J. OBERHAUSS'ERy OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA.
coRsr-TRUss Fort UPTURES.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 5871, dated January 52,0,` 1838 y.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, Jo1-IANNEs OBERHAUS- sER, doctor of medicine, of the city of Charleston, in the State of South Carolina, have invented certain improvements in trusses or apparatus for the relief or cure of rupt-ure or hernia in its various forms and also of prolapsus uteri or the descent of the womb; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.
These trusses must o-f necessity be variously modified according to the nature of the complaint, the size, sex, and occupation of the patient, and other circumstances.
Figure l, in the accompanying drawing represents what I denominate a truss corset. This instrument is particularly adapted to ruptures of nearly every species, in subjects of both sexes, as it is made to cover and support the whole abdomen, and may have such pads, bandages, or other apparatus attached to it as the nature and situation of the complaint may require.
The part marked A, represents the front of the corset truss, which may be covered with leather, or any other suitable substance, and lined in like manner o-n the inside, toward the abdomen. The leather, or other material is stretched upon an elastic steel plate or rim, between the front covering, and the lining, in the situation represented by the dotted lines. This steel plate is continued around the back, as shown at B, B, and has straps by which it is buckled to the front part A. An extended piece C, whic an which may be made of stiff leather, or steel, bears upon the back of the person using the instrument, when worn by females a corset bone D, may be attached to the front. In case of umbelical rupture, a pad adapted to it is to be fixed on the inside of the front portion. For inguinal hernia, o-r other varieties of this disease, a pad, as that seen at E, may be attached to a suitable part of the steel rim, on which it may be adjusted in any of the known ways, so as to press upon the partdesired. In case of prolapsus uteri, when it is necessary to use a pessary, or some analogous contrivance, such an instrument, may be kept in place by attaching it to the lower part of the corset front, as shown at F the pessary, made of any propermaterial being fixed upon a covered curved support f, which is fastened to the corset by a flexible strap, will be thereby kept in place, while 1 free motion will be allowed to the body and limbs, where a pessary may be objectionable,
and it is desired to make pressure onl the part, a soft elastic, stuffed bandage, adapted to the purpose, may be carried around from front to back.
This corset truss is calculated to. aii'ord great support at all times, and more espe- 'cially when the person is riding, or is `engaged 1n any pursuit which renders consid-v which are connected together by a hinge' joint at the middle of the back. Against this hinge there is a saddle piece o, b, connected by means of the joint pins of the hinge, so as to form a triple joint. This saddle piece constitutes what may be called the back pad, or bearing. The two springs meet infront at c, and have attached to them plates of metal, or other stiff substances el, d, which are properly lined and covered, and which sustain the abdomen, like the first described truss. e e1 e2 represents pads the upper of which may bear upon the umbilicus, and the lower on the scrotum, and it will be seen that to this apparatus pads may be adapted to bear upon any desired'part, while that support will be aiforded to the muscles of the abdomen which is so often desirable.
In Fig. 3, my corset truss is represented under another modification of the spring and its appendages. The front, or abdominal plate, f f, is in one piece, and the spring g, g, passes all around the body, in one continuous piece, one end of it being fastened to the middle of the abdominal plate, and the other resting upon it and capable of being attached by buttons, buckles, or otherwise, 7L, is a corset bone, which'may be attached when requisite; and all the different kind of pads may be attached to this in a manner similar to the two former.
Fig. 4 shows another form of my corset truss, Vwhich like No. 1 may buckle at the side; z' is the bearing plate at the back of the tradistinguished from the support by bandages, which has been frequently resorted to, which springs are widened out by stiff plates capable of receiving and applying two or more pads to ruptured parts, in the manner herein set forth.
