JAMES M. MERRILL, OF YARMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA.
lMPROVEMEN'T' INNTCHAFING INSTRUMENTS.
Speclicaton Forming part of Letters lntcnt No. 147,676, dated February 17, li; application tiled October 2, 1873.
To all Iwhom it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES M. MERRILL, of Yarmouth, in the county of Yarmouth and Irovince of Nova Scot-ia, have invented an Improved Anti-@hating Instrument; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken 4in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, is a description of my invention sutlicient to enable those skilled in the art to practice it.
The invention relates to the construction of an instrument t0 be worn by eorpulentmen, to prevent cha-ting between the thighs and scrotum. The instrument or device consists of two wings or curved pieces, hinged together at one end, so as to freely move upon the joint, the construction being such that the instrunient tits snugly up between the thighs, each wing interposin g between the scrotum and the ad jacent thigh, (the scrotum being between the wings,) and the instrument being retained in place by suitable back and abdominal stra-ps and tapes. The invention consists in the con` struction thus generally described.
The drawing represents an instrument cmbodying my invention.
Figure l shows the instrument in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a perspective view ofthe same.
a b denote two wings, hinged together at e.
These wings may be made of hard rubber, or of any other suitable material, and each ares slightly, as seen in Fig. 2, while at their rear or hinged ends they incline and extend upward, as seen in Fig. 1. rllhe front ends are perforated, as seen at d, to receive tapes or loops e, through 'which extends the abdominal and body-encircling strap or band f,- and the hinged ends' are perforated, as seen at g, to receive the ends of the back stra-ps or tapes Il..
rlhe instrument being placed between the thighs, and so that the wings inclose the scrotum, and are interposed between the scrotum and the thighs, it is fastened up to the body by the tapes and band, the extension t itting up behind the scrotum. In walking, the wings serve eii'ectually to keep the thighs and scrotum from abra-sive contact, and, both in Walle ing and in sitting down, they freely expand and contract upon the hinge in accordance with the motions ofthe legs.
I claimlhe antichating instrument formed with the wings, hinged together and held in place substantially as described.
