being bad to the accompanying drawings,
forming a part hereof.
This invention isan instrument for sup-porting a falling womb and for medicinally treating a diseased womb; and-it consists in certain" I novel features hereinafter first fully described and then particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the annexed drawings, which fully illustrate my invention, Figure. 1 is an elevation of the instrument arranged as a womb-supporter. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the instrument arranged to apply medicine to the womb.
The instrument comprises a stem 1 and a base 2, formed integral with or secured to the lower end of the stem, the said base having a concave upper side adapted to fit against and receive the os or apex of the womb. Extending from the edge of the base2 is a flexible flange or apron 3, which is adapted 'to rest upon the walls of the vagina, and thereby support the device in position. This wall or flange or apron 3 is provided with a ring or rim 4 at its annular extremity to prevent collapsing and is adapted to be reversed or carried upward, so as to surround the stem and form a large cup, in which may be placed with the stem entering the mouth of the Womb and the concave side of the base fitting against the os. In this position the depending flange or Wall 3 will rest lightly upon the walls of the vagina and will bear closely against the same, so that the device will be held in position by atmospheric pressure, as well as by Specification of Letterslatent.
