Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit attachment and detachment of an artificial foot or artificial hand with an extremely simple operation by connecting a pump for suction and pressurization to an artificial thigh socket or artificial arm socket. CONSTITUTION:The artificial thigh socket 1 and the pump 2 for suction and pressurization are connected by a short pipe 3. This pump 2 is turned on and off and is adjusted in a suction pressure and pressurizing force by operation of an operating switch 4. A cut leg is tightly fitted and fixed into the socket 1 without applying cloth, etc., and antislip accelerator used heretofore thereon by setting the pump 2 at on and to the suction side and inserting the cut leg into the socket 1 while discharging the air in the socket. The cut leg is removed by setting the pump 2 on the pressurizing side and sending the air into the socket 1 when the removal of the socket 1 is necessary at the time of using a toilet or other times.

(For example, shoulder straps or waist bands) (Hereinafter, referred to as "plug-in type") (2) As shown in FIG.
With a self-suspending force. However, the plug-in type is easy to wear, but requires a belt as an accessory member, and the socket 11 and the cutting limb 1
The close contact with the two is not always sufficient, and the wearer may feel uncomfortable.

と、以下のようになる。In this respect, the suction type does not require an auxiliary member such as a belt, and is the most used at present. Therefore, the procedure of the suction type mounting method will be briefly described as follows.

逆止機能を備えているからである。A material such as talc that improves lubricity is applied to the inner peripheral surface of the socket 14 and the end of the amputated limb to improve sliding. Next, the end of the cutting limb is covered with a cloth such as a furoshiki cloth, the cutting limb is inserted into the socket 14 and brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the socket, and wound around the end of the cutting limb through the opening of the mounting position of the adsorption valve 15. Pull out the attached cloth. Tighten the adsorption valve 15 to bring the inside of the socket into a slightly negative pressure state. This is because the adsorption valve 15 has a check function that allows only air to flow from the inside of the socket 14 to the outside.

That is, the adsorption type has the following drawbacks. (a) It takes time and effort to apply a lubricant. (b) If the cloth wrapped around the end of the amputated limb is pressed too far against the bottom of the socket, it will be difficult to remove the fabric. It will be easier. (c) As in the case of using a Japanese-style toilet, the suction socket may have to be attached / detached due to the angle of the knee, and the complicated installation work described above is obscured each time. Further, when sweating or sitting on the tatami mat with a cross, the suction socket is easily removed.

う欠点を有している。As described above, there are many situations in which the socket is easily pulled out in daily life, and sometimes it is necessary to unplug the socket. Therefore, even though a method for easily reattaching the socket is required, the present suction type cannot meet this demand. Furthermore, since the suction type is a method of self-suspending using a suction valve having a non-return function in the first place, the self-suspension is gradually reduced during walking and It has a drawback that the amputation force is insufficient and the amputated limb is easily removed.

The purpose of the present invention is not to perform extra work for mounting, but it is possible to simply mount and adhere / fix. An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a prosthesis or a prosthesis that can be used.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a prosthetic socket, 2 is a suction and pressurizing pump, and the pump 2 and the bottom of the prosthetic socket 1 are connected by a short pipe 3. Short tube 3 is socket 1
By providing it in the vicinity of the bottom of the socket, the inside of the socket 1 can be uniformly and more quickly made to have a negative pressure. Reference numeral 4 denotes an operation switch of the pump 2. By operating the operation switch 4, not only the on / off of the pump 2 but also the suction pressure and the pressurizing force can be adjusted.

できるので、ソケット１が抜けたりすることはない。In such a structure, if the pump 2 is turned on and set to the suction side, and the cutting limb is inserted while the air in the socket 1 is discharged to the outside, a cloth or the like which has been conventionally used is not required, and the slip promoting agent is used. The cutting limb can be smoothly adhered and fixed in the socket 1 without the need to apply. Also, when the socket 1 needs to be attached and detached when using the toilet, etc., the pump 2 is set to the pressurizing side and the air is sent into the socket 1 so that the amputated limb can be quickly removed. As described above, the cutting limb can be brought into close contact with and fixed in the socket 1 by an extremely simple operation. While walking, basically the operation switch 4
Does not have to be operated, but when the adhesion between the socket 1 and the amputated limb deteriorates due to sweat or the like, the suction pressure of the pump 2 can be adjusted appropriately by operating the operation switch 4. , The socket 1 will not come off.
