In Equity. Suit by Sharp & Smith, a corporation, against the Physicians’ & Surgeons’ Appliance Company.
1Opinion of the Court
SANBORN, District Judge.
Suit for infringement of patent No. 594,673 for a combined jock-strap and suspensory issued to Charles F. Bennett November 30, 1897, and for an injunction and accounting in the usual form. The defenses are that the patent is invalid and non-infringement. Defendant’s bandage is an exact counterpart of complainant’s in material, shape, and function, but is put together in a different way. It is claimed by defendant that, if the patent is valid, it must be construed so narrowly as to cover a bandage made precisely as described in the patent claim, excluding' any other.
