\VILLIAM M. GREENLEE, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
TRUSS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 451,817, dated May 5, 1891.
Application filed March 17, 1891. Serial 110.385.373. (No model.) i
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. GREENLEE, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Trusses, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a comfortableeffectivetrussforhernia, by which the defects of prior trusses are overcome.
Itis illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows the truss applied to the human form. Fig. 2 shows the truss in vertical section and on a larger scale.
Myimproved truss comprises a belt a, which is worn around the abdomen of the ruptured person and is attached to a plate b, carrying pads 19, which, with the plate, may be made of hard rubber or any other suitable material. There are also straps c, which are attached to the rear of the belt, and are provided with pads d and with loops, books, or other attachments by which their ends may be secured to the front of the belt. Said pads are flexible, as hereinafter explained, and are. tapering in form, decreasing in thickness downwardly, being thick at aplace immediately below the lower edge of the plate 1), so that they may supplement the action of the hard pads 17. The rear attachment of the straps c to the beltis preferably by means of buckles e, which enable the lengthof the straps to be adjusted.
hen the truss is worn, the belt a is placed around the abdomen and secured to the trussplate I). The straps are brought between the legs from the place of attachment at the middle of the rear of the belt, and are attached to the trussplate in front of the belt, and when thus adjusted the pads d fit at the sides of the privates, extending back of the same, and as the straps c extend to the middle of the back the pads are caused to press inwardly and upwardly at the sides of the scrotum, and thus retain the rupture in place. Where there is but a single rupture, only one of these pads may be used. It will be found that the truss, when constructed andworn in this manner, is of the greatest comfort and efliciency, so much so that the ruptured person may without danger perform his ordinary work, even if it be of arduous nature. The padsd are preferably made of stuffed leather pouches, ince these are soft and do not chafe or inconvenience the wearer.
I claim- In a truss, the combination of a plate I), having hard pads 12, an abdomen-encircling belt attached to the plate, and flexible stuffed pads d 01, attached to the plate and decreasing in thickness downwardly, said pads being adapted to extend to the rear of the scrotum on both sides thereof and having straps extending to the back of the belt at the middle part thereof, substantially as and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of March, A. D. 1891.
