UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
- JESSE G. HENDERSON, OF GRIZZLY FLAT, CALIFORNIA.
TRUSS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,498, dated September 21, 1886. Application filed May 27, 1886. Serial No. 203,477. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, J ESSE G. HENDERSON, of Grizzly Flat, county of El Dorado and State of California, have invented an Improvement in Trusses; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to the class of trusses for the alleviation or cure of hernia; and my invention consists in the construction and combination of devices, all of which I shall hereinafter fully describe.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and effective trussone which can be worn without inconvenience, and which on the contrary will give the wearer all the comfort to be obtained from a perfectly-fitting, pliable apparatus, the pad of which is soft and yielding, and on account of its construction and the connection of the securing-bands, cannot get out of place, but will remain in position no matter what may be the positions assumed by the wearer.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my truss. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the pad.
A A are the securing straps or bands. B is the pad. This is made of spring-wire coiled spirally to the shape of a conc-frustum. Its smaller end is entirely open, as at b, and that coil 1) which forms the small end is smoothed down to a flat surface, as shown, its end being the wire pad comes in contact with the skin,- and presses just over the point of rupture. The end being flat prevents discomfort, while by being open it cannot get out of position, for the skin and flesh being pressed rise up in the open end and afford a bearing, so to speak, for holding the pad. The soft yielding 4 character of the spring prevents undue presseach side, or a single truss may be reversed.
There is no covering to go over the springwire pad.
I am aware that a pad has been invented, made of spring-wire coiled; but its shape is not like mine, being an oval or double cone, small at both ends and neitherend open, which makes it rather unstable and difficult to adjust. I do not therefore claim, broadly, a coiled-spring-wire pad, but confine myself to the particular pad I have described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A truss com-prising the pad B, made of spring-wire coiled spirally to the shape of a cone-frustum, its smaller or contact end being open and having a flat smooth surface, and the securing-bands A, secured to the base-coil of the pad, substantially as herein described. I
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
J. G. HENDERSON.
