Letters Patent No. dated November 12 1867.
IMPROVEMENT IN MENSTRUAL RECEIVER.
Sttt)rult rtfra.6 tlt in Brat gttttrs Vend anb' making art vi tkt TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I S. L. HOCKERT of the city of Chicago county of Cook and State of Illinois have invented a new and useful Improvement in Menstrual Receivers and I hereby declare that the following is a fall clear and exact description of my invention reference being had to the aceompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in the use of a sack made of rubber or any other suitable materials at the orifice of which is attached a ring made of rubber or any other suitable substance which sack and ring are inserted in the vagina and supported there by a wire the os uteri resting in the ring. The wire which supports the ring is attached thereto firmly and passes down the vagina to its external orifice thence in a curved line to a' pad which rests on the lower part of the abdomen and this pad is secured to the wearer by a belt which passes around the person just above the hips.
To enable those skilled in the art to understand make and operate my improvement I will proceed to describe its construction by reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my whole invention
Figure 2 represents a side view of the sack ring and wire
Figure 3 represents a full view of the ring and its external orifice.
All of the drawings are lettered and similar letters denote corresponding pals in the several views.
I construct my menstrual receiver by forming a cupshaped ring a made of rubber gum gold silver or any suitable substance which maybe made round or elliptical or of any shape to fit the os uteri. Around the lower orifice of ring a i$ attached a sack or bag b made of rubber or any suitable material' The ring a rests around the os uteri and the bag b rests entirely in the vagina ormay be made of such length as to rest partly outside and partly inside. I insert a small sponge in bag b to absorb the menstrual flux. To the ring a is attached a wire or arm c made of silver'or of any other suitable substance and supports ring a and sack —b in position. Arm a passes directly downward from the place of its attachment to ring a along the side of sack b and on reaching the orifice of the vagina curves gradually upwards as shown in fig. 2 and passes perpendicularly through projection lit and is there held fast b3reiteciWd the arm being free to move in a vertical direction when the setscrew is loose. Projection h is firmly attached to pad e as shown by fig. 1. Pad e is made of silver rubber or any suitable substance and may be of any shape to fit the form of the wearer. This pad is attached to belt f f by thread or in any other convenient manner and is supported by said belt ff in its place. The belt f f is fastened around the waist of the wearer by buckle g. I is a cord attached in any convenient manner to the bottom of sack b and used for the purpose of enabling the wearer to remove the sack from the vagina with ease.
Having stated the construction and operation of my invention what I claim is
The construction and combination of ring a sack b and arm c for the purposes and in the manner substantially as hereinbefore shown.
I also claim the combination of ring a sack b arm c and cord i for the purposes and in the manner as hereinbefore set forth or their equivalent.
I also claim a combination of ring a sack b arm c cord i pad e projection a setscrew d belt f f and bud:le g for the purpose and in the manner hereinbefore set forth.
