Feriorated Sticking-plasLOT.
We, HEINRICH VON GIMBORN, MAX VON GIMBORN and Dr. AUGUST VON
GIMBORN, all three of s'Herenberger Chaussee No. 28, Emmerich on the Rhine,
Germany, all three Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention
be as follows:-
The now commonly used sticking-plaster known in the trade as court plaster,"
and generally of white or pink color, has before being used to be cut into pieces of
proper size, corresponding to the extent of the wound.
A pair of scissors, however, is not usually at hand, nor, often, even a knife; to
cut the plaster, moreover, with the latter is extremely inconvenient, and can,
infecd, scarcely be done without an appropriate surface upon which to lay the
plaster.
In order to obviate these inconveniences, the plaster according to the present
invention is divided into sections of convenient size by means of perforations, that
is by a series of small holes lying close to one another, in the same manner as in
postage stamps.
Should it be desired to apply a piece of the plaster upon a wound, it is only
necessary to tear off a piece of appropriate size, according to the perforated lines.
It is on this account advantageous to divide the plaster into sections of as great
a variety of sizes as possible.
Instead of circular holes, holes of other form can be employed; for instance long
shaped holes, or indentations and incisions.

The now commonly used sticking-plaster known in the trade as court plaster,"
and generally of white or pink color, has before being used to be cut into pieces of
proper size, corresponding to the extent of the wound.
A pair of scissors, however, is not usually at hand, nor, often even a knife, to cut
the plaster, moreover the latter is extremely inconvenient, and can, indeed, scarcely
be done without an appropriate surface upon which to lay the plaster.
In the accompanying drawing the
Fig. 1 is a top-view of the new plaster,

Should it be desired to apply a piece of the plaster upon a wound, it is only
necessary to tear off a piece of appropriate size, according to the perforated liues.
It is on this account advantageous to divide the plaster into sections of as great
a variety of sizes as possible.
Instead of circular holes, holes of other form can be employed; for instance long
shaped holes b, as shewn in Fig. 2, or indentations and incisions c, as in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :
A sticking-plaster, divided by perforations or incisions into sections of convenient
size, as and for the purpose set forth.
