GODFREY BEAUMONT, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
VAPORIZER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 788,345, dated April 25, 1905.
Application filed October 3, 1904. Serial No. 227,053.To all whowb it may concern:
Be it known that I, GODFREY BEAUMONT, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas,
in the county of Dallas and State of Texas,
5 have invented certain new and useful Improve-
ments in Vaporizers; and I do hereby declare
the following to be a full, clear, and exact de-
scription of the invention, such as will enable
others skilled in the art to which it appertains
10 to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in
medical apparatus, and particularly to that
class of improvements set forth in my Letters
Patent No. 741,996,.issued October 20, 1903,
15 of which this application is an improvement.
The object of the present invention is the
provision of means for producing medicinal
vapor under pressure and at'any desired tem-
perature.
20 Another object of the invention is to im-
prove the construction of a simple and dura-
ble apparatus which comprises a minimum
number of parts, such parts being so assem-
bled as to produce an inexpensive and efficient
25 construction.
With these and other object in view the in-
vention consists in certain novel constructions,
combinations, and arrangements of parts, as
will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated
30 in the accompanying drawings, and more par-
ticularly pointed out in the claims hereto ap-
pended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view. in side
elevation of an apparatus constructed in ac-
35 cordance with the present invention. Fig. 2
is a vertical central sectional view of the ap-
paratus depicted in Fig. 1 with the cannula
removed therefrom. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary
sectional view of the apparatus at right an-
40 gles to the section in which Fig. 2 is taken of
the medicine-containing compartment. Fig.
4 is a fragmentary sectional view of the ap-
paratus, showing the base portion of the pump
and the means whereby the same is secured to
45 the compressed-air reservoir.
Referring to the drawings by reference-
numerals, 1 designates a compressed-air tank
or reservoir forming the base of the appara-tus and to which is secured a pump 2. Se-
cured above the compressed-air tank 1 is a 50
medicine-casing 3, which is carried upon the
tank in parallel position with a cylindrical cas-
ing 4, within which is removably positioned a
lamp 5 of ordinary construction.
While the compressed-air tank or reservoir 55
is preferably cylindrical in construction, it
will be obvious that other modifications may
be resorted to within the scope of the present
invention. The pressure in the compressed-
air tank 1 is designed to be retained at any 6o
suitable height by means of the pump. The
pump 2 is provided with a support or base
which comprises a base member 6, which is
secured to the compressed-air tank 1, and ris-
ing from said base member 6 is a vertical 65
standard 7, which is enlarged at 8 and is se-
cured to the base of the cylindrical casing of
the pump. Secured the spherical enlarge-
ment 8 of the standard 7 and connected with
the compressed-air tank 1 is a horizontal tub- 70
ing 9. A connecting member 10 is secured in
parallel position to tubing 9, to the pump 2,
and tank 1. A right-angled air-passage 11 is
formed in the standard 7 and tubing 9, as is
shown by broken lines, Fig. 4. A plunger 75
12, which is provided with a handle 13, is re-
movably secured by ordinary means within
the cylindrical casing of the pump. The com--
pressed air is forced from the pump 2 into the
tank 1 through the air-passage 11. 8o
The auxiliary casing 4, which is secured
above.the compressed-air tank 1, is provided
with a removable cover 14. The cover 14 is
provided with a central opening 15, through
which the.wick and neck portion of lamp 5 ex- 85
tend when the lamp is positioned within the
auxiliary casing and the cover is placed there-
on. For the purpose of extinguishing the
wick when the same is ignited a removable cap
16, preferably formed of glass or analogous 90
material, is positioned upon the cover 14.
An integral tubular extension.17, is formed
at a right angle upon the upper portion of
the compressed-air tank 1, to which is secured
the medicine-casing 3, which is preferably 95
constructed cylindrical in shape. A valveNo, 788,845.
