PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastenings for Surgical Bandages and the like.
We, EDMUND LLOYD PHILLIPS PARKER, of Castle Donington, in the County of
Leicester, Chemist, and HARRY MOUNTFORD Woon, of High Street, Draycott,
in the County of Derby, Surgical Instrument Maker, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention is chiefly designed for use in securing surgical bandages, but
as will be readily understood upon referring to the description of same it may
be applied to other similar purposes.
In carrying out our said invention we employ two pieces of metal or the like
hinged together upon one side and carrying teeth notches or their equivalents
upon their meeting faces adapted to pass into or through the material; at the
opposite side the said pieces are fastened together in any suitable manner such as
by a catch or clip of any suitable description, the lower of the two pieces is laid
upon a fold of the bandage or the like and another turn of said bandage is made
thereon, the upper part is now turned down and secured by means of the catch
or clip; any suitable device being provided such as a projection on the clip or
catch end of the bed plate for opening same when desired.
It is evident that any desired form of tooth, notch or roughening may be
employed upon the meeting faces and also different forms of hinges or catches
at the opposite ends of the pieces without departing from the spirit of our
invention.
