tee 224:
This invention relates to an adjustable elastic band or ligature particularly adapted for use in the retention about the human body of a hot water bottle or the like.
One of the principal objects is to provide as inexpensive a band as possible, but one still having the advantages of adjustability of the more expensive ones when the better material is available for the making of same.
Another feature sought is to provide such an inexpensive adjustable band as sanitary as possible and one that may be sterilized when necessary without damage to its structure or affect its normal functioning for subsequent use or even disposed of entirely without very material loss, such as, for example, when used in a hospital.
To the latter objective ends such bands now being made are of what is known as all cotton elastic bandage material which comes in various widths and any length desired, the same being woven as by an elastic stitch that may be stretched materially and that will automatically return to its original dimensions and status without harm, thus affording the requisite resiliency and without objectionable wrinkling.
It is to be understood that when better material is available a more durable instrumentality may be made than the presently referred to inexpensive type, which will have equal if not better attributes than the cheaper model.
Referring now to the accompanying drawing forming part of this application and in which the single illustration is a plan view of one of the improved bands or belts, it is apparent that the proportions of the various parts may vary considerably without departing from the invention.
In the drawing I and 2 represent the strip of resilient cloth-like material above referred to having stitched thereupon the terminal tabs, 3 and 4 each having mounted thereupon a suitable button 5 and 6, respectively, for coactive relation with the common hot water bottle terminal holding means.
Intermediate of these terminal tabs and invariably preferably nearer one than the other, as clearly illustrated in the drawing, is also permanently stitched a third tab 1 preferably the full width of the band 1-2. To this tab 1 and preferably between it and the strip l2 is stitched one end of the adjusting strap 8, the otherwise free end of which is designed to coact with the receiving buckle 9 fixed to and adjacent the inner-marginal edge of the terminal tab 4 so that the portion of the band 2 intermediate of the terminal tab 4 and central one I may be 2 shortened or lengthened to accommodate diiferent sized bodies about which the band is used and still retain the yieldability of that portion of the band I intermediate of the central tab 1 and the terminal tab 3.
This band having practically unlimited adjustability longitudinally thereof and still retaining at least some of its initial elasticity, will function admirably in many instances for wrapping about lesser portions of the body, the limbs for example, [that may be in need of a hot or cold pack for therapeutic purposes and in which event it may be convenient to make use of the auxiliary button hole In in conjunction with the button 6 at the opposite terminus in using the instrumentality as a bandage.
Furthermore, it is to be noted that in the cheaper type of bandage as related supra the terminal and intermediate tabs above described may be formed of cardboard reinforced cloth to avoid cost but used in exactly the same manner as the more expensive type of band wherein leather may be used for such tabs and the band may have incorporated therein rubber to augment its elastic properties and thus a much more durable and satisfactory beltfor personal use may be accomplished.
In operation, a hot water bottle or similar object may be held in place on ones body by buttoning the opposed ends thereof (which are usually equipped with terminal extensions having openings admirably adapted for the purpose) on to the buttons 5 and 6 after the band has been placed around the body, With the object or bottle thus buttoned to the band, the former acts to complete the circuit of the band around the body, and the band may be adjusted to the desired tension or length by employing the strap 8 and buckle 9.
Thus it will be seen that a band has been provided which is readily adapted for use with therapeutic objects to hold same in place on ones body.
What I claim is:
1. An adjustable band adapted to hold a therapeutic object upon a human body comprising an elongated body portion, a tab fixed to said body portion at each end thereof, a tab fixed to said body portion intermediate of said first mentioned tabs, attaching means on each of said first mentioned tabs, and an adjustable strap and buckle arrangement carried intermediate of said intermediate tab and one of said first mentioned tabs, said attaching means being adapted to be enadjusting the otherwise fixed distance therebe-- tween, and means carried by said terminal portions for either securing same together or to-said object. 7
3. A band for holding an object upon the human body comprising a body portion of elastic material, non-elastic tabs fixed to each terminus of said body portion, a button carried by each of said tabs for fastening to said object, a nonelastic tab fixed intermediate of said first mentioned tabs, and a strap adjustably carried intermediate of one of said first mentioned tabs and said intermediate tab to adjust the otherwise fixed length of said band.
