IMPROVEMENT IN CASE FOR HOLDING SYRINGES.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, Morris Mattson, of the city of New York, in the county of New York, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Syringe-Case; and Γdo hereby declare that the.following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and making a part of this specification.

. Syringes, as now usually constructed, are provided with three or four, and sometimes even greater number, of injecting-tubes or detachable part?, all Of which are put loosely into a common case with the syringe. Such tubes and detachable parts are thus-liable to rub against each other, and against the metallic parts of the syringe, thus marring and doing injury to the finely-finished metallic surfaces, and also rubbing against and discoloring, and sometimes injuring the other portions of the syringe. The several parts of the syringe, when thus placed in a common box or case, also shake about and rattle unpleasantly when the instrument is carried temporarily in the pocket or about the person, as is necessary previous to use.

My improved syringe-case is intended to obviate all these objections. The syringe and its different tubes and connections, as many as are required, can be carried without noise or rattling, all are kept distinct and separate from each other, and are prevented rubbing against one another, or against the other parts of the syringe, and syringe and tubes are made to occupy.but a small space.

_ Figure 1 is a view of such a syringe with its-removable tray and case, the several tubes and parts of the syringe in position therein.

Figure 2 shows the same case with its tray removed.

Figure 3 shows the removable tray, with the tubes, &amp;c., taken out of it.

The case or box A, shown more plainly in fig. 2,> is made just about long enough to receive the elastic bulb a, and the section b of the inlet-tube connecting with it, and but a little wider and higher than such bulb a. Sufficient room is also left, within such case or box, to coil and stow the elastic discharging-tube c, and also to receive an additional detached elastic tube d. Fitting within such case, and in its upper part, is placed a shallow tray, B, figs. 1, 3, the bottom of which at one end is cut away in an oblong opening, e, as seen more plainly at e, in fig. 3, so that when such tray is placed within the case A, resting on the supports/, fixed in the corners of the box or case, the. bulb a will pass up through such opening e, as seen in fig. 1, nearly to the top thereof. Such opening in the tray should not, however, be so large as to permit the bulb a to pass through it. The supports/are so placed in the case..that when the lid C of the case is closed, such lid will cause the tray to set closely down upon the supports/, and also hold the bulb properly in position. Except for such opening e, the tray would· have to rest upon the bulb, thereby being-liable to be upset and disarranged, and would not rest in its seat, until pressed down by the closing of the lid, or the height of the case wouldriiave to be considerably increased. '

In the end of the tray, opposite to that in which the opening e is made to receive the bulb a, and allow the tray to set over such bulb, as described, are fixed a couple of cross-pieces, g g, which are grooved or recessed, so as to receive and securely hold the different injecting-tubes, 1 2 3 4, required, and also°an extension inlettube 5. A spray-tube, 6, may also be inserted, if desired.

The tray has sufficient room, without interfering with the bulb, to give a separate place for all necessary injecting-tubes, whereby they are securely hold and prevented from rubbing against one another, or the different parts of the syringe, and from which, when the lid is closed and fastened, they cannot be displaced. All unpleasant noise or rattling is also thereby prevented. When the case is opened, the bulb and the several .injecting-tubes, &amp;c., are not only tastefully displayed, but convenient for. ready use.
