lMPRQVEMEN'i IN METALLIC GARTERS.
To all whom it 'may concern Be it known that I, HENRYA. HOUSE, of Bridgeport, in the county oi' Fairfield and State of Connectient, have invented an Improvement in Garters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had -to the accompanying drawing making part of this speciiication, in which- Figure l is a view of the garter complete.
Figure 2 shows t-he manner o't applying the strips of dissimilar metals -to the clasp-plates. v
Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-section through the garter. y
]1`igure 4 is au enlarged view of the clasp-plates and portions of the wire-coils.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several-figures.
The nature ofmy invention consists in constructing a garter partly of two diil'erent kinds ot' metals, con- 4nected together in such manuel' that when .the garter is applied to the leg the natural moisture ot' the skin will, as I believe, induce a gah-'anic current, which will operate, as I believe, as a remedialfagent for stimulating thecrculatory action of the blood vessels, and thus, as I believe, prevent cold feet and many other maladies which thelower extremities oi' the body are frequentlyl subjected to,
'lo enable others skilled in the art-to understand my'inventon, I will explain its construction and operation. A
In the accompanying drawing- 1A A represent two-helical springs, which are liattened, as shown in iig. 3, and" which may be made of any suitable metal or metals'. vOne spring, A, maybe made of one kind of metal, and the other spring of a 4 dii'l'crent'ltind of metal.'
The ends of these springs are connected to tongues b b', which are formed on plates b b either by notching these plates,.as at i i, and causing the terminal coils ot the springs to engage-into these notches, or by soldering the ends ot ,the springs to said plates; or the `springs may be attached tothe plates b b in anyother to it, and the other plate may have a perforated clasp-- plate, g', hinged to it, as shown in the drawing.
The springs A Amay be soldered together at points between the clasp-plates, or these springs may be connected together by bands, a, which will afford greater strength than the solder.
' For the purpose of preventing the springs from being stretched too far I connect the plates b b together b v means of thin metal strips, c c, which latter are united by means of eyes, d d, so that the garter cau'be elongated to a certain length.
'lheends of the metal strips c care connected in4 any suitable manner to the tongues b b of the plates b b, and these strips are made ot' two dilerent kinds of metal, say copper and zinc.
I have above described the garter, which I have il-- lustrated in the drawing, and it will be seen that it is an elastic -galvanic garter, composed of two springcoils, iuclosing stays, c c, which are made of copper united to zinc plates b b, which latter have hinged to them copper clasp-plates.
Instead of depending for the supposed galvanic Iaction on the stays and clasp-plates, the supposed galvanic action may be obtained from the springs A A by making one or both oi' them of different metals.
Or the supposed galvanicaction may be obtained by the use of a single spring, A, of one kind ot' metal, inc-losing a stay made oi'a .liilerent kind oi' metal. il' desirable, iiexible strips oi'diiierent kinds of metals properly applied to clasp-plates, without the spring or springs, will produce, as l. believe, a galvanic action. I do not, therefore, conline myseli' to the precise construction of'gartcr shown'in the drawing, as I believe that I ain the irst to have invented and produced what I believe to he a galvanic garter.
Having described my invention,
That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, i s- 1. A garter, composed of dissimilar metals, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
2Q The combination oi' metallic stay-strips c,` claspplates, and springs, substantially as described.
