BUST-DEVELO PER.

$BEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 738,339, dated September 8, 1903. Application filed January 10, 1903. Serial No. 138,536. (No model.)

To atZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SIDNEY P. MADEIRA and JOHN J. PURCELL, citizens of the United States, residing at Pueblo, in the county of Pueblo and State ofOolorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bust- Developers; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable oth ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements involved in the construction of an appliance adapted for the development or enlargement of certain parts of the body, as will be hereinafter more clearly described and claimed.

The prime object of our invention, among others, is to provide reliably-efiicient means whereby the development or enlargement of the bust of a female may be attained.

A further object is to provide a simple though efficient mechanism whereby either or both members may be acted upon simultaneously or individually, as preferred.

Other objects and advantages will he here'- inafter made clearly apparent, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part of this application, and in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of our invention complete ready for use. Fig. 2 shows a central section of one of the cup-shaped members. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal central section of the pump and its housing. Fig. 4 is a similar view taken at right angles to that presented in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail showing the edge of one of the cup shaped members provided with cushioning means for the protection of the parts.

In order to conveniently refer to the details of our invention and accessories deemed necessary to illustrate a practical application thereof to use, numerals will be employed, the same numeral applying to a similar part throughout the several views.

In carrying out our invention we provide, preferably, a pair of cup-shaped members 1 and 2, which may be made any preferred size and of any suitable material which will give them a rigid form and shape, said cup-shaped members each being provided with a preferably integral tubular extension 3 and 4, respectively. The tubular extension 3 preferably terminates in a threaded end section 5 and is also provided near said terminal with an integral tubular extension 6, which is so formed as to be enlarged into a rectangular housing or body-section 7, the upper end of which is inclosed and provided with a plurality of apertures for a purpose hereinafter particularly set forth. The housing 7 is also provided with the diaphragm 9, having a central aperture 10, over which is disposed the outwardly-moving fiap-valve 11, which thus forms the lower end of the cylinder 12, within which reciprocates the piston 13, having upon its lower end a suitable piston-head and valve 14, whereby when said valve 14 is drawn outward by the rotation of the crank-shaft 15 the air will be drawn upward through the opening 10 until the cylinder 12 is filled, when a reverse movement of the piston-rod 13 and its valve 14 willcause the flap-valve 11 to close the opening 10, when the valve 14 will open, and thereby permit the free inward movement of said valve and. piston, to which it is connected. By this arrangement it is therefore obvious that since the pipe-sections 3 and 4 are tubular the air will be drawn therefrom by means of said pump just described and will create a vacuum within the cup-shaped members 1 and 2, which being pressed tightly in engagement with the skin will insure that the breasts will be drawn into said cup-shaped members, and thereby extended or uniformly drawn outward throughout their entire surface, the result being that a repetition of this operation will insure a permanent enlargement of the parts acted upon.

The pipe-sections 3 and 4 and cupeshaped members 1 and 2 being rigid, it becomes desirable to provide suitable means for adjusting the relative distance of separation of the cup-shaped members, and with this purpose in view we form the free end section 5 of the tubular member 3 of sufficient size to snugly receive the free end of the tubular member 4, thus disposing said terminals in telescopic union, whereby the cup-shaped members may be readily drawn toward each other or separated to compensate for the position of the parts operated upon. In order to make the located withinsaid cap it is obvious that an air-tight joint may be easily provided.

The crank-shaft 15 is provided with suitable bearings in the housing 7 and has rigidly secured thereto near its outer end a gear 18, designed to mesh with the driving-gear 19, carried by the shaft 20, the inner end of said shaft being seated in suitable bearings provided in the bracket 21, while the outer end of said shaft finds a bearing in a contiguous part of the housing and extends entirely through said housing to provide means for connecting the cran 22, whereby power may be manually applied to drive said gears and rotate said crank, and thereby operate the pump.

The cup-shaped members being formed of vulcanized rubber or other similar rigid materialitbecomes desirable to provide suitable reinforcement for the free edges thereof whereby the parts of the body coming in contact therewith will not be injured, and with this purpose in "iew we form in the free edge of both of said members 1 and 2 an annularly-disposed dovetailed groove 23, designed to receive the dovetailed rib 24, formed upon the inner edge of the cushion 25, which latter is formed of soft rubber or equivalent thereof.

It will be understood that the varipus parts of our invention may be formed of any suitable material and that the complete apparatus may be provided with one or two eupshaped members, as may be preferred. If

one cup-shaped member only is employed, the terminal of the tubular section 4 may be entirely withdrawn from the tubular section 3, in which case the cap 16 may be entered in place upon the threaded end 5 after a disk of cup-shaped member, so as to entirely close the opening 17, and it is therefore obvious that when the cap 16 is turned home upon its threaded seat the disk of paper or rubber will make an air-tight joint, and thus enable the single cup-shaped member 1 to be used for the purpose specified.

' While we have described the preferred construction and combination of parts deemed necessary in materializing our invention, we wish to comprehend such substantial equivalents and substitutes as may be considered as falling fairly Within the scope of our invention.

Believing that the advantages and manner of using our improved apparatus will thus be made fully apparent by the foregoing specification, considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, further description is deemed unnecessary.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described bust-developer consisting of the cup-shaped members 1 and 2; suitable means to operatively connect and disconnect said members whereby an air-tight joint will be provided, in combination with a suitable housing operatively connected with said tubular extensions and having a pumping apparatus within said housing designed to exhaust the air within the cup-shaped members, said cup-shaped members being provided upon their free edges with suitable' cushioning devices, all combined substantially as specified and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
