Specialest do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
My Nose Improvers are made in two peices of Rubber vulcanite or such suitable
materal to shape and improve the shape of the nose it is made broard at the bottom
and narrow at the top like the nose and a screw passes through the two pices at the
top and the bottom of the nose and two small holes are made near each screw
through which I pass a silk cord to tye round the back of the head. The Ear
Improver is made in the same materals as the nose Improver with a spring to pass
at the back of the head from ear to ear which will press back the ears by the two
vulcanite plates which are attached to spring wires. The head straightner will be
bone wood and pads of rubber or other suitable matuerals and strap to go round the
head and shoulders to make the head straight, when weakness exists which usuaily
proceeds from weakness of the spinal curvature of children and persons and will not
interfer with the free movement of the body.
And in order that my said invention and the manner of performing or carrying
the same into effect or practice may be properly understood, I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings and in which

page_text: Figure 1 shows a back view of the neck support. C, it is made to fit the neck of
perforated brass or other suitable maturals is is usually laced back and front A. Straps
may be attached by D to strap round the shoulders or straps may be attached by
B to faston round the shouldr or round the neck or down the back & to a belt
as disered to give the necesary support as disered.
Fig. 3 are the nose appliances one peice A is placed each side the nose and
A¹ A are carefully screwd to the disered tightness. B B are the holes through
which a silk ribbon or cord are passed and tied round the back of the head and by
wearing then about an hour a day will improve the shape of the nose of children
or grown up pople and will be found desirable and more convienent of application
after an opperation than has hereto been found.
Fig. 2 are ear appliances they may be made in vulcanite or metal padded and
covered with leather as desired, and sliding B B bands or springs of steel are
attached about the midel of the appliances which pass round the back of the head,
and one sliding band is attached at the top of the appliance and passes round the
top of the head from the top of the head, & a steal sliding band or silk rubbon or
cord are attached at the top of the head and the back of the head as shown on
Fig. 4 which arrangement presses back the cartilage of the ears of children or
persons as required & will be found more convienent of application after an operation
or for any other purpos than has hitherto been found.
Having now particularly discribed and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
First. My nose appliances substantially as described with screws and ties as
delinated on the drawings and discribed in this specification.
Second. The ear appliances substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
Third. My improved perforated neck and head support substantially as described
