4 Claims.
My invention relates to buckles and refers particularly to buckles adapted for use in tourniquets.
In the use of tourniquets for the purpose of the stoppage of an abnormal fiow of blood, it is necessary that such devices should be so constructed that they may be instantly applied and operated by the injured party and without the assistance of others and without the expert assistance of nurses or doctors.
' Further, tourruquets should be small, light and readily washed and sterilized.
Further, tourniquets should be of such construction that any desired pressure can be readily obtained to completely stop the flow of blood, and as easily operated to allow the flow of blood to cleanse the wound.
It is evident, therefore, that a tourniquet should be easily and effectively operated by the wounded person without the dangerous and perhaps fatal results that would follow any delay in the proper prevention of the flow of blood coupled with the possibility of cleansing of the wound.
A consideration of my specification and its accompanying drawings Will indicate the value and eifectiveness of the devices of my invention for the purposes described.
While I have specifically described the buckles of my invention as applied to tourniquets, it is evident that they have other uses as buckles, and hence, I do not limit myself to the particular described uses.
, In the accompanying drawings illustrating one form of a device of my invention similar parts of my invention are designated by similar numerals.
Figure l is a side View of one form of my invention with the belt in fixed position and with the desired pressure upon an arm.
Figure 2 is a top view of the device of Figure 1 with the belt omitted.
Figure 3 is a section through the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a section through the line 44 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a top perspective view of the device of Figure l with the belt removed.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the binding member.
Figure '7 is a fragmentary sectional view of the device of Figure 1, with the belt in fixed position prior to the application of the desired pressure.
The particular form of a device of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings comprises a plate having the base member Hi and the angularly positioned end member II, the base member having the two cut-outs l2, l2 and the end member ll having a slot l3 and an opening it with the inwardly extended cylindrical internally threaded boss i5. The base member I!) has the slot l6 and the slot H.
A U-shaped binding member has four extended arms 2|, 2!, 2i, 2| having aligned openings 22, 22 therethrough. The upper portion of the binding member 2d has an upturned edge 23 and the lower portion of the binding member 20 has a downwardly extended edge 24. A stop rivet member 25 passes downwardly through each pair of aligned openings 22, 22.
A setting device comprises the threaded cylindrical member 30, adapted to mesh with the threads of the boss I5, the outer end of the member 33 having the fixedly attached finger piece SI, and the inner end of the member having the fixedly attached belt stretching member 32.
When the device is assembled, the binding member 20 is slidable over the inner portion of the base member H), its complete removal therefrom being prevented by the abutment of the stop rivets, 25, 25 against the outer shoulder of the cut-outs I2, [2.
A belt is passed inwardly through slot l3, thence fastened to prevent its complete passage therethrough, thence over the belt stretcher 32, thence downwardly through the base member slot l6, looped and passed upwardly through the slot H and thence downwardly through the space between the inner edge of the base member Iii and the inner portion of the binding member 29 with the binding member in its outer position.
In operation the arm or other member upon which the device is to be applied, is placed through the looped portion of the belt 49 and the'free end of the belt is pulled outwardly until the belt is firmly placed around the arm, as shown in Figure '7.
The binding member 2H is then moved inwardly until its edges 23 and 24 are firmly abutted upon the belt 66, thus preventing the belt from movement in either direction.
The setting member 323 is then revolved moving the belt stretching member 32 inwardly against the belt 43 thus shortening the loop and causing it to press upon the arm to any required pressure, as shown in Figure 1.
To remove the device the free end of the belt id is drawn outwardly thus causing the binding member 2!! to slide outwardly and removing it from abutment against the belt and thus allowing of free movement of the belt through the device.
It is evident that instead of passing an arm through the belt loop as previously mentioned, the strap may be unthreaded from the device and the belt may be threaded around the arm, thus allowing the device to be employed in the most convenient manner.
It will be noted that my device can be readily and rapidly placed around the member upon which it is to be operated, and that by a few turns of the setting member 30, any desired pressure may be obtained and released.
Before medical aid can be obtained, it is frequently imperative that the rapid escape of blood be slowed or stopped by means of a tourniquet applied to the body in the proximity of the wound, and that repressive pressure be applied.
In the absence of a properly constructed tourniquet, this is usually faultily accomplished by passing a band around the member and twisting the band by means of stick of metal or Wood, which twisted position must be manually maintained until proper medical treatment can be obtained; and if this is performed by the Wounded'person, he frequently becomes so weak that he is unable "to maintain the required pressure. and he bleeds to death.
Further, in order to cleanse the wound and to prevent it from sealing too quickly, the blood must be allowed to flow through the wound intermittent'of the blood stoppages, a performance'which the injured person is scarcely ever ble tov a pl h- My'device overcomes all of the above and other dangerous possibilities incident to theemploy' merit of makeshift devices.
' My device is small and light in weight and may be'readily introduced" into a doctors bag or a servicem'ans kit; It is easily and quickly applied by the wounded person who can accurately and readily apply any desired pressure, and releaseit by a few turns of thev setting device and it'dqes not require attention to maintain the desired pressure.
"Fer war service use it may be so constructed that'the mans usual belt can be inserted for: use, thus ebviating the necessity of a sepa'ratejbeltQ It is evident, thereforefthattm devicesjof my.
invention have high values for both service and civilian use;
I do 'nqt limit myself to the particular size, shape," number, arrangement and materialsmentioned and described as these may be varied with,- out geing beyond, the scope of my invention.'
