ELECTRO-GALVANIC BELT.
SPECIFICATION forming; part of Letters Patent No. 279,881, dated June 19, 1883.
Application filed May 12, 1883. No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. PALMER, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electro-Galvanic Belts, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.
My invention relates to electro-galvanic belts to be worn upon the person; and it consists in a novel construction, arrangement, and mode of applying a series of batteries, which will be readily understood by reference to the description of the drawings and to the claim to b hereinafter given.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of myimproved belt. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the leather belt detached from the cloth coveringand showing the manner of attaching the series of batteries and connecting them together; and Fig. 8 is a transverse section through the complete belt, the cuttingplane being through two of the batteries, drawn to an enlarged scale.
A is a leather band; B, a covering of fiannel or other textile fabric; or, if desired, it may be of chainoisskin, the band A and covering B being connected or attached together by lines of stitching, a, which also secures thereto the binding 0.
To one end of the belt is secured the buckles b b, and to the opposite end are secured the straps c 0, by means of which the belt is secured around the body of the wearer in a wellknown manner.
To the leather band A is secured a' series of small batteries, D, each composed of a 0011- cavo-convex disk, d, and an annular concavo- (ZOIIYGX plate or ring, 6, arranged to overlap and the covering 13, connecting alternately" witha copper ring and then a zinc ring throughout the whole series. the disks d and rings 6 are so rounded as to The outer surfaces of present no sharp corners to cut or chafe the person, and they are so separated as to permit the belt to freely and readily conform to the person of the wearer, and adapt itself to changes of position; and they project so little from the surface of the belt that they will not materially inconvenience the wearer.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
In an electrogalvanic belt, the combination of a series of disks, (7, a series of rings, a, having their edges turned over the disks and presenting smooth surfaces arranged relative to each other, as set forth, and the wire f, con-- necting all of said rings in a circuit, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed-my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 9th day of May, A. D. 1883.
GEORGE E. PALMER. Witnesses:
E. A. HEMMENWAY, WALTER E. LOMBARD.
