-DARIUS GOFF, OF PA\VTUCKET, BHODE ISLAND.
FIBROUS ABSORPTIVE PAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,625, dated February 6, 1883.
Application filed April 10, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DARIUS GOFF, of Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and State of lthode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fibrous Absorptive Pads for Surgical, Dental, Therapeutic, and other similar Uses; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the drawings furnished and forming a part of the same, is a clear, true, and complete description of my invention.
The object of my invention is to provide absorptive fibrous matter in a novel form well suited for immediate usein the many and varied connections wherein fibrous absorbents are needed. The fibrous matter best suited for the purpose is cotton of the particular variety known as absorbent cotton, specially treated by well-known chemical processes for the purpose, which constitute no portionof my present invention. Such cotton has heretofore been corded, and is generally put up in the ior'm of a sliver massed in rolls by coiling or folding; and my improvement consists in incasin g said slivers of absorbent fiber within seamless braided jackets of textile material.
In a prior application for Letters Patent filed by me I have described and claimed fibrous bats or batting composed of a sliver of carded fiber inclosed in a seamless braided jacket; and although my present invention also involves a sliver of fiber inclosed within a. braided jacket it is to be distinctly understood that 1 herein limit myself to the use of such fibrous matter as is specially absorptive, and is for that reason unsuited for use in connection with batting.
To more particularlydescribe my invention, I will refer to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l illust'ates a length of absorbent pad ot' uniform diameter inclosed within a jacket in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 illustrates a series of absorbent pads united consecutively by the continuous strands composing the jacketing fabric. Fig. 3 illustrates a pad as cut for dentists uses. Fig. t represents a section of pad as out from either of the forms shown for immediate application to a wound.
I have stated that specially-prepared cotton known, for instance, that old linen rags are well suited therefor, because, being old, they closely resemble in their peculiar absorbent capacity the chemically-prepared cotton referred to, and the same in the form of lint may be employed in accordance with my invention when carded and in the form of a sliver. Whatever the character of the fiber may be, it is incased in the seamless braided jacket a, which is so open inits meshes as to in no manner obstruct the operation of the fibrous matter as an absorbent. When in a continuous length of uniform diameter, as shown in Fig. 1, the pad is coiled or folded upon itself, and it is uncoiled and cut off, as required for use, in various lengths. In Fig. 4 a short section thus cut oit' is shown as well adapted for insertion into or upon a wound, the fibrousjacket a maintaining it in proper form and enabling it to be integrally removed from the Wound when desired. cut is jacketed in sections, so that the massed strands of the inclosing-jacket at I) serve as strings for connecting said sections, which may be separated and each used as a complete pad with strings attached-as, for instance, for applying exterior remedies to the neck for sore throat, or to the limbs for injuries thereto, or for rheumatic difficulties, and such have a special value as catamenial pads, because they can be furnished at such low cost that they need be used but once and then thrown aside, thus obviating the use of the more expensive napkins and attendant inconveniences, especially while traveling.
In Fig.3 the pad is shown in a desirable form for dentists uses, one end having the massed. strands b for handling it and the other being open for the withdrawal of the fib r in small quantities, as required from time t time, the remaining mass being always maintained in proper condition, free from the wasteful and untidy tendencies now prevailing in the use of such absorbents. The seamlessjacketing fab-.
As shown in Fig.2, the absorb-' ric is composed of fine strands of cotton loosely braided.
1 am aware that for wiping machinery cardwaste and sweeping-waste have heretofore beenetnployed within loosely-woven hand-bags,
2. An absorbent pad composed of a sliver of absorbent fiber inclosed within a seamless braided jacket, the strands of which, at one or both ends thereof, are massed and serve as strings for applying the pad to use, substantially as described.
DARIUS GOFF.
