UNITED STATES PATENT UFFrc THOMAS SIMMONS, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-THIRD TO HIRAMJ. WIERS, OF SAME PLACE.
TRUSS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,951, dated December I2, 1882.
Application filed August 15, 1882. (Modem To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS SIMMONS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of (Jonnecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trusses and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part [0 of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of my invention; Fig. 2, an elevation of the body or inner side of the pad; Fig. 3, a
similar View of the outer side of the same; Fig. 4, a detail sectional view of the pad; Fig. 5, a detail view of the adj listing-plate and portion of the belt; Figs. (Sand 7, detail views of the connecting eye-pieces, and Fig. 8 a detail view of the belt-support.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvementsin trusses for the support of hernia, the objects thereof being to provide such a truss as will be light and simple in its construction, readily applied, and quickly adjusted to the body, and from the peculiar shape of the pads and their attachments the hernia may be held in place after reduction with a gentle pressure, thus giving ease and comfort to the wearer. These objects I attain, by the construction substantially as shown in the drawings, and hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents a support formed of avertical piece, a, and right-angle pieces be, of metal or other suitablematerial. To the lower right-angle piece, 0, of this support is affixed a belt, B, which is intended to fit snugly to the hips of the wearer,
the ends thereof counectingwith a plate, 0,
0 which holdsin place the pads D. These pads D are made of wood, hard rubber, celluloid, or other suitable material, of an elliptical shape, having their lower extremities upon their interior faces raised in theform of ribs d,asillustrated by Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawings, to exert an inwardly-yielding pressure upon the hernia, to accommodate it to themovemen-ts of the body, this pressure being similar to that exerted by the fingers of the human hand, by
which it is well known that herniaof most kinds may be readily supported, especially that known as inguinal hernia. These pads are affixed to plates E, provided with brackets e, inwhich works a thumh-screw,f, which engages with perforations g in the plate 0 to adjust the pads thereon, the ends of the said thumb-screws sinking into depressions h in the pads,th us admitting of their beingscrewed up close to the brackets upon the plates E, outof the way. The plate 0 is also provided at its ends with a series of eyes, i, engaging with buttons or books toloosen or tighten the belt.
To the back of the belt B are suitably connected straps F, which pass between the limbs of the wearer and connect with the pads by means of eye-pieces G, Fig. 6, secured thereto, said eye-pieces passing between the plate E and the bracket 6 thereon, and held in place by the thumb-screw f, passing through the eye I andengaging with the plate 0, as before described.
To the right-angle piece I) of the support A is affixed a belt, H, which fits just above the pelvicregionof the wearer,and extends around and connects with the pads by means of eyepieces I, Fig. 7, connected to the ends of the said belt and provided with elongated eyes in,
which couple upon buttons or hooks it upon the plates E of the pads at their upper ends.
By constructing a truss in the manner described the pads bear upon the hernia with an upwardly-yielding pressure, keeping it in its place and supporting the abdomen to relieve the rupture from the weight of the intestines.
From the arrangementofthe belts and straps in conjunction with the perforated plate having a series of eyes upon its ends the truss is readily adjusted to the body of the wearer and the pads to the exact location of the hernia.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In a truss, the pads I), adjustably connected to the plate 0, which in turn is adjustably connected to the ends of the belt B, in combination with the belt H, straps .F, and the support A, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a truss, the support A, formed of a vertical piece, a, and right-angle pieces I) c, in
