Description
SARDIUS PASCO, OF DELAVAN, WISCONSIN.
IMPROVEMENT IN VACUUM APPARATUS FOR TREATING DISEASES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,486, dated January 2, 1872.
To all uhom t may concern:
Be it known that I, SARDIUS Pasco, of Delavan, in the county of Walworth and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful I 1nprovements in Vacuum Apparatus for Treating Diseases; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
Figure l is a longitudinal section of the surgical cups. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the leg-exhauster. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the arm-exhauster. Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the vacuumchamber incasing the body and lower limbs. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the rubber cap or band by which the different reservoirs are attached to the body or limbs with air-tight connections.
Similar letters ofV reference indica-te corresponding parts in the several ligures of the drawing.
My invention consists in one or more cups or exh. usters, ofthe proper form and dimensions to embrace the whole or part of the human body, made of compound metals, two or more, that will produce an electric current; and from which the air is exhausted by suitable means after the cup or exhausters are applied to the body or limbs for the purpose of treating diseases, n cacao, by electricity.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. l shows an oblong zinc cup, A, having a wide lia-nge, B. Dis a copper band secured at one edge to the interior of the cup, and bent over the ange B so as to leave a space between the two i'or the insertion of an elastic packing strip, E. F is a short tube extending' through the side ot' the cup, to which an air-pump may be attached by any suitable connection, for the purpose of exhausting the cup of air when applied to the body. The packing E excludes the atmosphere from the cup when in use, Without injurious pressure upon the diseased parts. Gr is the leg, and H the arm receiver, a-lso formed of compound metals. The upper ends of these receivers are formed with a ila-nge, I, over which an elastic cap, J, is stretched.
The application of these receivers is as follows: The cap J is first drawn upon the limb and the latter placed in the receiver. The edge ot' the cap J is then stretched over the lian ge I, forming an air-tight connection.
K is the receiver for the body, made in the form shown in Fig'. 4, to produce a seat, L, for the patient, Whose feet extendV within the part M. This receiver is also composed ofcompound metals, and instead of enveloping the whole body, extends only to the arm-pits, leaving the arms free. lt is rendered air-tight around the body by an elastic cap, as above described. The receivers G H and K, a-re provided with suitable tubes for the application of air-pumps, and may be composed ot' any combina-tion ot metals ot' a nature to produce electric action when applied to the body.
I prefer to employ a double-actin g air-pump in connection with the cup and receiver for the purpose of exhausting the air continuously.
I am awa-re ofthe patents granted to George Hadlield, October 22, 1867, and March 10,1868, but I claim nothing therein shown as my invention.
The surgical cups and receivers, constructed as described, ot' compound metals, applied to the huma-n body, and exhausted of air in the manner herein set forth, for the purpose spectied.
SARDIUS PASCO.
