This little device is well adapted for cases of fracture of the lower extremity where the method of extension by weight and cord is adopted. The rope of the extending weight runs over the little pulley wheel while the whole apparatus can be fastened temporarily to the foot of any ordinary bedstead, or hospital bed by means of the sliding piece and the thumb screw. It can be put on in a minute and removed with equal rapidity, and is always ready for use. The cord running over the little wheel instead of rubbing over the edge of the bed is also more agreeable to the patient.
