Description

Künstliches Bein mit einer durch Saugwirkung auf dem Beinstumpf zu befestigenden Hülse Die Erfindung betrifft ein künstliches Bein mit einer durch Saugwirkung auf dem Bein stumpf zu befestigenden Hülse, bei dem das Vakuum zwischen Beinstumpf und Gliedhülse durch eine Saugpumpe erzeugt wird.Artificial leg with a suction effect on the leg stump too fastening sleeve The invention relates to an artificial leg with a through Suction on the leg butt to be attached sleeve, in which the vacuum between Leg stump and limb sleeve is generated by a suction pump.

Es sind bereits künstliche Beine dieser Art bekanntgeworden, bei welchen die Prothese am Stumpf dadurch festgehalten wird, daß gegen den Stumpf gewendete, gegebenenfalls von einer gelochten BrücLe bedeckte Kanäle der Prothese in Verbindung mit einem selbstschließenden Verschluß stehen, weicher mit einer Saugpumpe verbunden werden kann. Artificial legs of this type have already become known at which the prosthesis is held on the stump by turning against the stump, channels of the prosthesis, possibly covered by a perforated bridge, in connection stand with a self-closing lock, more softly connected to a suction pump can be.

Die Saugpumpe wird nach erreichtem Vakuum von der Hülse des Beinstumpfes wieder entfernt.After the vacuum has been reached, the suction pump is removed from the sleeve of the leg stump removed again.

Eine derartige Prothese schafft zwar bei einwandfreier Lagerung des Beinstumpfes in der Gliedhüise ein Vakuum, doch erfüllt dieses seinen Zweck nicht; denn es ist ohne weiteres klar, daß dasselbe in kurzer Zeit durch eindringende Luft wiederaufgehoben wird. Eine absolute Dichtheit wird zwischen Stumpf und ,Hülse niemals erreicht werden, schon deshalb nicht, weil die Hülse immer weich und deshalb porös sein muß. Das auf diese Weise erreichte Vakuum kann also nie von langer Dauer sein, so daß es in kurzen Intervallen jeweils durch Nenansetzen der Saugpumpe immer wieder neugeschaffen werden müßte. Dieser Umstand schließt natürlich die praktische Verwendung aus. Such a prosthesis creates when the The stump of the leg creates a vacuum in the limb, but this does not serve its purpose; for it is immediately clear that the same thing can be done in a short time by penetrating air is repealed. There is never an absolute tightness between the stump and the sleeve can be achieved, if only because the sleeve is always soft and therefore porous have to be. The vacuum achieved in this way can never last long, so that it is repeated at short intervals by applying the suction pump would have to be recreated. This fact naturally excludes practical use the end.

Bei dem künstlichen Bein nach der Erfindung werden die vorstehend aufgeführten Mängel dadurch beseitigt, daß die S,augpumpe im Innern des künstlichen Unterschenkels untergebracht ist und daß in die Wandung der Gliedhülse ein Überdruckventil eingebaut ist, wobei die Saugpumpe durch Aufsetzen des künstlichen Fußes beim Gehen dadurch betätigt wird, daß die Bewegungen einer unter der Sohle des Fußes angeordneten Feder mittels Hebellübersetzung auf die Saugpumpe übertragen werden. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß sich das Vakuum bei jedem Schritt neu bildet, wenn durch irgendwelche Umstände eine Verschlechterung oder Aufhebung desselben eintreten sollte, wobei das zusätzlich angeordnete Überdruckventil die Regelung für das jeweils benötigte Vakuum vornimmt. Es ist das besondere Merkmal der Erfindung, daß durch das in der Wandung der Gliedhülse angeordnete Überdruckventil in Verbidung mit der durch die Gehbewegung in Tätigkeit versetzten Saugpumpe das zum dauernden Haften der Prothese benötigte Vakuum erzeugt bzw. geregelt wird. Diese Kombination des erfindungsgemäßen Vakuumbeines verbürgt ein sicheres Arbeiten desselben und stellt daher auf diesem Gebiete eine wesentliche Bereicherung gegenüber dem bis her Bekannten dar. In the artificial leg according to the invention, the above The defects listed above are eliminated by the fact that the suction pump is inside the artificial Lower leg is housed and that a pressure relief valve in the wall of the link sleeve is built-in, the suction pump by putting on the artificial foot while walking is actuated by the movements of a placed under the sole of the foot Spring can be transferred to the suction pump by means of a lever transmission. This will achieves that the vacuum builds up anew with each step, if through any Circumstances a worsening or annulment of the same should occur, whereby the additionally arranged pressure relief valve regulates what is required in each case Vacuum. It is the special feature of the invention that by the in the Wall of the link sleeve arranged overpressure valve in connection with the through the Walking movement put the suction pump into action for the permanent Adhere the prosthesis required vacuum is generated or regulated. This combination the vacuum leg according to the invention guarantees safe working of the same and therefore represents an essential enrichment in this area compared to the bis her acquaintances.

Auf der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungs gegenstand in einer Ausführungsform bcispielsweise dargestellt, und zwar zeigt Fig. I das neue Kunstbein im Längsschnitt, Fig. 2 die Saugpumpe im belasteten Zustande und Fig. 3 dasselbe wie Fig. 2 im unbelasteten Zu stande. In the drawing, the subject of the invention is in one embodiment bc for example shown, namely Fig. I shows the new artificial leg in longitudinal section, FIG. 2 shows the suction pump in the loaded state and FIG. 3 the same as FIG. 2 in the unloaded state Conditions.

Die Saugpumpe besteht aus einem Metalls faltenbalg 1, der ziehharmonikaartig auseinandergezogen werden kann und durch die eigene Federkraft immer wieder in die Endlage zurückgeht. Anschlißend sitzt als Hubverlängerer ein schrenartig ausgebildetes Hebelsystem 2. das den Zweck hat. eine kleine Hubbewegung zu vergrößern. Die ganze Saugvorrichtung wird in dem festen Drehpunkt 3 und durch den Halter 4 der an der Prothese befestigt ist, gehalten wie dies Fig. 1 veranschaulicht. Der Vorgang beim Gehen ist folgender: In Fig. I ist das Kunstbein belastet dargestellt, wenn also das Körpergewicht auf dem Bein ruht. Wird nun das Bein angehoben, dann hebt sich die Feder 5 um etwa 2 mm von der Unterlage ab. Dieser Hub wird durch den ungleichschenkligen Hebel 6 auf etwa 4 mm vergro"ßert; das Keilstück 7 drückt die Zange S auseinander, wodurch sich die Schere 2 veykürzt und den Faltenbalg 1 auseinanderzieht, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt. Dadurch wird über den Schlauch 9 im Raum 10 ein Vakuum erzeugt. Die Prothese kann nun nicht mehr abfallen; denn sie wird durch den äußeren atmosphärischen Druck an den Beinstumpf gepreßt. 11 ist der Beinstumpf, 12 die Gliedhülse für den Beinstumpf, und I3 ist der Unterschenkel des Isunstbeinaes. Wird nun das Bein auf dein Boden aufgesetzt, so wird die bisher abgehobene Feder 5 niedergedrückt mit der Wirkung, daß sich nun das Keilstück 7 aus der Zange 8 herausschiebt. Dieselbe kann sich nun schließen, und die Schere streckt sich, indem sie der federnden Bewegung des Metallfaltenbalgs nachgibt. Derselbe kann also aus seiner gespannten Lage in die entspannte, verkürzte Lage zurückschnellen. The suction pump consists of a metal bellows 1, which is like an accordion can be pulled apart and again and again by its own spring force End position decreases. Then sits as a stroke extender designed like a bar Lever system 2. that has the purpose. to enlarge a small stroke movement. The whole Suction device is in the fixed pivot point 3 and by the holder 4 of the Prosthesis is attached, held as Fig. 1 illustrates. The process at Walking is as follows: In Fig. I the artificial leg is shown loaded, so if the body weight rests on the leg. If the leg is now lifted, then it rises the spring 5 from the base by about 2 mm. This stroke is made possible by the unequal Lever 6 enlarged to about 4 mm; the wedge 7 pushes the pliers S apart, whereby the scissors 2 are shortened and the bellows 1 is pulled apart, as in Fig. 3 shown. As a result, a vacuum is generated in the space 10 via the hose 9. The prosthesis can no longer fall off; because it is through the external atmospheric Pressure pressed against the stump of the leg. 11 is the stump of the leg, 12 is the limb sleeve for the Stump of the leg, and I3 is the lower leg of the isunstbeinaes. Will now the leg up put on your floor, the previously lifted spring 5 is pressed down with the effect that the wedge 7 now pushes out of the pliers 8. Same can now close, and the scissors stretch out by making the resilient movement of the metal bellows gives way. The same can therefore be drawn from its tense position in the relaxed, shortened position snap back.

Diese Lage entspricht. wieder der Fig. 2.This situation corresponds. again of FIG. 2.

Dieses Spiel wiederholt sich natürlich bei jedem Schritt, und es wird dadurch bewirkt, daß jeweils beim Anheben des Beines zwischen Beinstumpf und Gliedhülse ein neues Vakuum entsteht, welches das künstliche Bein am Lokkern oder Abfallen verhindert und so die sonst notwendigen Gürtel und Bandagenteile entbehrl ich macht. This game repeats itself, of course, with every step, and it is caused by the fact that each time the leg is lifted between the stump and Link sleeve creates a new vacuum, which the artificial leg on the Lokkern or Prevents falling off and eliminates the otherwise necessary belt and bandage parts I make.

Nun wickeln sich in Wirklichkeit die Vorgänge jedoch nicht so einfach ab, wie dies theoretisch dargelegt wurde; denn es ist auch hier kein absolut gasdichter Abschluß vorhanden; es muß vielmehr immer mit Undichtheit gerechnet werden. Vor allen Dingen kann beim Ausziehen des Faltenbalgs und der dabei entstehenden Expansion der eingeschlosseneu Luftmenge durch Undichtheiten iii der Gliedhülse oder sonstwo zusätzlich Luft eindringen. Es würde deshalb beim Rückgang des Faltenbalgs, also bei Wiederherstellung des ursprünglichen Volumens, eine Kompression bintreten, weil ja eine kleine Luftmenge zusätzlich während des Expandierens eingedrungen ist. Dieser beschriebene Vorgang wird sich natürlich wiederholen einmal mit mehr, einmal mit weniger starker Überdruckentwicklung. Die Folge davon ist. daß die Neubildung eines Vakuums beeinträchtigt, mitunter sogar ganz verhindert wird. Um nun diese für die einwandfreie Wirkung bestehende Gefahr zu verhüten, ist gemäß der Erfindung in die Wandung der Gliedhülse das Überdruckventil 14 eingebaut, welches sich öffnet, sobald ein Überdruck eintritt. In Fig. 1 ist die Anordnung dieses Ventils 14 ersichtlich. In reality, however, the processes do not wind up that easily from how this has been presented theoretically; because here, too, it is not absolutely gas-tight Degree available; Rather, it must always be expected with leaks. before all things can when pulling out the bellows and the resulting expansion the amount of trapped air through leaks in the link sleeve or elsewhere additional air penetrate. It would, therefore, when the bellows recede when the original volume is restored, compression occurs because yes, a small amount of air also penetrated during the expansion. This The process described will of course be repeated once with more, once with less strong overpressure development. The consequence of this is. that the formation of a Vacuum is impaired, sometimes even completely prevented. To now this for the Proper effect to prevent existing danger, is according to the invention in the Wall of the link sleeve installed the pressure relief valve 14, which opens as soon as an overpressure occurs. In Fig. 1, the arrangement of this valve 14 can be seen.
