I inittab tats @anni @frn IMPROVEMENT IN ABDOMINAL SUPPORTERS.
@Le tlgrhule moet tt 1u tinte Etnias hnelt mit nuttig wat tf tigt ann.
TO WHOM 1T MAY OONCERN:
Bc it known that I, LTARED THOMPSON, of Milwaukee, Milwaukee county, in the State oti- Wisconsin, have invented a new land useful Improvement in liters- Abdominal Supporters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, aud-exact description of said invention.
vThe nature and operation of my improvement consist in a pessary on a small, short wire or bar, which bar passes vertically down into a small cylinder; that end of the bar which is in the cylinder being attached to and supported by a spiral spring or other flexible substance, which will, when pressure is alternately exerted and removed on the pessary in a perpendicular direction, cause the pessary to act and react vertically with ease and certainty.
The nature of my invention also consists in thc use and operation of two sacral pads, elliptically-shaped, which are attached to the en ds and inside of a metallic bar placed across the spine horizontally, just back of' the upper part of the hips ofthe wearer, the pads being attached to the bar by means of Screws passing through one of the foci of earch of the pads, the pads being, at the-will of the wearer, lcept loose or firm by means oi the screws, and susceptible of such-movement on the screws or axes as the wearer may desire.
The nature of myl invention also consists in attaching to each end of the bar above named, a spring, in such a manner that each shall rest-v partly on and parallel with said bar, and also to rest partly on and hold in position the ends of the wires, which are attached to the ends of the bar.
To enable those skilled in the art to understand and make my improvement, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my utero-abdominal supporter.
Figure 2 represents a side view of thc pcssary, wire cylinder, and spiral spring which support the pessary.
Figure 3 represents a full view of the lower edge of the abdominal pad.
Figure 4 'represents a full view of the outer side of the abdominal pad.
Figure 5 represents a direct view of the edges of the sacral pads and bar to which they are attached.
Figure 6 represents a direct back view of the saeral pads and bar and the curved wires, with a direct side view of` the springs which are attached to the bar. This figure also represents a second position of one ot` the saeral pads by the dots used.
Figure 'T represents a full view of one of the curved wires which are attached to the bar when worn;
All of the drawings are lettered, and similar letters denote corresponding parts in the several views.
l construct my utero-abdominal supporter by forming a cup-like pessary, a, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, made of silver, gum, or rubber. Pessary a is supported on a short wire, P, made of silver or any other suitable substance, one end of which is attached to the bottom part ot' the pessary, and the other end passes perpendicularly down .into cylinder g, and there rests upon and Kis attached to spiral spring b. Cylinder q is supported by and attached to wire or arm c. Spiral spring I) is inserted into cylinder 7. Instead of Va spiral'spring any other iexible substance maybe used which will accomplish the same result.v Arme is supported by passing through projection Z, which is firmly set to the lower part of abdominal pad c. Arm c is held firmly in the desired position by set-screw'fl, as shown by fig. 1. Abdominal pad e is supported by curved wiresff, which have hooks on the end. The hooks which attach to pad e pass through projections 7c c, which projections are made fast to pad c. Curved wiresff are inserted in wire tubes to render them easy to the wearer. These wires are supported by bar g, through the ends of which a hook, oneach of wires, passes at right angles to bar g. Bar g is a few inches in length, and a little bent forward at the ends.' 'lhe ends of those wires which are attached to bar g are held inutheir holes by springs z' z', as seen in fig. 6. These springs are dat, and of the width of-barg, and are made fast to said bar by screws or rivets m m. The springs rest partly on the har and partly on the wires ff. Pads L 7L arc elliptically shaped, and are attached to bar g upon the inside thereof, by means of screws n 9twhich pass through one of the foci of cach of the pads. These pads have thc screws n n as axes, and revolve on them at the will of the wearer, and may be moved to such positions as best to suit the form of the wearer. They operate as a protection to the spine.`
Having stated the construction and operation of my invention, what 1 claim, is
The adjustable pads 7L it attached to thc bar g, substantially in the manner described and for the purpose set forth.
The abdominal pad c, provided with the loop Z and its setscrcw d, the supporting wire c provided with a spring-case, I), and the pessary a, when constructed and arranged as set forth.
I also claim the attaching to the bar above described two Springs, for the purpose and 1n the manner substantially as above sct forth. JARD THOMPSON- Witnesses:
