    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    (6) With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, an example of the instant enema applicator device employing the principles and concepts of the present enema applicator device and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

    (7) Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5, the present enema applicator device 10 is illustrated. The enema applicator device 10 includes a manual pump 20, a frustoconical connector 22, an applicator portion 24, an aperture 26, a rubberized bulb cover 28, a tube cover 30, and a rubberized connector cover 32. The pump 20 has a removable bulb portion 34 and an L-shaped tube 36. The tube 36 of the pump 20 has a right side perpendicularly disposed with a left side 40. Each of the bulb portion 34 of the pump 20 and the tube 36 of the pump 20 has an exterior surface 42. The connector 22 has a top side 44, a bottom side 46, and an opening 48 continuously disposed through the connector 22 from the top side 44 of the connector 22 to the bottom side 46 of the connector 22. The bottom side 46 of the connector 22 is attached to the right side 38 of the tube 36 of the pump 20.

    (8) The applicator portion 24 has a frustoconical base 50 and an applicator tube 52. The base 50 of the applicator portion 24 is removably disposed within the opening 48 of the connector 22 proximal the top side 44 of the connector 22. The applicator tube 52 of the applicator portion 24 is medially attached to a top surface 54 of the base 50 of the applicator portion 24. The aperture 26 is medially and continuously disposed through the base 50 of the applicator portion 24 from the top surface 54 of the base 50 of the applicator portion 24 to a bottom surface 56 of the base 50 of the applicator portion 24.

    (9) The bulb cover 28 is continuously disposed around the exterior surface 42 of the bulb portion 34 of the pump 20. The tube cover 30 is continuously disposed around the exterior surface 42 of the tube 36 of the pump 20 from the left side 40 of the tube 36 of the pump 20 to proximal the right side 38 of the tube 36 of the pump 20. The connector cover 32 is continuously disposed around the exterior surface 42 of the connector 22 from the top side 44 of the connector 22 to the tube cover 30.

    (10) The enema applicator device 10 optionally further comprises a connector cap 58 and a removably disposable wall-mounted rack 60. The connector cap 58 is removably and continuously disposed over the top side 44 of the connector 22. The rack 60 has a horizontally disposed tray portion 62.
