottle neck 8 and which surroundsthe tubes 12 and 13 and thepassage in the lower end of the tubular bottom 15 portion of the funnel rubbertubes leading to a source of air presi (it.

sure and to an ether mask, respectively, when the device is used for vaporizing ether.

Rising fixedly from the base 2 rearwardly of the bottle 4 is a tub-ularpost 19,and slidably a spring 21 within the post. Therod 20 is pro- Y vided with a downwardly turned upper end portion 22 which overhangsthe bottlecover' 7 and carries a clamping member 23 the lower fitted within the post 19is a vertically movable rod 20 the lower end of which rests. upon end of which is constructed to engage the boss 11 on the bottle cover 7 The lower end of the member 23 has'a downwardly extending," rounded projection 24 adapted to; enter the socket in the boss 11. The "downwardly turned end portion 22 of the rod 20 is screw threaded and the clamping member .23 I1s screwed on to the same in a manner to permit the member to be adj ustedon the rod toward and .from the bottlev cover? by turning the member. I r 1 I Embracing the upper end portion of the 1 post 19 is a hand operated, bifurcated lever 25 which is tulcrumed, at 26, on-the post. The

lever 25 is connected by parallel links 27 to the. rod 20, asclearlyjshown in the drawings.

The relation of the lever 25 and 'links 27 to each otherand to the post 1 9 and rod 20 is ,suchthan 'whenthe lever 25 is raised to the position shown bydot-anddash lines in Figs. l and 4, the rod 20 and clamping member 23 will be raised to the position shown'by similar lines in Figs. 1, 2 andv l; and that-,- when the lever 25 islowered. to the position shown by full lines inFig. 4, the rod 20 and clamping member-23will be lowered to the position shown by similar lines in Figs. 1 and 2; I It willqnow be understood that when the V bottle 4: with itscover. 7 thereon is placed beneath the clamping memberv23 and the lever ;2.5;is moved down to the position shown by full lines in Fig. 4,111 cover 7 will be clamped hpon thebottle 4 and thecover 7and bottle 4 together will befirmly clamped between the P clamping member 23 and the base 2,

l the pad 3 and the ring 17 yielding, as the clamping number 23 moves to its final clampingposition, making a tight joint between the cover and the bottle and protectingthebottleagainst' breakage. It will be understood also" that when they lever 25 is I raised to the position Shown by dot-and-dash lines in Fig. 1-, the bottle and thecover, 7 will be freed, permitting the bottleeasilyto be removed from" the base andthe cover? easily. to be-removed from the b t 'e.- When the lever25 is moved down to theposition shown by full lines in Fig.4 to clamp the cover.7 and the bottle ea stop projection '28 on one linkv 27engaging one side of the lever 25' prevents further movement thereof;

and, j ust before "thestop 28 engages the lever 25, the center line passing through the pivoted ends' of each link 27 moves from one. side. of

they leverfulcrum 26 to the :otherside thereof so that the resiliency of the pad 3 and ring 17, tending to continue themovement of the lever 25, will hold'the stop 28 against the lever 25 and thereby hold the lever in the down or, Clamping position. When it isdesired to re'-. lease the bottle land cover 7,itis merely necessary to move the lever 25 back until'the center lines of the links27 pass thelever fulcrum 26, whereupon the spring 21will'rais'e the rod 20, clamping member 23 and lever 25 to the normal or unclamping positions'hown by dot and-dash lines in Fig. 4.

*Thepost 19 is provided with aforwardl projecting, bifurcated arm 30, open at its forward end to receive and properly position the bottle 4 and its-cover 17 beneath the clamping member 23 when the bottle 4 is'pla'ced upon the base, .2.

Whenth'ebottle 4 and its cover 17' are clamped between the base 2 and clamping member 23, the projection 24 on themember 23:.enters the socketin theboss 11 and thered after prevents'acoidental displacementof the bottle. andits cover from th p d P 3 I r I tion. I
