ROBERT F. JOHNSON, OF ELIZABETH, NEIV JERSEY.
PACKAGEIOF SURGEONS SILK OR CATGUT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 408,625, dated August 6, 1889.
' Application filed May 27, 1889. Serial No. 312,275. (No model.)
To all wl'wm it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ROBERT W. JOHNSON,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Elizabeth, in the'county of Union, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages of Surgeons Silk or Oatgut, of which the following is a specification, reference being had there n to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to sealed inclosures containing silk or catgut ligatures wound upon bobbins; and the objects of my invention are to provide suitable non-metallic and non-corrodible bearings for the spools, to provide a flexible tubular guide and clamp for the passage and tight-fitting issue of the ligatures, and to provide flexiblemeans for sealin g the package hermetically and also around said flexible guide. I attain these objects by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in wh-ich Figure l is a vertical section of a package constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the spools, the spool-supporting frame, its upper disk, and tubular guide for the ends of the ligatures.
In said drawings, A represents glass bobbins having circular shoulders at to form the end limits for the silk or catgut ligatures wound thereon, and flanged ends a to retain thein'in bearing-plates B, of celluloid orof hard rubber, said plates having perforations or bearings to receive, afterbeing slightly softened, the journals of the bobbins and retain them permanently united to said bearingpl ates, and upon said bobbins the silk or catgut ligatures O are wound in any suitable manner, and the ends are made to pass through a flexible guide d, consisting of a short length of flexible rubber tubing, and after they are passed through said flexible guide said ligatures and guide are tightly compressed by means of a silk or other strong cord tied around them at (1 Said flexible guide is then fittingly passed through a disk E, of pasteboard orgother suitable material, and the parts are in proper condition to be placed into an antiseptic liquid in a bottle F,the disk E substantially fitting in the interior of said bottle. To seal the bottle against the passage of air around the inner surface of the bottle or around the flexible guide, a ,sealing-liquid as dissolved gelatine mixed with neutralized sulpholeic acidis used. This is poured in the neck of the bottle on top of the disk E, when it soon solidifies, as shown at H, but remains flexible, with the ends of the ligatures projecting above it, and said ends are further-protected by means of a metal screwcap J, lined with cork in the usual manner.
When it is desired to use any of the silk or catgut, it is only necessary to remove the screw-cap and draw the desired quantity through the flexible guide 01 without any loss of the antiseptic liquid.
Having now fully described my invention, I claim The herein described package of surgeons silk or catgut, consisting of a bottle containing antiseptic liquid, a spool holder consisting of non-metallic plates having perforat-ions for the reception of the flanged ends of the bobbins and sewing material wound thereon, in combination with a disk, a tightlycompressed flexible tube passing therethrough and receiving said sewing material, and a flexible seal surrounding the flexible tube, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I at'fix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ROBERT W. JOHNSON.
