whom it y 0071687 sections of the belt are incut as shown at it so as to fit over the crest of the pelvis and prevent rucliing of the belt. To the central portions of each section I provide gussets c, which are disposed centrally of the incut portions 7L, and serve with said portions to permit the belt to fit tightly over the hips of the wearer. The two parts of the belt on each side of the front lacing, are provided with pads (Z extending upwardly in an oblique direction, as shown in Fig. 1. These pads may be of any suitable material and are adapted, when in position on the body, to lie across the abdominal viscera at an angle of approximately 90 degrees.
The front of the belt is tightly laced while the back may be adjusted within certain lim- The belt is held in place its by the lacing. by the straps f, which are sewed on at the back the front by the fastenof Quebec, Canada, and ERNEST ABRAHAM DAVIS, of the village of ()ookshire, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Abdominal Belts, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Our invention relates to new and useful and is designed to be worn by persons who ordinarily sufler from sea-sickness.
The object of our invention is to provide a belt or truss, that when properly adjusted on the body, will produce the necessary controling pressure upon the abdominal viscera and thus prevent irritation of the large nerve .pathetic system, which is i and are attached at ers f as shown in Fig. l.
The main feature of our invention consists in so placing the pads that pressure will be brought to bear on the organs requiring such controlling pressure and on no other organs. This desideratum is best accomplished by the device shown and described, and a thorough system of tests has proven that normally healthy persons, who had heretofore su'l'l'ered greatly from sea sickness, were rendered practically immune by wearing our belt.
It will be obvious that the belt may vary in size to suit di'll'erent girths and, moreover, may be made of any suitable material whatever.
Having thus described our invention so that the same may be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it appertains, what we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is z An abdominal the disturbance of these organs causes irri tation of the solar plexus. The plexus communicates with the higher nerve centers in the brain, the vomiting center, heart center, etc., which in turn become disturbed and so produce the symptoms of sea-sickness.
Our invention is designed to produce sufficient pressure upon the abdominal viscera so that the underlying organs will be prevented from moving to any extent within the abdominal cavity.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate our invention; Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device showing the position in which it is worn on the body. Fig. 2 is a plan View showing the location of the pads within the belt.
eferring to the belt of belt comprising two flexible material, made in two similar parts, each having at its edges the eyelet holes e adapted to receive the lacing cord 6. The front of the belt is provided with aflap b, which serves to prevent abrasion the eyelets and lacing cord when the fastening ends of the belt are secured together. The lower edges of the two with lacing-openings, andv one with a terminal protee ting extension, the lower edge of each member being incut for a portion of its length so as to lit over the crest of the pelvis, an elastic gusset combined with each member at the middle portion of the incut, a pressure pad assembled with each member near its outer .79 members each provided at both terminals terminal between the gusset and the laoing- In Witness whereof We have hereunto set openings and disposed obliquely relatively to our hands in the presence of two Witnesses.
