GEORGE I-I. JUNG, 53., OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOB, TO THE JUNG ARCH BRACE COMPANY, OF CINCINNATI, OI-IIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO.
SURGICAL DEVICE AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME.
Application filed July 9, 1923.
An object of my invention is to provide a device, of which arch braces are an example. carrying pads that will not be dislocated by flexing or stretching of the pad carrying element.
Another object of my invention is to provide a simple and eiiicient device of the class described.
Another object of my invention is to simpliiy and expedite the manufacture of devices of the class described.
These and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a foot having mounted on it an arch brace embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmental view of a strip of material showing the form given thereto in carrying out my process. 7
Fig. 3 is a sectional View on line 33 of Fig. 2.
Fig. A is a fragmental sectional view through a completed device comprising my invention taken on a line identical to line 33 of Fig. 2 and showing a modified form of the device and method of construction, and embodying my invention.
I have illustrated my invention as applied to devices ordinarily referred to as arch braces or arch cutls, yet my invention is not restricted to devices of this nature.
Up to the present time there has been experienced considerable dithculty in sewing strips of material 7 and 8 upon one another after a pad 9 was inserted between said strips. Especially was this true when the strips 7 and 8 were of elastic material. I will. describe my invention as applied to strips 7 and 8 oi elastic or resilient. material because thereby it will be possible to more readily set forth the ditliculties encountered in this lield up to the present time. and also to set out more distinctly the advantages of my invention. In carrying out my invention the elastic strip 7 is preferably saturated with starch. The starch is used in a liquid form for accomplishing this purpose. The strip 7 is then placed in a mold, which mold when closed will cause the strip to have formed in it a pocket or recess 10. Heat is then applied to the mold for drying the starch so that when the strip 7 is removed from the mold the starch will serve to retain Serial No. 650,225.
the pocket 10 in the strip 7. The pad 9, which is made of resilient felt or the like, is then placed in the recess or pocket 10, and the strip 8 is then placed over the pad and has its outer edge secured upon the strip 7 in any suitable manner such as by suitable stitching or sewing 11. After the strip 8 has been so secured upon the strip 7 the strip 7 may be flexed or stretched. It is immaterial after the securing of the strips 7 and 8 upon one another that the starch further maintain the pocket structure and after a short period the starch becomes ineffective,
in fact may leave the brace as a dustor powder. From the foregoing, see Fig. 4, it will be apparent that the cover 8 may be provided with a pocket such as 10 in the same manner as described for providing the strip 7 with a pocket. In the modified structure disclosed in Fig. 4: the strip 8 is first stretched and received in a mold so as to form the pocket 10 therein, similar to the pocket formed in strip 7. After the pocket 10 has been formed the pad 9 is placed therein whereupon the edges of the strip 8 are secured to the strip 7 in any suitable manner such as by stitching or sewing 11. After the strips 7 and 8 are sewed upon one another the pad 9 is free to the extent that it will not be dislocated because the strips 7 and 8 may be flexed or stretched.
Although I have disclosed starch as the agency for temporarily giving the fixed form to the elastic materials 7 and 8, it is to be understood that any suitable material for accomplishing the same purpose may be employed.
hat I claim is:
1. As a new article of manuii'acturo an arch brace comprising a strip of elastic mate rial having an integral pocket formed therein, a pad in said pocket, and a cover piece for the pocket having its entire peripheral edge secured to the elastic material adjacent the sides of the pocket whereby the pad is wholly and loosely contained within the closed pocket.
2. The process comprising applying starch to a flexible material, placing the material so treated in a mold and applying heat thereto for giving a rigid form to said material and for providing a pocket in said rigid form, inserting a pad in the pocket, and securing acover upon the first mentioned material for enclosing the pad in the pocket. pad loosely in the pocket and securing a clos- 3.
