Patented Oct. 16, 1951 UNITED .STAT
BANDAGE ROLLER John ,J. Williams and ulius H. Bast,
Charleston, S. 0. I 1
Application October 21, 1949, Serial No. 122,642
4 Claims. (01. 242-60) This invention relates to-manually actuated devices for rolling strips of material, and in particular a device adapted to be held in one hand while material is rolled by a crank with the other and in which the material is rolled ona spindle extended from the base of a handle with loops providing guides extended from the base through which the strip of materialpasses and which provide tensioning means to facilitate rolling the material tight. I
The purpose of this invention is to provide a rack or holder to facilitate rolling strips of surgical bandage and. particularly elastic bandage whereby strips of bandage may be rolled on a base held in one hand by a crank turned by the other and in which the bandage is rolled under tension.
.Strips of bandage and particularly elastic-like tension bandages are formed of cotton woven material and in some cases comparatively long strips of bandage are required. These strips may be laundered, sterilizedand reused but it is difficult to reroll the strips by hand. With this thought in mind this invention contemplates a holder having a spindle upon which the strips of material are rolled by a small crank removably held in a groove at the end of the spindle and having a rod extended throughout the width of the bandage and in which loops are provided for holding the bandage in tension as it is rolled.
The object of this invention is, therefore, to provide a holder in the form of a base having a handle from which a spindle upon which material may be rolled extends and which is also provided with tensioning loops and a crank rotatably held on the end of the spindle by a spring and having a finger extended into the roll of material.
Another object of the invention is to provide a holder for rollin bandage that may be held in one hand while the bandage is rolled by the other, or that may be attached to a table by any suitable means.
A further object of the invention is to provide a holder for rolling bandage and the like which is of a comparatively simple and economical construction.
With these and other objects and advantages in view the invention embodies a bar providing a base, a handle mounted on the bar, a spindle extended from the bar, tensioning loops also extended from the bar, and a crank rotatably mounted by a spring coil in a groove in the outer end of the spindle.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawings wherein:
Fi l is a front elevational view of the holder with bandage illustrated thereon in dot and dash lines.
Figure 2 is a view lookin upward toward the under or lower end of the holder.
Figure 3 is a detail illustrating the crank and finger with the coil spring connection therein for retaining the crank on the spindle of the holder.
Figure 4 is a detail showing an end view of the crank. 7
Referring now to the drawings'wherein like referencecharacters denote corresponding parts the bandage rolling holder of this invention in-. cludes a base ill having a handle I I, a spindle l2, tensioning loops [3 and I4 and a crank I5,
In the design shown the base It] is iormedof a straight bar of any suitable material and the han dle l l is secured thereto by a'screw l6, atone end and a threaded end I! of the spindle, 12 which extends through the base and into-the upper end of the .handle. The screw IB is provided with a countersunk head l8 so that the surface of the base adjacent to. the bandage is smooth and the spindle i2 is provided with a shoulder 19 which holds a washer 20 which is countersunk in the base so that the outside of the washer is flush with the surface of the base as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The outer end of the spindle I2 is provided with a knob 2| having a continuous groove 22 between the knob and end of the spindle and, as illustrated in Figure 1 an ofiset loop or coil 23 of a spring section 24 of the crank l5 snaps into the groove 22 for temporarily retaining the crank on the spindle. The crank is provided with a handle 25 and a finger 26 extends from the coil or section 24 parallel to the spindle l2 for pushing or rotating the roll of material on the spindle. This finger grips the end of the material for starting and after the roll is completed it is readily withdrawn therefrom.
The loops I 3 and I4 are U-shaped with the loops l3 formed with bars 21 and 28 and the loop II with bars 29 and 30 and the ends of the bars are secured in a series of openings 3| in the base as illustrated in Figure 1.
With the tensioning loops positioned on the base as illustrated in the drawing the end of the band or strip of material is threaded through the loop 14 passing under the bar 30 and over the bar 29, and then through the loop I3 passing over the bar 28 and under the bar 21, and from the tensioning loops the material is carried. to the spindle 12 where it is held by the finger 26. As the crank is rotated the material is drawn through the tensioning loops, holding the material against the spindle, and thereby providing a tight roll. After the material is rolled the complete roll may readily be removed from the spindle and the finger 26 removed from the roll.
The spring coil 24 between the finger and crank may be formed with 4, or any suitable number of coils according to the width of the bandage and in case it should be desired to provide a roller or holder for bandage of a difierent or specified width.
Various degrees of tension can be exerted by the way in which the bandage is inserted in the tension loops and also by the manner in which the roller is held during the process of winding.
It will be understood that modifications may be made in the design and arrangement of the parts without departing :from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
:1. VA material roller comprising a base having a handle on one side thereof, .a spindle having :an annular groove in its outer end extended from the opposite :sideof said base,-a finger extending adjacent to and paralle'ltb said spindle,-saidfinger being formed with a coil spring adjacent one end "for receiving the outer end of the spindle, said spring terminating .in a crank, and a pair'of tensioning loops extended outwardly from the base in a plane extended through the axis of the spindle.
.2. :A material roller comprising :a base having a handle on one side thereof, a'spindle having an annular groove in :its outer end extended from the opposite :side of said base, ;a finger extending adjacent to and parallel to said spindle, said finger .:beingformed with 'a 'coil spring adjacent :one -;end.ior receiving -the-outer end :of the spindle, said spring terminating :in-a crank, said -coil spring having :an offset zcoil therein positioned to coast with the annular groove in the cuterzend of the spindle for retaining the fingerand crank on the spindle, and a "pair of tensioning :loops extended outwardly from the base in a plane extended through the axis of the spindle.
3. A material roller comprising a base having a handle on one side thereof, a spindle having an annular groove in its outer end extended from the opposite side of said base, a finger extending adjacent to and parallel to said spindle, said finger being formed with a coil spring adjacent "one end for receiving the outer end of the spindle, said spring terminating in a crank, said coil spring having an offset coil therein positioned to boact with the annular groove in the outer end of thespindle for retaining the finger and crank on the spindle, a pair of U-shaped tensioning loops extended :outwardly from the base and positioned in a plane extended through the axis of the .spindle.
4. In a material roller, the combination which comprises a base having a handle on one side thereof, a spindle extended from the opposite side of the base and :spaced from one end thereof, a finger-extending adjacent to and parallel to said spindle, said finger being formed with a coil spring adjacent one end for receiving the outer end of the spindle, said spring terminating in a crank, :means retaining the said finger with its coilspr-ing on the spindle, and a pair of U-shaped tensioning loopsextended from the side of the base from which the spindle extends and positioned in a plane extended through the axis of the spindle andalso through the handle.
