Description
Nov. 8 1938. M. J. BELMONT- 2,135,932
FLUID IMPREGNATING DEVICE Filed July 19, 1937 Hm...- I u INVENTOR 164mm I A TORNEY Patented Nov. 8, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFlCE 5 Claims.
This invention relates to a fluid impregnation device and more specifically to a device to be used in impregnating, with solvents, -etc., water to be used in washing the human body or parts 5 thereof.
In generaL it is an object of the invention to provide a device of the character described, which will efficiently perform the purposes for which it is intended, which is simple and economical of construction, which can be expeditiously, conveniently and safely manipulated, and which can be readily manufactured and assembled.
Another object of the invention is to provide an impregnating device which conserves the impregnating matter; to provide such a device wherein the impregnating material, as it dissolves, is not in the main path of the fluid which is being dispensed; and to provide such a device which may be detachably added to a shower bath.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and, will in part appear hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts, which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a device embodying one form of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a view in elevation, partly in section and partly cut away, of the device shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view of the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2 taken along the line 33 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a side view of a modification of one of the elements of the device.
Heretofore there have been difficulties present in connection with apparatus which was intended to introduce material which dissolved or mixed with water to be used' in bathing. One trouble was that more material dissolved than was necessary. This raised the cost of operation because bath salts are expensive. It also required constant refillinga time-consuming nuisance. Devices embodying the present invention have done away with these and other drawbacks and have permitted the introduction of various materials at rates suitable for each.
In the drawing, I denotes a casing which may 55 be of almost any shape. It is shown as a hollow circular cylinder providing a chamber l2 therein. An inlet and an outlet are provided. The inlet it may be at the upper end and may comprise a tube positioned centrally of one end and threaded on its inner surface. The outlet it may be a tube leading from the other end and positioned eccentrically with respect to the axis of the device. It may be threaded ,on its outer surface outside of the device.
Means are present which provide a second chamber. Thus, a hollow plug or tube 68 having threads 20 at one end is held within the chamber l2 by those threads which are in engagement with threads 22 on the inside of an opening 2 in the casing. Opening 2 may be on the same side of the device as outlet it. The tube It is perforated with a plurality of openings 26. Means are provided for preventing passage through the openings 26 of solid material from the chamber 28 within the plug Hi. This may take the form of a cylindrical wire mesh 30 positioned on the inside of the tube It. The inner end of the plug may have a removable cap 32 which may or may not have openings 34 therethrough. There is a cap 36 attached to the plug outside of casing It.
Any material which may be desired to impregnate the water flowing through the device is put into the plug It. The plug is positioned so that the main line of flow between the inlet M and the outlet l6 does not pass through the plug. The size and number of the openings 2% depend upon the amount of material which is to be added to the Water and upon the solubility of the material if the addition thereof to the water depends upon its solubility. If the water is not to pass through the entire length of the plug, all of the plug need not be within the chamber l2. Openings 26, however, should communicate with chamber l2. It is not necessary that the inlet and outlet be on opposite sides of the device but this form is convenient.
A device with the form shown may be attached to an ordinary shower, the inlet l4 being screwed on to the shower inlet pipe (not shown). The shower spray head, or the conduit leading there to, (neither shown), may be attached to the outlet 16. The position of the parts of the shower are usually such that inlet I 4 will be on the upper side and outlet 16 on the lower side, although this 50 is not necessary. The openings 26 may be at the lower end of the tube so that as the material in the tube is used, it falls toward the openings. In'case the parts are not positioned so as to maintain material near the openings, or in case the 5 ,along a desired amount of the material.
material is not dispensed rapidly enough, or for any other reason, the cap 32 may have openings 34 which lead to the chamber I2 50- that water may flow or seep through the entire length of the plug.
The size of the openings may be controlled by means, for example, those shown in Fig. 4. There may be an outer sleeve 38 around at least a portion of the tube l8. This sleeve may have openings I26 therethrough which, upon the rotation of the sleeve, register wholly or in part with openings 26 of the tube. The sleeve may be positioned on the inside of the tube and may be used in conjunction with the screen or it may have a screen in or over each of the openingsv I26.
The operation of the device will be apparent from the foregoing description. When it is first put in use, the plug !8 is removedby unscrewing it and it is filled with any desired material. The plug is then reinserted into the device and water or other liquid is passed therethrough. The main-flow of the liquid does not pass through the materials in the plug. A certain amount of liquid filters in and out of the openings 26, taking This action may be brought about by the solution of the material or its change into very small particles. The screen 30 prevents. solid material other than minute particles from being swept out. After the material has been used up, the plug may be refilled.
Since certain changes may be made in the above construction and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
spaced from the direct line of flow betweensaid inlet and outlet means of the first-mentioned chamber, and means adapted for preventing the passage of solid material through said inlet and outlet means of said second chamber while said last-mentioned means are in operation, said second chamber being at least in part positioned within said first chamber.

3. Ina water-impregnating device, the combination comprising means providing a chamber, inlet means leading into an upper surface of said chamber, outlet means leading out of a lower surfaceof said chamber, a removable hollow plug positioned in the lower surfac'evof and extending into said chamber, there being perforations in the wallof said plug leading between said chamber and, the-interior: of said plug,.none of said:
perforations being in the direct line of flow throughsaid chamber and noneof saidperforations being inthe direct-line of flow into said chamber.
