Abstract: The container of this invention is accordion-pleated and is provided in a collapsed condition for normal shipment. Just prior to use, one end of the container is opened and filled with water. Powder or a tablet is usually provided in the container for mixing with water. The cover of the closure has an air valve which includes a ball, slightly spring loaded, and a closure valve contained in a remotely carried nozzle attachment. This valve is manipulated to an open condition and is closed by pressure on the extending wing or flanged portions of the valve. The closure end of the container is preferably connected by flexible tubing to the valve which is also secured to the nozzle.

Abstract: A feminine syringe unit wherein a housing with a valve member and nozzle serve as both a filling and dispensing port for an expandable syringe bag. The syringe unit includes a removable nozzle retainer which has slidably secured thereto a nozzle member. When the nozzle member is removed, the bag is easily filled through a filling orifice and a dispensing flap valve. For cleaning and drying purposes, the valve is also removable from the bag by means of its being engaged by a valve retainer which in turn is threadably engaged on a bag retainer. The unit is activated by moving the nozzle toward the bag whereby the inlet portion of the nozzle will abut against a flap valve so as to create fluid communication between the inside of the bag and the nozzle. A hold-open means is also provided for the nozzle inlet portion in the valve member so that when a force is exerted on the bag to eject liquid through the nozzle it will not force the valve closed.

Abstract: A closure for a syringe of the feminine or enema type wherein the nozzle of the syringe is intended to be transported separately from the flexible bag. The neck of the flexible bag which has a bead is secured on a support ledge of an inner connecting member which threadably receives the nozzle. An outer connecting member having spaced internal flange members is snap fitted over the inner connecting member to engage a portion of the bag and resiliently hold it against the inner connecting member. In a preferred manner, an accommodating compartment is formed between the two connecting members to accommodate the bead of the bag.

Abstract: An expandable syringe comprising a bag having an opening through which liquid may pass. A closed end tubular view stem projects outwardly from the bag opening and has an orifice in the side thereof in fluid communication with the interior of the bag. A nozzle has a female coupler sized to be movably mounted about the valve stem. The nozzle coupler has a valve seat against which the valve stem closed end may operationally engage in controlling the flow of liquid between the bag and nozzle. The bag may comprise a corrugated container or a shell having first and second openings and flexible pocket mounted to the shell sealing the first opening and sized for maneveur into and out of the shell through the first opening to displace liquid out of the shell. A nozzle or sprinkler cap may be detachably mounted to the shell over the second opeing.

Abstract: An expandable syringe comprising an elastic bag having an opening through which liquid may pass and a nozzle having a tubular body defining a central passageway and a tip on an end thereof. The nozzle is provided with at least one peripheral port in fluid communication with the tubular body central passageway. A mount is also provided for detachably mounting the nozzle to the elastic bag with the tubular body central passageway in valve controllable fluid communication with the elastic bag opening.Means for storing and readily obtaining access to a set of individually proportional and encapsulated chemical agents for successive use with an expandable syringe comprising a case and a unitary slit jacket sized to hold juxtaposed envelopes encapsulating the agents and sized to be slidably received within the case. The jacket has a pair of juxtaposed tabs adapted to be manually gripped in sliding the jacket into and out of the case.

Abstract: This invention contemplates a liquid filled sealable flexible bag having a manipulative discharge tube or nozzle. As a vaginal douche the discharge tube is removably equipped with a vaginal fitting which telescopically engages the tube. Positive closing means of the discharge tube is provided. The filled and plugged bag, complete with vaginal fitting, may be encased in a sealed envelope which in turn is conveniently accommodated in a purse-like flexible case. To use the device after breaking the sealed envelope, the vaginal fitting is removed and the douche is ready for administration. In addition to the syringe there is disclosed an enema bag and including manipulative valve shutoff means.

Abstract: A bag for pets, particularly dogs, is made of impervious flexible material. A slide closure opening at the top allows the pet to be placed in the bag. Closure is by the slide fastener at the top and draw strings at the four terminal ends of the legs and around the neck of the pet leaving the head and paws exposed. Through appropriately positioned nozzle conduits the spray is introduced into the bag. Deflectors at the end of each nozzle conduit prevent direct contact of the induced spray on the skin of the pet within the bag. Absorbent pads or discs at the conduits receive and retain any droplets of spray for later evaporative release.

Abstract: This invention discloses improvements in accordion-style containers used with syringes, douches and the like. These improvements pertain to both prefilled, disposable, reusable syringe and douche containers and accessories used therewith. Among the novel constructions of containers is included a barium enema container in which the side is made with a flattened portion to provide a positive rest position on a flat surface such as a floor with the outlet of the container in a positive elevated condition. A contoured end on a prefilled, disposable douche container is adapted to act as a plug or dam against an unwanted escape of fluid. A sliding plug of like contour may be carried on tubing which is used with a douche or enema container. Among the accessories is a nozzle having outwardly directed jet outlets adjacent and to the rear of a parabolic cone. Molded nozzles having large transverse outlets are also shown as is a stand and container providing an additional barium enema supply.
