ADELE MULLIGAN, or NEW YonK, it Y.
SURGICAL-INSTRUMENT SUIlORT.
Application filed J'u1y 12, 1923. Serial No. 651,004..
' To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, ADELE MUL IGAN, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful' Improvements in Surgicallnstrument Supports, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to adjustable supporting devices adapt-ed especially to sup port one or more surgical instruments.
More particularly, this invention relates to an adjustable support for an apparatus employed in the electrical removal of superfluous hair. Devices of the latter kind usually employ a plurality of needles, one or more of which are adapted to be used at a time. It is one object of my invention to provide a support for an apparatus of this kind which will permit the ready movement of the various needles or instruments relative to each other independently of each other, without interference of anykind- It is a further object of this invention to provide a support, for the electrical conducting means, which is simple in construction and to which said conductor may be attached withoutdismantling the device and after the support has been fully set up. For
this purpose I provide preferably solid flat supporting members, provided with loops on the outside thereof, so that the conductor may be drawn through said loops and thus he supported upon said supporting members.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the .invention consisting substantially in the novel arrangement and corelation of instrumentalities herein fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings Considered together or separately and then finally pointed out and specifically defined and. indicated in the appended claims. V
An example of a preferred embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which: wlig l i s a side elevation of the device embodying my iiivention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a side vertical section through the forward portion of the support.
Fig. 5 is a modified form of the device shown in Fig. 4. i r Referring to the drawings, there is shown a base 10 which may be mounted upon the floor or upon a table and which may be provided with casters 11 for'ready move-' ment upon said floor or table. Fixed to the base 10 is a standard 12 upon the upper end of which is adapted to be swivelly connected an arm or link 13. The connection may comprise a fork 15 on the end of one of the members, as, for instance, on the end of link 13, into which fits a projection 16 on'the upper end of standard 12, a bolt 17 passing through said fork and said projection and having a thumb screw 18 threaded on its outer end so that the link 13 may be set at any desired angle relative to the standard 12. Connected to the other end of link 13, as by a swivel joint 20 similar to that between link 13 and standard 12, is a second arm 21 provided at its outer end. with an upturned portion 22 carrying at its upper end'a laterally extending rail or guide member 25. Mounted upon said rail are a plurality of carriers 26, each provided at one end with a pair of rollers 27 adapted to engage opposite edges of said rail. In the form shown in Fig. 4, said rollers are inclined to engage diagonally opposite edges of the rail 25, which is here shown rectangular in cross section, so that the carriers 26 cannot be either mounted upon or detached from said rail in any manner. except by rolling them completely off the ends of said rail. Both. the shape of the rail and the form of the rollers may be modified at will, the same general principle being observed, thatis, that the rollers shall have flanges to grip the rail and prevent accidental detachment of the carriers. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the rail is shown rectangular as in the Fig. 4. device, but the rollers 47 are not inclined but engage the full opposite side edges of said rail. If desired, the "carriers 26 may be slidably mounted upon said rail, thus obviating the use of rollers and necessitating merely suitable flanges engaging around the edges ofrthe' rail, its shown, the carriers are mounted with thelr longitudinal axes at right angles to the direction of their movement along the rail. The rail is here shown straight, thus resulting in rectilinear movement of the carriers, but it will be understood that the same would apply if the rail were curved or shaped in any other manner to provide. for example, curvilinear inoveineut oi the carriage. The carriers 26 extend outwardly :troiuthc rent a prede toriuiucd distance and from the ends of said carriers are adapted to be suspended the needles 30. Each needle has connected thereto a terrible conductor ill which passes througl'i hol s 353 3%),in the carrier blade e. to provide suiiicicnt friction between the flexible conductor and the carrier. to inanitanu the needle in any set position, said flexible comluctor being united at a point o'l't said strips without any tendency to rollw or to be displaced.
it will thus be observed that the support comprising: base 10, standard 12, arms 1 and ll and rail :2?) 11111" always be fully-set up as a unit and that the electrical appa ratus may he. applied to saidwlully set up supportWhenever desired, that: is, the source o'l current all) is positioned upon the bracket --t it the able do is drawn tlu'i'iug h the loops 3t; and the indivii'lual cinuluctoi's ill passed through the openings in the respective car riers l to the needles ll), it will be l urlihcr apparent that the carriers so may he operated independei'itly ot each. olhcn the rail i being made long; enough so that all but the arriers in use may be moved to some inelleciive position near the etulso'i. the rail. l lach carrier is tree to move andin said ,taovcinent does not cause corres iirnu'liugr ioveinenti oi the other :arricrs because it as no ungrugon. t-i trictional'or otherwise ith said carrier in accnri'lanrc \vitirtlie provisions oi the pateut statute, l havedescrilaut the priir ciple til llly'lllYtilllittll. togtrether with the an parutna \vhiclrl uow considcr to represent a tnaclical embodiment thereo libut l desiie it understood that my invention is not coni lllltrili(l the particular l oi'lu ol' apparatus lua'einshon'n and described, the same being inercly illustrative, iandthat the inventioncan be carried outin other ways without departing from the spirit. of the invention and therefore, 1 claim broadly the rightto employ all equivalent instruuieutalities coiningWithin the scope of the appended claims, and by means of which the objects oi my invention are attained, and the new a pedestah an arm carried by said pedestal,
a rail supported by and in transverse rela tion to saitharnr anda plurality oi. independent 1 instrument carriersslidable on said rail, each provided with depending members to clasptheorail and prevent anpgulax iiiisplacenient of said terriers thereon.
