Richard, Hans, Heinrich Carl, Julius Gagzow, Surgeon-Oculist of 411 Beckergrube in Liibeck, German Empire do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par¬ ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement: — My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in winding- or rolling-devices for bandages and the like, especially when unrolling same for studying or examining a wound or the like, and has for its object to improve such winder or roller in such a manner'that I am enabled to take off a bandage very quickly and in a perfect order for re bandaging same when done with the examination or the like. A further object of my said invention is take off an approximately large length of the bandage by one single revolution of the winding-device when unwinding as well as when putting on, thereby considerably shortening the time of attending for the patient. A third object of the invention is to prevent the crumpling of the bandage when unrolling same, and to enable the sick or patient himself to attend to his wound or the like without necessarily consulting every time a physician. I obtain these objects by the mechanism or device illustrated in the accom¬ panying drawing, in which: — Figure 1 shews my new invention used while bandaging an arm, Figure 2 shews same in perspective view drawn at a larger scale, Figure 3 illustrates a further modification in front view and open position and Figure 4 a vertical section of same according to line 3—3 of Figure 3. Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the description. My new invention consists of a roll or cylinder /l/ of suitable length and material. Preferably wood is employed and a length as wrell as a diameter of about five centimeters. On each end of said cylinder J1/ an excavation /2/ and /3/ is provided with a small central hole /4/ in each excavation for the purpose of inserting the points of the thumb and one of the other, preferably that of the fore-finger. In the modification shewm in Figures 3 and 4 a section /5/ of the cylinder /l/ is cut off and both parts of the roller connected to each other by means of hinges J6J or the like. Said hinge or hinges /6/ are preferably countersunk for the purpose of getting an entirely smooth winding-surface for the cylin¬ der /I 5/ As hinges may be used either common iron- or brass-hinges or such manufactured of leather or rubber or the like When using my new invention for unrolling a bandage from the wound or the like I first insert the upper end between the cylinder /!/ and the sector /£/ in the manner shewn in Figure /!/ and start then the unrolling of the bandage the common way. , , 1 . . , From the foregoing so easily may be seen that by employing my new wind- or rolling-device bv one revolution of same a considerably large end of the [Price 8c/.]
