SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,375, dated April 18, 1899. Application filed June 6,1898- Serial No. 682,670. (No model.)
To all whom it 77?/Cb 7/ concern:
.lleit known that I, JEREMIAH R. KNAPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norwalk, in the county of IIuron and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Truss-Pad Frames; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to a truss-pad which maybe formed of sheet-metal plates or other suitable material; and it consists in a slitted inner plate, a spring finger-like plate, and a curved outer plate, and so, constructed that one or more portions of the slitted inner plate may be bent, as occasion requires, to work in conjunction with the free ends of the fingerlike plate to engage the skin and draw together the loose folds thereof, whereby an easy and accommodating device maybe had to control the rupture, all of which will be more fully described hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a truss-pad which embodies my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same.
1 represents the inner plate, which is preferably provided with four slits 2, thereby forming intermediate portions 3, which are adapted to be bent, and which plate is further provided at one end only thereof with a number of rivet-holes a. The spring 4, which may be of line-of-bea-uty form, is provided at each of its ends with rivet-holes a. The finger-like spring 5 has its-inner end also provided with rivet-holes a, and its outer free end :0 is inwardly disposed. The curved spring 6 has rivet-holes a in one end thereof and an opening 0 in each end, which openings afford means for attachment to the trussbelt in the usual manner. The plate 1 and the springs 4, 5, and 6 are secured-together in the order named by means of rivets Z), passing through the rivet-holes a, the spring 4 by means of the plate and springs attached thereto, which will be adapted to effectually hold the rupture in place, the bendable portions 3 of the plate 1 working in conjunction with the free end so of the spring. The plate 1 bears against the body over the ruptured place, and the springs 4, 5, and 6 serve to exert a pressure upon the plate 1, which is regulated by the wearer by tightening or loosenin g the belt, to which the pad is attached in the well-known manner. All of these parts may be covered or not, as may be preferred. The plate 1 is given the desired shape by bending the portions 3 either outward or inward, according to the nature of the injury. By tightening or loosening the belt the springs 4, 5, and 6 exert a pressure upon the plate 1, which holds it in place.-
This truss is intended to be used like all others. The plate 3 is applied over the ruptured place, and then any desired amount of pressure against the body is given to the plate 3 by the belt, which has its opposite ends connected in any suitable manner to the ends of the spring (3. The springs 4, 5, and 6 serve to exert a yielding pressure against the plate 3 and press it against the body with the desired degree of force.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. In a truss-pad, a slitted inner plate having one fast and one free end, and provided with edges which are adapted to be turned inwardly or outwardly, combined with a fiat curved spring which is secured at one end to one edge of the plate, and two fiat curved springs which are rigidly connected to the outer end of the said curved spring, substantially as described.
2. In a truss-pad,- an inner plate 1, which bears against the body, and having slits in its In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
