    Provisional Specification. Arnold’s Improved Manufacture of Bandages, Padding, fyc. / % .* i, the sheet with tubes thereon I employ a rubber having a corrugated or other uneven surface, with preferably, perforations therein, or I adopt such other equivalent shapes or means as aforesaid, whereby an uneven surface is given to the rubber, my object being to produce a bandage, splint, bed, or mattress, through which air is free to pass, and at the 5 same time for it to be flexible. To make the splint or material stiff I pass wire, cane, or other suitable material through it or through the tubes in same. Material made according to my Invention is preferably made in strips, pieces, or lengths, so that such a length or quantity as is required for 10 any particular purpose can be cut off. Padding, splints, bandages, beds, mattresses, and the like made according to this Invention are flexible, light, and cleanly.
