4. A truss comprising a body-band includ-
ing side loops adapted to engage over the hips,
pads adjustably secured to the terminals of
the body-band, and an abdominal member
5 consisting of two detachably-united perfo-
rated plates between which said body-band
is received and held, and the inner one of said
plates being concaved upon its inner surface,
substantially as described.
10 5. In a truss, the combination of a body-
band formed of spring-wire bent to provide
side loops and a connecting-bar, the side loops
being adapted to engage over the hips and
their rear terminals become seated in the hol-
15 low opposite the hip-joints, and an abdomi-
nal plate applied to the intermediate portion
of the body-band and consisting of comple-
mentary parts or members between which
the body-band is clamped by the same means
20 securing the members together, substantially
as set forth.
6. In a truss, a body-band having an 'inter-
mediate depressed portion, and an abdominal
plate secured to.said depressed portion. and
25 the parts of the body-band contiguous there-
to, and having oppositely-curved.slots in its
end portions, in combination with a hernial
pad, and means for adjusting said pad to the
abdominal plate through the instrumentality
30 of either of the curved slots therein, substan-
tially as and for the purpose set forth.'
7. Ina truss, the combination with the body-
band comprising said loops and an interme-
diate connecting-bar, of an abdominal plate
35 secured to the intermediate portion of the
body - band and comprising complementary
members having corresponding perforations,
and means for connecting said members and
clamping the body-band between them, sub-
40 stantially as specified.
8. In atruss, the combination with the body-
band formed of a length of spring-wire bent
to form side loops and an intermediate con-
necting-bar, of an abdominal plate compris-
45 ing complementary members between which
the body-band is placed, one of the members
having a groove or channel to receive the
body-band, said members having correspond-
ing perforations and curved slots, and means
50 for connecting the parts comprising.the plate
and clamping the body-band between them,
substantially as described.
9. In a truss, a body-pad, an abdominal
member consisting of two detachably-united
55 perforated plates between which said body-
band is secured, in combination with an arm
bearing a hernial pad and said arm being
adjustably connected with the abdominal
member, and means for maintaining said arm
6o in an adjusted position, substantially as de-
. scribed.10. Iii a truss, a body-band, and an abdomi-
nal plate secured to the intermediate portion
of the body-band, in combination with an arm
having an arcuate slotted portion and bear- 65
ing a hernial pad, means for pivotally con-
necting the arm to any required portion of
the abdominal plate, and a fastening operat-
ing in the arcuate slot of said arm to secure
the latter in any desired angular position. 70
11. In a truss, a body-band, and an abdomi-
nal plate secured to the intermediate portion
of the body - band and having oppositely-
curved slots in its end portions, in combina-
tion with an arm having its inner end ex- 75
panded and formed with an arcuate slot and
having a hernial pad applied to its outer end,
a pivot connection adjustably securing the
arm to the abdominal plate, and .a fastening
operating in a slot of the arm and securing it 8o
in any. angular adjusted position, substan-
tially as and for the purpose set forth.
12. In a truss, the combination with the
body-band provided with an abdominal plate,
of an arm comprising inner and outer sections 85
having their opposing ends overlapping and
slotted, the inner section having an end por-.
tion expanded and, formed with a. curved slot,
means for adjustably connecting the. sections
of the arm, and a hernial pad applied to the 90
outer end of the arm, substantially as de
scribed.
13. A hernial medicament- receiving pad
comprising an outer ring portion and-a cen-
tral portion of cup form perforated, and said 95
ring having.a duct for receiving a medica-
ment, a socket secured to the ring portion
and extending into the cup, a coupling de
vice disposed in the socket for movement in
one direction the wall of the socket serving io6
to prevent movement of the coupling device
in the opposite direction, an abdominal mem-
ber, and a connection between said abdominal
member and the coupling' device, substan-
tially as described. toy
14. In a truss, the combination with an ab
dominal plate adapted to be secured to the
body-band, of a two-part extensible arm, one
part of the arm being adjustably connected
to the said abdominal-plate to move in the i1o
are of a circle,a hernial pad rotatably mounted
on the other part of the said arm and adapted
to be held in fixed adjustment thereon, and
means for preventing transverse movement
of the arm. '115
