Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. "Z, rare.
Application filed. March 29, 1910. Serial No. 552,250.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS A. STEVENS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Caney, in the county of Montgomery and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Tally-Card; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention is associated in the art of record or tally cards, and it pertains more essentially to a combination record card and label, adapted for use by nurses, doctors, and pharmacists or druggists. This card not only serves as a label, on which full directions of the medicine to be administered, the name of the doctor, the date and number of the prescription, and the name and address of the pharmacist or druggist, are indicated, but serves as a medium by which a minute or detail account of the treatment and the administering of medicine to patients may be recorded. At each visit of the physician or doctor, this record or label may be thoroughly inspected by him.
In the drawings there are two specimens of record cards or labels illustrated, one showing a series of treatments, indicated approximately in the center of the card, while in the other this series of treatments is eliminated.
The card may be of any desired shape or configuration and made of any suitable material, but in the present instance the applicant desires to illustrate an annular disk made of paper or other thin material.
In Figure 1 the card is divided into a series of annular spaces by lines, each of which is divided into four equal parts by four very heavy dark lines, thereby dividing them into quarter day sections; each quarter is subdivided by lighter lines, in order to divide the series of annular spaces into twelve hour sections, in order to indicate the hours of the day. To indicate the half and quarter-of-an-hour each twelfth of the annular spaces is subdivided into four fifteen minute sections. Each hour section adjacent a central space of the label is divided into substantially twenty minute sections. If a medicine to be administered is to be given every three hours, it is indicated on the rec- 0rd label adjacent the very heavy lines.
But if it is to be administered every hour on the hour, or every hour on the half hour or every half hour, it is to be indicated adjacent the lines intermediate the lines (which divide the label into four equal parts.) A medicine may be given every fifteen minutes, and the time indicated in the fifteen minute sections, while another medicine may be ad ministered every twenty minutes, alternating with the fifteen minute medicine, and the time indicated in the twenty minute sections. In accomplishing the administering of two different medicines alternately given, two diflerent annular spaces, each appropriately indicating a full day or night, must be used. Or another medicine may be given every hour or half hour, as the case may be, and alternate with the fifteen minute medicine. The first annular space on the label counting from the periphery thereof, appropriately indicates one full day, while the next annular space appropriately indicates one full night, then the next annular space indicates another day, and so on alternately until a central space of the label is reached.
In Figs. 1 and 2 there are seven full days and nights represented, while in Fig. 3 there are four full days and nights. There may be as many days and nights as desired.
The detail structural features of the label are hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the drawings: Fig. 1 is a plan View of the record card or label, showing the same divided, in order to be used for a week. Fig. 2 is a lan view of the record card or label, showing the series of treatment, excepting the administering of medicine eliminated therefrom. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the card or label as shown in Fig. 1, but showing the same divided in order to be used only-f0ur days.
' Referring to the drawings, 1 designates an annular paper or other fiber disk, divided into four equal parts by the very heavy lines 2, in order to indicate every three hours. The spaces 2 indicating every three-hour or quarterly day sections between the radial lines 2 are subdivided into three equal parts in order to disclose each hour section 3* of the day, by means of lines 3, and the spaces illustrated between the lines 2 and 3, which represent the time elapsing between the hours, are divided by the lines 4 to indicate the half-hour sections or divisions 4*, while the spaces between the lines indicating the half-hour and the lines indicating the hour are divided to indicate the quarterof an hour divisions 5 by. the dashlines 5. The hour sections beyond the lines 4 are divided by the dash lines 5 into three substantially equal sections, thus appropriately indicating approximately twenty minute sections 5 A series of annular spaces 6 are provided which spaces are formed by the annular lines 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, which spaces represent the seven days of the week, while the lines, designated by the numeral 14:, be-
tween the lines 7 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, indicate the nights of the week. The annular lines 14: are shown as somewhat darker or heavier than the other annular lines. The radial lines dividing the record card into twelve equal parts are numbered from one to. twelve inclusive, in order to indicate the twelve hours of the day and night.
Inside of the smaller annular line 13 a space 15 is provided, in which, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a series of treatment-s designated by the character 16 is shown. Also indicated in this space 15 are the full directions for administering the medicine, the name and address of the pharmacist or .druggist, the date and number of the prescription, and the name of the doctor or physician. In Fig. 2 a series of treatments is dispensed with.
If the medicine or treatment to be administered to the patient is due on the hour, the
half-hour or the quarter of an hour, or every three hours, the records are indicated adjacent the lines indicating such periods of time.
The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is A record label provided with an appropriately designated, central space adapted to. I
receive data relating to the administration of medicines, comprising a paper disk, suitably ruled from the periphery of the label toward its center, with a plurality of con -'v centric lines alternating light and heavy, and including annular spaces between the light and heavy lines, the annular spaces ap-.
propriately designated to indicate alternating full days and nights, the labelhaving a plurality of heavy radial lines dividing the .annular'spaces into four equal parts appropriately designated to indicate quarterly day sections, radial lines subdividing each quarterly day section into three appropriately designated hour sections, lines extend THOMAS ANDREW STEVENS.
