    N° 14,518 A.D. 1892 Date of Application, 11th Aug., 1892 Complete Specification Left, 11th May, 1893—Accepted, 17th June, 1893 PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION. Improvements in Inhalers. I, James George Ingram, of Felstead Street, Hackney Wick, in the County of Middlesex, India Rubber Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :— The invention has for its object an improved inhaler which involves no waste of o drug or preparation, is easily cleaned and is always ready for use. For this purpose I employ a pot of any suitable shape and material and preferably provided with a handle. This pot is also provided with a cover fitting over the top thereof; this cover is provided with a central short tube or opening through which is passed an india rubber inhaling tube the lower end of which 10 latter is formed with a thickened rib or ring around the same so that by drawing it up against the interior of the cover a tight joint is made at such part. The cover is also preferably provided with air holes or provision may be otherwise made to admit air so as to allow the vapour to be drawn off freely. The pot is provided with a central holder to receive a small bottle or jar to 15 contain the drug or preparation and this guide is so formed as to give free access of the hot water in the pot to the exterior of the bottle or jar. In using the inhaler the bottle or jar is supplied with a drug or preparation, the pot is supplied with a quantity of hot water and the bottle or jar is placed in its holder in the hot water : the cover is then placed over the pot and the patient 20 applies the free end of the rubber tube or a mouth piece fitted thereto to his mouth when he will be enabled to inhale the vapour given off. The cooled water can be readily thrown away after first removing the bottle or jar from the pot and a fresh supply of hot water can be placed in the pot from time to time as may be required. 25 Dated August 11th 1892.
