SURGICAL SPLINT Filed Feb. 11, 1938 Inventor fiaqv Jhizl$ M By M A item e ys Patented Dec. 6, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in surgical splints, such as are used in supporting the parts of limbs (arms and legs) which have been fractured or which for any other reason are in need of such support as afforded by a surgical splint.
An object of the invention is to provide a splint comprising a plurality of sections which may be readily connected together, and when so connected maybe readily extended into longitudinal alignment and secured in such position, or disposed in a folded condition relative to one another as may be found desirable.
The subject matter of the present application has been divided out of a copending application filed by me under date of July 20, 1937, and bearing Serial No. 154,670; the title of the parent application being First-aid kit.
The present invention together with its objects and advantages will be best understood from a study of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing where- Figure l is a perspective view of the splint in extended position.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the splint, folded, and
Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail perspective view for clearly illustrating the hinge joint between. connecting sections.
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals it will be seen that the improved splint comprises a plurality of sections including end sections 5, 6, an intermediate section I which is substantially the same length as the sections 5 and 6, which latter are also equal in length, and also sections 8 and 9, the combined lengths of which are equal to the length of either of the sections 5 to I, with section 8 being substantially one-half the width of section 9.
All of the sections 5 to 9 inclusive are provided with hinge plates I carrying pairs of upper and. lower hinge eyes II and I2 through the medium of which and headed hinge pins IS the sections at the meeting ends thereof are hingedly connected together to readily fold or unfold relative to one another, and also for the accommodation of headed pins l4 through the medium of which the sections 5 to 9 inclusive are secured in longitudinal alignment against folding and as is desired when the splint is in actual use.
When the splint is not in use it is readily folded as shown in Figure 2 with sections 8 and 9 of the splint folded onto section 6, section 1 folded onto sections 8 and 9, and section 5 folded onto the section: I.
With the splint folded as shown in Figure 2 it may be readily carried in a first-aid kit such as forms the subject matter of my aforementioned and copending parent application Serial No. 154,670.
As clearly shown the sections 5 to 9 inclusive of the splint at the sides thereof to be placed nearest to the injured limb have the end edges thereof rabbeted as at l5 soas to accommodate the hinge eyes 12 so that these hinge eyes will be flush with the surface of the extended splint, thus permitting the splint to lie flatly against the injured member.
Obviously when the splint is extended as shown pins 14 engage the eyes l2 to secure the splint in this extended position. To fold the splint the headed pins I4 are removed.
It will thus be seen that I have provided a fol'dable splint embodying a plurality of sections, all, or only a selected number of which may be used when found desirable; and which sections can be readily secured together in a manner to permit the sections to fold relative to one another and also in a manner to secure the sections rigidly in longitudinal alignment as may be found desirable.
It is thought that a clear understanding of the construction, utility, and advantages of an invention of this character will be had Without a more detailed description.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is:
1. A surgical splint comprising a plurality of board-like sections, thin plates connected to the end edges of the intermediate sections and a thin plate connected to the inner end edge of each outer section, said plates having rolled portions at one side edge projecting from one face of the splint, with the rolled parts of one plate fitting between the rolled part of an adjacent plate, removable hinge pins passing through the rolled portion, the adjacent ends of the sections being rabbeted at the front face of the splints, and the plates having rolled portions at their front side edges which are located in the rabbeted portions, whereby said rolled portions will not project from the front face of the splint, the last-mentioned rolled portion of one plate fitting between the similar rolled portion of an adjacent plate and removable pins passing through the last-mentioned rolled portion for locking the sections in aligned position to form the splint, some of the pins being removed when the sections are to be folded one upon another.
2. A surgical splint comprising a plurality of board-like sections, thin plates connected to the end edges of the intermediate sections and a thin plate connected tothe inner edge of each outer section, said plates having rolled portions at one side edge projecting from one face of the splint, with the rolled parts of one plate fitting between the rolled part of an adjacent plate, removable hinge pins passing through the rolled portion, the adjacent ends of the sections being rabbeted at the front face of the splints, and the plates having rolled portions at their front side edges JOSEPH MALIK.
