    N° 2214 A.D. 1900 Date of Application, 3rd Feb., 1900—Accepted, 17th Mar., 1900 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION. Improved Air and Steam Inhaling or Injecting Apparatus. • * I, Paul Bachmann, Hygeist, of Buhlau, near Dresden, in tlie Empire of n Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement: — o This invention for an improved air and steam inhaling or injecting apparatus relates to an arrangement whereby in inhalation or injection of both steam and air can be effected by means of one apparatus. In the accompanying drawings : — Fig. 1 is a vertical section of apparatus for air or steam inhalation or in- 10 jection. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively a vertical section of the apparatus, acting as an air inhaling or injecting contrivance, and a transverse section along the line x—x. Figs. 4 and 5 are respective!}’ a vertical section of the apparatus, acting as a steam inhaling or injecting contrivance, and a partial plan and transverse section 15 along the line z—2. The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures. In the example illustrated, the combined apparatus is detachable into four parts, the foot a, the centre b, the top c and the coyer d. The air purifier employed in connection with the inhaling of air is placed in. 20 the parts a and b, whilst the principal parts connected with the inhaling or injection of steam are contained within the top c. Several shelves or ledges e are introduced into a and b for the purposes of air inhalation ; thereby dividing a and b into several chambers f. These chambers are put into communication with one another by means of 25 openings g, formed in the ledges or shelves e and having small tube continua¬ tions h. , The openings g in the shelves e as well as the small tubes h are arranged therein alternately on opposite sides, thus if there be a current of air through the chambers, it will take a zig-zag course. The sides of the foot a are also furnished with several openings i and a pipe attachment il directly above these openings. The steam inhaling or injecting device contained in the top c, consists ot a vaporiser k and a heating apparatus l the combustion opening in which is closed by a cap I1. ... The heating apparatus is removeable. The vaporiser k has a small PM,(‘ extension kl at the top, running through the plate m, in which are se\eia openings nd for the circulation of the cool air. _ . The inhalation apparatus is closed by the cover d, having a central opening covered by means of some air purifying substance dl.. 40 For enabling the apparatus to act for the inhalation of air, the fo °wi g arrangement is adopted. (In connection therewith see Figfc. ~ and 6). [Price 8^.] 30 35
