Equipment

Sears is now is selling enema equipment in their stores

I wish they would bring back the 40's and 50.s stuff.

There is nothing to beat the vintage Sears enema equipment that used to be sold in their catalogs!

I notice that on line enema equipment gear is increasingly open and bold about describing enema use and pleasure. I hope this and the new Sears enema listing will bring a more out of the closet exposure of the enema.

Wow! I just went searched Sears for enema and got 76 items everything from red bags (open and closed top) to 16 and 20 fr rectal tubes.

Hi All,

Just googled "Sears" and like hg said, they are there. None of the "Classic" stuff that we'd love though.

Hi all,

I have a very old Dierker enema machine and was wondering if anyone has any information on it.

It is large at about 3 feet tall. It has a large tapered, cylindrical, thick glass reservoir suspended in a large cast and polished aluminum frame work. It is beautifully made, and a gorgeous industrial looking piece of equipment. It was dis-assembled many years ago, I believe I have all the parts and I am looking information so that I can re-assemble it and make it functional again. I would love to find out more about this thing including how it functions and what its value may be. I have scoured the internet and have not been able to even find a picture of one. About the only thing I can find is the patent number featured on the machine.

The Dierker is a closed system, gravity type colonic machine. The glass cylinder fills up and is the reservoir for the water irrigating the colon. The best thing about the Dierker, to me anyway, is the large, heavy stainless steel speculum. You do have the speculum, don't you?

I can't give you any information on installation, I can tell you I have had many wonderful colonics with it years ago. They seem to be out of circulation now. They were more popular in the 1970's and earlier from what I have heard.

If you’ve got a patent number, have you tried looking up the patent? You can do that online, and it might well include drawings.

The patent number is 96534 issued in 1935. I was able to actually purchase a copy of the patent with drawings but they show elevation and top views only and give no description of operation or function of the internals. I have the internals in a box but am trying to figure out how it goes together.

You’ve possibly miscopied the number there: US Patent 96534 was issued in the 19th century and has nothing to do with colonic machines. But this might be relevant:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2024967.pdf

Filed Oct. 22, 1932, Patented Dec. 17 1935. Method and apparatus for rehabilitating peristalsis of the colon. 5 drawings and 7 pages of description.

The first paragraph of the description refers to an earlier Dierker patent no. 1,910,756 which I’ll leave to you to explore. But don’t pay for old patents! They’re available free on-line, go to http://www.freepatentsonline.com

With reference to the speculum that Switchablesusie mentioned, see also http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4626239.pdf

Filed Sep. 30, 1985, date of patent Dec. 2, 1986. Abstract: ‘A colonic lavaging machine has a pressure switch operable by pressure in a water supply line to a speculum. The pressure switch is coupled with a valve that cyclically controls the flow of waste water from the speculum’. 6 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures.

Thank you one-eyes for the time you have obviously spent on this but I think the patent number is correct.

if you go to

http://www.google.com/patents?id=kP5rAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA3&dq=96534&hl=en&ei=a6p6TtXvDaPTiALgvdGUBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=965

or if you go to google.com/patents and search for D96534 you will see this machine. I think the D means that it is a design related patent. Click on next (or left/right) to see images and the patent applicants vague description (Hugh E. Dierker). There are nice line drawings of it which don't really do it justice with its cast and polished aluminum construction. I have had this machine for 30 years and purchased the patent drawings before such things were readily available free over the internet.

As you will see the patent was granted on August 13, 1935. My assumption is that since patents expire, the numbers may be re-issued or maybe its the "D" designation which may of caused the confusion. The papers I have don't have the "D" on them but if you don't include it in the google search you will get a un-related 19th century item first.

I have occasionally searched the internet over the years and have never seen anything like this machine which is as pictured in the patent paperwork. There are many references to Dierker machines, a few images of them, but nothing I can find looks like this machine other than the patent listed above.

The previously mentioned speculum seems to be much more modern than this machine. Based on the links above its is much earlier than that. While the machine seems complete in and of itself I did not get the hose or what may of been attached to it.

You’re right, D96534 or Des. 96534 is a design patent, and the D or Des. is an essential part of the number. (I don’t believe they reuse old numbers ever, this is a distinct series.) What is claimed is exactly ‘the ornamental design for a colonic therapeutic apparatus, as shown’ i.e. in the drawings. A design patent won’t tell you anything about how the machine worked or was put together or even what it was made of, just its appearance. Other Dierker patents from that time or a little earlier might give some clues to its construction, but not necessarily the full picture. A patent for an invention only needs to disclose the principle of operation, not the detailed design. And parts of the apparatus which were not new, and therefore not patentable, might be merely indicated rather than illustrated. What you really need for your project is Dierker’s old design drawings, but good luck finding those!

If the machine originally had rubber parts, which is likely enough, they could have perished long ago and been discarded.

Could someone post some images of the famous Dierker enema machine?

I bet they dont sell the 4 quart stainless steal enema bucket i bought. It cost a pretty penny but its well made and will last till they bury my ass in the ground.

Ameneypaos,

Where did you find a 4qt. stainless steel Enema bucket? Was it some-

thing you made yourself with parts, or from a mail order? I'm sure

others are also interested in details.

Have you got to try it out yet?

Optimal Health, Kristina Amelong's site. 4 qt. stainless buckets are not cheap.

I like enemas as recreational kinky sex and/or a prelude to cleaner, more comfortable and therefore more enjoyable anal sex. It's obvious others see more to it than that. Is there an advantage, other than aesthetics, to using an expensive stainless steel bucket as opposed to, say, a clean plastic scrub bucket that can be had for a lot less money? Or is it comparable to having the finest Snap-On wrenches neatly lined up in a nice roller cabinet tool box as opposed to cheap Chinese tools thrown in to a rusty, dented old metal box that's been laying on a damp garage floor for years? I ask this seriously, not to be a smart ass. I, frankly, don't see the difference as long as the water flows from the container to the hose.

Hello curious44,

Just ask a real, self employed mechanic which set of tools he, (or she,) prefers to use. If its just an occasional job the cheap stuff might do the job or might break down and leave you stuck in the middle of a mess. That being said, I don't think that paying top dollar for each toy is necessary, just try to do a good job of assembling your toys and enjoy.

It comes down to, we Enema people will spend vast amounts on any type

of equipment that they think will enhance their Enema sessions. Trust

me, most everytime, the current "IT" item will be able to be justified

over how many wonderful sessions you will have with it.
