A New or Improved Apparatus for Treating Animal Colics or Gripes. I, Anton Hepnaji, of 20, Iionigstor, Kassel, in the Empire of Germany, Coachman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: — My invention relates to a new or improved enema or apparatus for treating animal colics or gripes by evacuating the feces from the large intestine, filling 0 the entrails with water mixed with curatives and assisting the healing process by insufflating antiseptic gases. The new apparatus essentially consists of a double-acting pump arranged for sucking and expelling water at the bottom and air at the top, a mixing vessel provided with a perforated box for drugs or medicaments and arranged for developing smoke or gases from the drugs or 10 medicaments and mixing them with the air, a three-way cock for the passage of either the water or the mixture of air and smoke or gas, a device for opening the water suction valve of the pump in case the mixture of air and smoke or gas is passed through the three-way cock, two hoses one within the other, a mouthpiece to be introduced into the animal anus, and a switching device for 15 arbitrarily passing the water or the mixture of air and smoke or gas from the three-way cock to the animal body through the internal hose or through the space between the two hoses while allowing the dirty water or gases to return through the annular space between the two hoses or through the internal hose respectively and to escape, or not allowing the same to escape. I will now proceed to describe my invention with reference to the accom¬ panying drawings, in which— Fig. 1 is an elevation of the whole apparatus, a part of the two hoses being omitted, 20 Fig. IS a side view of the upper part of the mixing vessel, seen in the 2d direction from right to left in Fig. 1, Figs. 4 to 9, inclusive, show the two parts of the switching device in different positions and will be referred to later on, Fig. 10 is a cross section of the plug of the three-way cock and shows its position, when its lever q occupies the position illustrated at Fig. 1, 30 Fig. 11 shows the position of this plug on the lever q occupying the other extreme position indicated by the dotted line at Fig. 1, Fig. 3. is a plan of the lower valve box and the three way cock, the pump and the mixing vessel being omitted and the lever q shown in section, Fig. 12 is a longitudinal section on an enlarged scale through the switching 3d device on the line A—B in Fig. 8. Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views. The pump P comprises a bottom valve box G, a cylinder b screwed thereon, a cover T and a pistons, which latter is connected with a rod 8 passing through [Price 8<7.]
