EYE-CAP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 30, 1912.
Application filed November 6, 1911. Serial No. 658,704.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HAMILTON MORGAN, citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Eye-Caps, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to eye-caps or devices for keeping the eyelids of the dead closed.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, cheap, practical eye-cap, which 'will be transparent and therefore practically invisible when in position under the lids thereby giving a neat and desirable appearance; and which cap is provided with an adhesive substance to prevent the eyelids from opening without resorting to the use of sharp projections or hooks which are objectionable because they unnecessarily mutilate the bodies of the dead, and suggest the idea of harshness, which the modern undertaker desiresparticularly to avoid.
The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts -as hereinafter more fully described and claimed having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the figure illustrates the invention.
A represents a spheroidal shell, which may be circular or oblong, preferably made of transparent celluloid and shaped to conform to the human eye. The outer surface of the shell or cap A is generally smooth, but in order to maintain the eyelids closed, it has a portion of its surface applied with an adhesive substance, such as animal glue, or deXtrin. Preferably the cap is provided with a number of small perforations forming minute pockets for the glue or adhesive and thereby insuring a more tenacious hold for the lids. WVhen placed on the eyes of the dead the eyelids being once closed are prevented from opening again by means of the adhesive, and the natural appearance is preserved, particularly by using a transparent cap, since the cap will not show through the tissues of the eyelid.
\Vhile I prefer to use celluloid, any other suitable material will do as isinglass, gelatin, silicate of soda or glass. Neither do I wish to limit myself to any particular adhe- HAMILTON MORGAN.
