Fig. 13 is an end elevation illustrating use of -The frame bars 1 may be supported on the bed the splint for producing tension on theforearm: by any suitable means, preferably. by, means of The splint comprises a base frame, for. supa supporting frame composed of opposite bars 5 porting the upper arm; andaperpendicularsplint adjustably connected at theirfupper ends to the 55 frame for supporting theforearm. -'-I'he -base bars 1 by a s Of bolts 5 h h y be enga with perforations 1e in the bars 1 and secured by thumb nuts. Each of the bars 5 is pivoted at its lower end to a clamp member 6 provided with an adjustable bolt 6a tapped through the lower jaw thereof, the upper jaw of the clamp engaging the side rail R of the bed in which the patient is lying (see Fig. 1). The angle of adjustment of the base frame 1 can be varied by means of links 6b, pivoted on the clamp members 6 and having slots 60 transfixed by bolts 50 passed through the slots in links 61) and into the bars 5 and secured by thumb nuts 5d (see Figs. 1 and The bars 5 may be braced by a tie rod or bolt 5e adjacent their upper ends, whichrod or bolt Se is adjustable by means of a thumb nut 5 Mounted on the base frame isan adjustable cross-plate '7 (Figs. 1, 2 and 6) which can be secured in position on bars 1 by clamp bolts provided with thumb nuts 7a. The cross-piece carries a standard 7b, in the upper bifurcated end.
of which is journaled a pulley 7c. The standard 7b may be threaded through the piece 7 so that it can be adjusted up or down, and may be locked in adjusted position by means of opposed thumb nuts 7e.
To the outer face of end piece 1a of the base frame is secured a bracket carrying a pulley 1h (Figs. 1, 2 and 1) and attached to the inner face of said end piece 1a is a bracket 1i in which is mounted a pulley 1 Mounted in the bars 2 adjacent the end bar 2a is a rotatable shaft 8 (Figs. 1, '7 and 8) to which a cord may be attached. On one end of this shaft 8 is a disk 8a, preferably knurled, having ratchet teeth 81) on its inner face (Figs; 7 and 8) These teeth are adapted to be engaged by a pawl 80 which is normally pressed outward by a flat spring 8d on which the pawlis mounted, the spring being attached at one end to the adjacent bar 2 and carrying a thumb piece orbutton 8e. By pressing button 8e inwardly the pawl 80 can be disengaged from the ratchet 8b.
In preparing the apparatus for use, the base frame and the perpendicular splint frame are adjusted to convenient positions to receive the patientsarm preparatory to bandaging it. To support the arm during bandaging I provide detachable pads, see Figs. 9 and 10, which preferably consist of felt pads 9b carried by adjustable straps 9 connecting hooks 9a. The hooks So can be engaged with opposed perforations 1e or 2c in the opposite bars 1, or 2 respectively, A sulficient number of these pads are placed in position to comfortably support the patients arm during the bandaging, and these pads 9b constitute the main support of the arm and forearm as long as the splint is used. V
p In operation when tension is desired for the upper arm the two pulleys 7c and 17' are used. Adhesive tapes (not shown) are wrapped along and around the upper arm when in the position shown in Fig. 11, and a cord 20 is attached at the elbow where the tapes converge and is passed over one of the pulleys '10 or 11', with a weight 21 attached at the other end of the cord to produce the desired tension. .This tension on the upper arm also tends to hold the rubber-covered ring 1b, 1c of the splint against the patients side and shoulder thereby securing necessary stability.
If it is desired to keep the upper arm in a horizontal position the cord. 20 is run over pulley 17', as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 11. The pulley 7c is used if a slightly upward pull or tension away from the horizontal is desired and the cord passed over pulleys 7c and 171. as shown in full lines in Fig. 11. The pulley 7c is, as hereinbefore stated, adjustable as to height, and may be adjusted at any time should it become necessary. If adhesive tapes cannot be used around the upper arm a Steinman pin 22 is inserted through the lower part of the humerus, and the cord 20 and Weight 21 attached to the pin in the same manner above described.
The perpendicular splint frame in which the forearm is bandaged is used mostly as an exerciser. In order to keep the muscles soft and pliable the patient may swing the arm back and forth against the action of the opposed sprirms 4d (Fig. 3) which being oppositely acting tend to keep the perpendicular frame upright. These forearm in a certain position, relative. to the humerus, and the pulley 1h is usedfor that purpose. A cord 23 is fastened to the shaft 8 and run through pulley 1h to a weight or fixed object 24 on the floor, as shown in Fig. 12. ."10E
The ratchet 8b and pawl 8c at the end of the perpendicular frame (Figs. '7 and 8) is used for tension on the forearm. As shown in Fig. 13 adhesive tapes 26 are applied along the forearm andthe ends secured to a cross member 28 sus ilh pended from a cord 27 attached to a peg 8:): on shaft 8. When the ratchet 8a is turned the proper tension on the forearm may be obtained, and the pawl. will prevent backward rotation of the shaft 8. "711! I claim:--
1. In a splint of the character specified, a base frame comprising opposite side bars, supporting members adjustably mounted on said bars, a splint-frame comprising opposite bars respective 12( ly pivotally attached to the said suporting members,- spring members at opposite sides of the splint-frame and respectively connected to the splint-frame and to the supporting members and adapted to hold the splint frame perpendicular? 121 to the base frame.

3. In a splint of the character specified, a base frame comprising opposite parallel bars, a split ring connecting the inner ends of the bars, sup? porting members adjustably mounted on said bars, a splint frame comprising opposite bars respectively pivotally attached to the said supporting members, telescopic spring members at opposite sides of the splint-frame and respec tively connected to the splint-frame bars and to the supporting members and adapted to hold the splint-frame perpendicular to the base frame, means for supporting the upper arm of a patient in said base frame, and means for supporting 14 the forearm of the patient in the splint-frame,
4. In a splint asset forth in claim 3, supporting bars connected with the bars of the base frame, clamps connected to the lower ends of said supporting bars adapted to engage the side the splint frame and adjustable longitudinally of the base frame normally holding the splint frame perpendicular to the base frame.
6. In a splint as set forth in claim 5, supports connected. with side bars of the base frame, clamps connected to said supports adapted to engage the side rail of a bed, and bracing links connected to said clamps and adjustably connected to said supports.
