wamm UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 19, 1905.
Application filed October 27, 1904. Serial No. 230,195.
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH GRIFFITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Catamenial Sacks, of which the following is a specification.
My invention pertains to catamenial sacks i. e., devices for catching and holding menstrual and other uterine discharges of women and preventing the same from getting on the person or underclothing; and it has for its object to provide a catamenial sack which while highly efficient in Opera tion is simple, light, and inexpensive in construction and is adapted when not in use to be compactly folded.
YVith the foregoing in mind the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claim, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the catamenial sack constituting the present and preferred embodiment of my invention as the same appears when distended and ready for use. Fig. 2 is a plan view illustrating the sack as folded; and Figs. 3 and 4 are detail sections taken in the planes indicated by the lines 3 3 and 4 4, respectively, of Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.
The catamenial sack constituting the pres ent and preferred embodiment of my invention comprises a body A, presently described in detail, and forward and rear tabs B, the said tabs being preferably of elastic material and equipped with buckles O, whereby they may be readily connected to and disconnected from straps depending from a belt. Inasmuch as the straps and belt just mentioned form no part of my invention, I have deemed it unnecessary to illustrate the same.
My invention chiefly resides in the body A. The said body is formed of textile or other soft material, preferably material that is substantially impervious to li uid, and is provided at its ends with folds l whereby when it is opened or distended, as shown in Fig. 1,
it is adapted to serve as a receptacle for and hold absorbent material, medicated material, or the like in such manner as to enable said material to catch all of the uterine discharges of a woman and prevent the same from getting on the person or underclothing. The folds D are oppositely disposed-that is, one is turned toward the right and the other toward the left, as illustrated-and hence it will be observed that the sack may be collapsed and compactly folded after the manner shown in Fig. 2, so as to take up but a minimum amount of space in a bureau-drawer or the like when not in use.
As best shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the tabs B are disposed at the outer sides of the folds D. This is advantageous, because the folds present additional thicknesses of material at the points where the tabs are connected and add materially to the strength and durability of the connections, and also because stitches (indicated by a) serve the twofold function of securing the folds and connecting the tabs.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing that while my novel catamenial sack is highly efficient in catching and holding uterine discharges it is so shaped as to conduce to the comfort of a woman when at rest or when walking, also that the sack is simple and inexpensive in construction and is well adapted to withstand the laundering necessary to repeated use.
I have specifically described the construction of the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart a full, clear, and exact understanding of the said embodiment. I do not desire, however, to be understood as confining myself to such specific construction, as such changes or modifications may be made in practice as fairly fall within the scope of my invention as claimed.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
The herein described catamenial sack made up of a sack-like body, of soft material, having oppositely-disposed folds D at its end extending throughout the height of said ends; said folds adapting the sack when opened or In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand 1n presence of two subscribing wit- 1o nesses.
JOSEPH GRIFFITH.
