ORLANDO G. DARLING AND HENRY? A. SGHULZ, OF BROOKLYN,N Y.
reuse SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,230, dated Februaryii, 1884.
Application filed February 24, 1883. (No model.) i
provernent, shown as applied to a one-side direct-acting single truss. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same, parts of the hoop being broken away. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the same, taken through the line 00 m, Fig. 2.
The objectof this invention is to promote; convenience in wearing trusses, and prevent the said trusses from causing pain or discomfort to the wearer by pressure upon the back or sides. I
The invention relates to a truss made with a back-pad provided with a ball-and-socket joint for connecting the said pad with the truss-hoop, so that the said pad can adjust itself to the movements of the wearer, and can thus be worn with comfort, as will be hereinafter fully described.
We will describe our improvement as applied to a one-side directacting single truss, but'do not limit ourselves to such use, as it can be applied with equal advantage to other trusses and supporters A represents the spring or hoop of a truss,
which is provided with a front pad, B, at
tached to one end of the said hoop, and a leather strap, 0, attached to its other end and perforated to receive the screw or knob attached to the first end, or to the pad-holder for securing the truss to the wearer adjustably.
D is the back-pad, which is made long and narrow. The middle part of the face of the back-pad D is c'oncaved, and its end parts slightly conveXed, as shown in Fig. 1. The middle part of the back of the pad D projects, and is recessed to receive the ball E, which is secured in the said recess by a plate, F. The plate F is concaved upon the inner side to fit upon the ball E, is perforated to receive the shank of the said ball, and is'secured to the back of the said pad Dby screws. The shank of theball E is secured to the slide G, through which the hoop A passes, and which is secured to the said hoop A by a set-screw, H,
so that the back-pad D can be readily adjustedby loosening the said set-screw H. WVith this construction the concavity in the face of the pad D causes the said pad to fit easily upon the back of the wearer, and the ball-andsocket joint E F, by which the said pad is con nected with the hoop A, allows the pad to ad just itself to the various movements of the 'body' of the wearer without friction, so that the truss can be worn with comfort for long periods of time, and does not have to be removed after a short time on account of pain caused by pressure and friction upon the back and sides.
WVe are aware that a spring bar and convex pads have been used in a truss, but are not aware that the pads have ever been placed diametrically opposite to each other, or the backpad made in the form which we have described.
What we claim as new and of our invention A truss consisting of the spring A, the con vex pad B at the front and connecting by its stem the two ends of the spring, and the concave rear pad, D, ball-jointed to an adjustable sleeve on the spring, as shown and described.
