" J. TEUSGHER, Jr. SUASPENSAORY BANDAGE.
Patented Dec. 518
UNITED. STATES PATENT O FIC JOHN TEUSOHER, 3a, or BRIDAL VEIL, OREGON.
SUSPENSORY BANDAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 531,232, dated December 18, 1894.
Application filed July 25, 1894.
in suspensory bandages, and it consists in a suspensory bandage which is provided with a roll or pad of absorbent material at its upper rear edge, which is also provided with rubber connections between the divided portions of the belt, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
The object of my invention is to provide a suspensory bandage which is not only made of absorbent material, but is supported in such a manner that it will not slip down, will always adjust itself to the person of the wearer, and is simple and durable in construction.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a suspensory bandage which embodies my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the lineoc 00, of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective of the rubber connection which unites the two parts of the belt.
A represents the suspensory bag which is preferably made of cotton flannel, not only because this material absorbs perspiration, but because it is soft and durable. Other absorbent materials may be used such as silk, or silk knitting, but cotton flannel is preferred because it has been found best adapted for this purpose. The bag is made of two pieces of material which are sewed together by two scams or all around its outer edges, so
, that if it should be slightly too small the outer row of stitches can be ripped open, and the bag thus correspondingly enlarged. Applied to theupper rear edge of the bag is the roll or pad B of velvet, which extends nearly across the top of the bag. This roll or pad decreases the size of the suspensory bag, and fits just behind the testicles of the wearer. It gives a firm yet easy support, it holds the bag in place, and assisted by the short straps O preserves its shape. This roll or pad must Serial No. 518,569. (No model.)
not extendthe. whole width,so that the sides of the bag may adjust themselves to the parts more easily. Through the front of the bag is made the usual opening through which the penis'passes. Attached to the two upper corners of the bag are the two short straps or belts O, which are adjusted to the bag at such an angle as to pull sidewise as well as upward. These two bolts 0 are quite short, and are made separate from the main belt G,'but connected thereto by the elastic strips I. These elastic strips are placed on the outer side of. the belt, so as to be protected from perspiration from the body at that point where the ends of the straps and belts meet. These two short pieces of elastic are applied at the points shown, and help to make the suspensory bandage self-adj usting and comfortable to the wearer.
Fastened to the main belt G just above the elastics is the auxiliary cross belt J which extends across the abdomen at such a point as not to interfere with abdominal breathing. This belt is left about two inches too long, so
that a corpulent man can adjust the same enough to enable the two short belts C to fit in the groins. By means of this auxiliary cross belt, the belt G can be tightened and held at exactly the same height during the entire day without inconvenience. It is this tendency of the bag to slip down out of place that necessitates the use ofv elastic in the suspensorybandage and often straps around the thighs in some of the suspensory band, ages now in use, which makes them uncomfortable and often painful.
Where asuspensory bandage is constructed as here shown, fits the person, and is made of absorbent material so as to absorb the perroll or pad extending partially across the upper rear edge of said bag, a pair of short straps attached to the front corners of the bag In testimony that I claim the foregoing as and disposed at an angle thereto, the main my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in body belt having an auxiliary cross belt conthe presence of two witnesses. necting the opposite side portions thereof, and JOHN TEUSCHER, J R.
5 elastic strips connecting the adjacent ends of said short connecting straps and the main body belt, substantially as set forth.
