UNITED STATES ROBERT RNHOLD, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
HERNIAL TRUSS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 694,599, dated March 4, 1902.
Application led November 14, 1901. Serial No. 82,258. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom, t 71 my concern.:
Be it known that LROBERT ARNHoLD,a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain'new and useful Improvements in I-Iernial Trusses and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention ,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the igures of reference marked thereon,
y which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to hernial trusses. Its object is toiprovide a truss which will be more comfortable and easy to the wearer than those heretofore in use by the'use of an improved pad which will contain a sponge or other absorbent substance which will serve to hold water, so that the parts may be kept moist.
A further object is to assist the cure of a single hernia and the. prevention of a double hernia by the use of a small supplementary pad to be applied to the uninjured side of the groin, thereby assisting in retaining the other pad in position and reducing the wellknown liability to the incurrence or appearance of a hernia'on the uninjured side.
Nith these and other objects in view an embodiment of my invention is hereinafter described and is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which.-
Figurelisa face view of the pads attached to the pad-plate. Fig. 2 is a back view thereof. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same.
The pad-plate is indicated at 6 and is preferably athin flexible metallic strip,to the ends of which the belt 7 is attached in any proper manner. The plate carries two padsa large one, designed to cover the hernia, and a small one,resting against the other side of the groin. Except for the difference in size the construction of both pads is the same, so that a description of one will answer for both.
Each pad consists of a block 8, preferably formed of wood backed by a metal plate 9, which is attached thereto in any suitable manner, as by screws 10. The block is preferably elliptical in shape and is provided near theouter edge thereof with an annular undercut groove 11, extending inwardly from the face of the block,which is slightly dished, as shown at 10, and upon which is seated a sponge 12,
the e'dgesof which are forced down into the groove 1l, whereby the sponge is retained in position. Openings lextend from the outside of the block to the lower part of the groove, and through these openings water or other liquid may be supplied to the sponge without removal of the truss from the body.
Each pad so formed is attached to the plate 6 by a pivot-screw 14:, so that the pad may be adjusted on the plate as the nature of the hernia demands. The padis fixed at a desired adjustment by the binding-screws 15, which pass loosely through concentric oppositelydisposed arc slots 16, formed in the plate, permitting the pad to be turned (with respect to its length) to any degree from parallel to right angles with the length of the plate. Suitable washers 17 are placed between the plate and the heads of the screws 15.
By the construction above indicated'an improved sponge-pad is formed, and by keeping the sponge dampmuch of the discomfort and chafing due to the wearing of a truss is avoided, and the cure of the hernia is assisted. The water may be introduced through the holes 13 in any suitable manner, as by means of a small syringe, without removing the truss from the body, and the small pad assists in retaining the large pad in position, as Well as tending to prevent a double hernia.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a truss, a pad-plate, a block pivotally secured thereto having a dished face and a recess for a liquid,an absorbent cushion filling the dished portion and communicating with the recess, saidplate having an arc slot concentric with said pivot, and an adjustingscrew extending through the slot into the block.
2. A truss-pad comprising a block having a dished face with a groove at the edge thereof, an absorbent cushion filling the dished portion and extending into the groove, and a liquid-supply opening through the side wall of the block into the groove.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
ROBERT ARNI-IOLD.
