Abstract

662,482. Artificial breasts. BERNARDT, E. H. May 20, 1949 [May 22, 1948; May 7, 1949], Nos. 13555/49 and 13556/49. Class 141. [Also in Group VI] An artificial breast comprises a flexible cell containing a conformable, incompressible, inexpansible filler and a gas. As shown in Fig. 3, the cell comprises a convex front wall 17 and a flat rear wall 18 of impervious material sealed together at 19 and containing a liquid or conformable gel 11 and gas 22 at atmospheric pressure. The cell is held within an ordinary brassiÞre cup 12 provided with a cell retainer 15 and a flap 16. In alternative constructions, the cell may be moulded in one piece and the back wall may be convex or concave. The filler may comprise a plurality of small cells surrounded by a liquid and each containing a conformable filler and gas, or it may comprise a plurality of bits of flexible cellular material, e.g. sponge rubber in liquid. In the construction shown in Fig. 6, the cell 10 is enclosed in a similarly shaped flexible impervious envelope 25 which may also contain a waterabsorbent powder, and the liquid filler 11 is in a foaming condition. The liquid may also contain a sealing agent so that it clots if the cell is punctured.
