Patented July 10, 1934 UNITED ABDOMINAL TRUSS AND SUPPORT Max Kappner, Cincinnati, Ohio Application March 22, 1933, Serial No. 662,117
1 Claim.
My invention relates to a truss or support particularly adapted for supporting the abdomen and relieving hernia and is an improvement on the invention shown and described in my copending application, Serial No. 621,075, filed July 6, 1932 for Abdominal truss and support.
Numerous supports and trusses have been made heretofore for the treatment of hernia and umbilical rupture as well as various types of abdominal supports. The conventional he nia trusses customarily used for the treatment of a hernia on both sides is comprised of an abdominal belt on the front of which are aflixed in the proper places oval pads which press against the abdomen at the points where the hernia exists. It is common knowledge that a person wearing such a device has diiiiculty in maintaining the pads in their proper places, especially when working or exercising as at this time the pads slip and move out of position readily.
Frequently people troubled with hernia need an abdominal support. The present method of handling this situation requires the use of an abdominal support and an additional hernia truss. Consequently it has been found to be very inconvenient to wear a separate abdominal support and hernia truss because of the slipping of the truss pads.
In order to overcome the deficiencies and difliculties experienced with trusses and supports such as outlined above, I prefer to use the same type of abdominal shield as described in my copending application mentioned above. This shield is then encased with a leather or heavy cloth material having pockets on the inner side of the shield in which may be placed felt or other pads to increase the pressure at any desired point on the truss and support. While the shield itself may be initially constructed to fit any given condition it frequently becomes necessary after continued use to change its shape to give further pressure at a particular point. This may be accomplished quickly and easily by the insertion of further projecting pads in the pockets where they will be practically immovable and remain in the desired pre-determined positions.
In the particular embodiment of my invention selected for illustration:
Fig. 1 is a perspective of my device,
Fig. 2 is .a plan View of the inner side of the shield properly encased, and
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Referring now to the drawing, the device is comprised of a shield 10 preferably constructed of metal or some other substantially rigid material having inwardly bulging rss PATENT OFFICE portions 11 and 12 to press against the abdominal muscles to support them and to press inwardly against the points where hernia occurs.
The central porthe inner side of the shield wards each other.
and preferably to- Any suitable felt or other types of pads may be placed within the pockets at any point where it is desired to raise the inner portion of the shield so as pressure at one point than another.
readily be seen that these to create a greater It can pads will be compressed between the inside of the pocket and the bulging portions of the shield 11 or 12 and consequently will not slip or move about causing misplacement of the increased pressure area.
Any suitable belt such as 16 is provided with the device to fit around the waistline of the body to maintain the truss and support position.
While the invention has bee in proper 11 described above in its preferred form, it will be obvious that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit or scope thereof and it is therefore desired that only such limitations be imposed thereon as are necessitated by the prior art or specifically set forth in the claim.
An abnormal truss and support comprised of a rigid abdominal supporting shield transversely arcuate, integral hernia pads on the inner periphery of said shield and a non-rigid member encasing said shield and constructed to form pockets between said casing material and the inner side of said shield, said pockets laterally opening towards each other.
MAX KAPPNER.
