This invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning the nose.
It is common to utilise a hand~erchief for cleaning the nose. To clean,
you blow by the nose in a handkerchief. Some garbages could be stuck in the
nostril and it could be hard to get rid of them. Cotton swab can also be used
when handkerchiefs are of no utilities. These different ways of cleaning the
nose could represent a lot of work for obtaining a certain efficiency.
I have discovered that these inconveniencies could be overcome by aspiring
the garbages from the se into a receiver that has been placed on a small
aspirator to clean the nose. This way, the receiver could collect the garbages
that could be stuck in the nostril, or get the garbages in a more direct way
and with less work,
This invention will be of great utility for persons that have not yet
learned or can't blow the nose in a handkerchief to get rid of garbages ac-
cumulated in the nose. A good respiratory aid to get good physical and mental
health. A well cleaned nose will permit the air to circulate with less diffi-
culties.

bage receiver or receiver of this embodiment but with no compartment
for receiving the garbages.
Figure 1 shows how somebody can utilise a portible aspiI~tor 5 for
cleaning the nose. The aspirator 5 is equiped with a garbage receiver
1 or receiver 1. The receiver 1 is pushed in one nostril for cleaning.
When the aspirator 5 is functionning, the air is aspirated in the
receiver 1, through the aspirator 5 for cleaning the nose and out
through openings 8 in the casing of the aspiratorO
For cleaning, we approach the aspirator 5 near the nose and ~e
let the receiver 1 penetrate in one nostril. The air so aspirated through
the receiver 1 will drive the dirtiness of the nose in the receiver 1.
After utilisation, the receiver 1 is thrown awayO
The schematical cross-sectional view of figure 2 shows a port~ble
aspirator 5 for cleaning the nose. We have an aspirator 5 complete with
a motor 7, the aspirating blades 6, and the receiver 1.
One end of the casin~ of the aspirator 5 is built in such a way to
form a mouth 3 to place a garbage receiver 1 in it. The termination 2
of the mouth of the aspirator 5 holds the receiver 1 in place, In the
casing at the other end of the aspirator 5 we have openings 8 to let the
air out of the receiver 5.
m e structure and the principle of aspiration of the aspirator 5
are substantially conventional, if it is that the dimentions of the as-
pirator 5 are well reduced. The principle of aspiration can be summed
up in this ways The functionning of the aspirating blades 6 forces the
air in the receiver 1, through the mouth 3 of the aspirator 5, through
the aspirating blades, through the motor 7 and out through the o~enings
8 in the casing of the aspirator 5.
m e aspirator 5 of figure 3 with a flexible hose 3 and compart_
ment 4 for the hose present the same characteristics as in figure 2~
The flexible hose 3 termination 2 is such that a receiver 1 can be place
in it. The hose equi~ed with the receiver 1 is ~ull near the nose for
cleaning, The casing can be constructed in such a way that -the aspira_
tor 5 for cleaning the nose can be fixed to a wall, or can he place on

~3--
a table or other locations,
The hose 3 can be put away in the compartment 4 for the hoseO The
ranging of the hose 3 could be done automatically or manually depending
on the mechanism provided in the compartment 4 for the hose 3,
In figure 3, it is the hose 3 equlped with a receiver 1 that we
approach the nose for cleaning. When the aspirator operates, the air
is aspirated in the receiver 1, through the hose 3, through the aspira-
ting blades 6, through the motor 7 and out through openings in the ca-
sing.
The aspirator 5 for cleaning the nose ~ of figur~s1,~,3, could be
equiped with controls which would stop the motor if the receiver 1 doesn't
permit enough air to go through the aspirator 5.
The schematical cross-sectional views of the garbage receiver 1
figures 4,5,6, or receiver 1 figur~ 4,5,6, of this embodiment are such
that they store, collect or receive the garbages from the nose. me
aspiration of the air through the receiver 1 figures4,5,6, create a
negative pressure at the entry 10 of the receiver 1 figures, 4,5,6, that
forces the garbages in the nose to be attracted in the receiver 1 figu_
res 4 or 5 or on the exterior screen portion of the receiver 1 figure
6 depending of the receiver 1 figures 4,5,6, utilized,
The termination 14 figures 4,5,6, of the receiver 1 figures 4,5,~,
is such that it will be retained by the termination 2 of the mouth ~ of
the aspirator 5 figure 2 or the termination 2 of the hose 3 of the as-
pirator 5 figure 3 for cleaning the nose.
The receiver 1 of figure 4 have a compartment 11 to receive, collect
or store the garbage asDirated from the nose through the entry 10 of
the receiver 1 figure 4. m e garba~es will be stop in the compartment
11 to receive, collect or store the garbage by a stop~ing screen l~.
The stopping screen 1~ will let the air through but will retain the gar-
3o bages in the compartment ll for receiving the garba~es. A filtre 13 then
filtre the air going through. m e -filtre will arrest s~all ~articles
that could go through the stopDing screen,
The receiver 1 of figllre 4 can be built without a stopping screen
provided that the filtre is good enough to keep the garbages inside the
com-Dartment to collect the garbages and to filtre the air ~oing through.

The receiver 1 of figure 5 have the same characteristic as in
figure 4 but is such that a deflector 18 inside the receiver 1 flgure
5 will route the garbages in the compartment 11 to receive, collect
or stored the garbagas through the entry 10 of the receiver 1 figure 5.
The deflector 18 figure 5 ranges the garbages in the compartment 11 to
receive, collect or stored the garbages so that they won't obstruct
the passage of the air through the receiver. Holes 17 in the lower
part of the deflector 18 will allow the aspirated air to go through
the receiver 1 figure 5. ~ filtre 13 then filtre the air going through.
The filtre 13 will arrest small particles that could go through the
holes 17 on the lower part of the deflector 18.
The aspirated air through the receiver 1 of figure 6 will attract
the garbages from the nose on the screen portion of the receiver 1 figure
6 then filtre the air going through. The filtre will arrest small part-
icles that could go through the stopping screen.
