Abstract
Description
i Système d'assemblage d'au moins un montant d'une orthèse sur unei System for assembling at least one upright of an orthosis on a
articulation, suivant une orientation angulaire réglable dans le articulation, following an adjustable angular orientation in the
plan frontal.frontal plane.
La présente invention concerne un système d'assemblage d'au 5 moins un montant d'une orthèse sur une articulation, suivant une orientation angulaire réglable dans le plan frontal. The present invention relates to a system for assembling at least one upright of an orthosis on a joint, in an angular orientation adjustable in the frontal plane.
Qu'il s'agisse d'orthèses d'un membre inférieur, d'un membre Whether orthoses of a lower limb, a limb
supérieur ou du tronc, les orthèses doivent être adaptées à la morphologie du patient, en particulier dans les zones des articulations 10 (genou, cheville, hanche, coude etc...). upper or trunk, the orthoses must be adapted to the patient's morphology, in particular in the areas of the joints 10 (knee, ankle, hip, elbow, etc.).
La technique usuelle consiste à fabriquer ces orthèses avec des pièces de forme droite ou angulée, qui ont d'origine l'orientation relative désirée au niveau des articulations, mais cette orientation est fixée de The usual technique is to manufacture these orthoses with pieces of straight or angled shape, which have the desired relative orientation at the joints, but this orientation is fixed by
façon définitive et ne peut ensuite être modifiée. definitively and cannot be changed thereafter.
Les professionnels doivent par ailleurs disposer de stocks de pièces importantes et ceci représente un autre inconvénient majeur de cette technique. Ce sont ces problèmes que se propose de résoudre la présente invention et, à cet effet, elle a pour objet un système d'assemblage, 20 suivant une orientation angulaire réglable dans un plan frontal, d'au moins un montant d'une orthèse et d'une articulation comprenant deux parties montées pivotantes l'une par rapport à l'autre autour d'un même axe, ce système d'assemblage étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, associée à au moins l'une des parties de l'articulation, une 25 pièce de jonction apte à être rendue rigidement solidaire, d'une part, du montant de l'orthèse, d'autre part, en une pluralité de positions décalées angulairement dans le plan frontal, de la partie associée de l'articulation. Pour permettre à chaque pièce de jonction d'occuper des positions 30 décalées angulairement par rapport à la partie d'articulation associée, cette dernière ainsi que la pièce de jonction peuvent comporter avantageusement une ou des surfaces crantées incurvées, de profil complémentaire, qui sont verrouillées en contact mutuel en position d'assemblage. Le système d'assemblage selon l'invention est particulièrement bien adapté au cas d'une orthèse comprenant deux montants solidaires, respectivement, d'une partie d'une articulation, par exemple une orthèse du membre inférieur, mais il s'applique aussi bien à une orthèse comprenant un unique montant, telle qu'une orthèse de Professionals must also have large stocks of parts and this represents another major drawback of this technique. It is these problems that the present invention proposes to solve and, for this purpose, it relates to an assembly system, according to an angular orientation adjustable in a frontal plane, of at least one upright of an orthosis and an articulation comprising two parts mounted to pivot one relative to the other about the same axis, this assembly system being characterized in that it comprises, associated with at least one of the parts of the hinge, a junction piece capable of being rigidly secured, on the one hand, to the amount of the orthosis, on the other hand, in a plurality of positions angularly offset in the frontal plane, of the associated part of the 'joint. To allow each junction piece to occupy positions 30 angularly offset relative to the associated articulation part, the latter as well as the junction piece can advantageously include one or more curved notched surfaces, of complementary profile, which are locked. in mutual contact in the assembly position. The assembly system according to the invention is particularly well suited to the case of an orthosis comprising two uprights secured, respectively, to a part of a joint, for example an orthosis of the lower limb, but it applies as well an orthosis comprising a single upright, such as an orthosis of
cheville, par exemple.ankle, for example.
Les pièces de jonction peuvent être de tout type et être rendues solidaires des pièces de l'articulation par tout moyen connu dans la 5 technique. Elles peuvent en particulier être rendues rigidement solidaires des pièces de l'articulation par un assemblage par tenon et The connecting pieces can be of any type and be made integral with the pieces of the joint by any means known in the art. They can in particular be made rigidly integral with the parts of the joint by a tenon assembly and
mortaise et/ou par des systèmes de vis et/ou par collage. mortise and / or by screw systems and / or by gluing.
De même, chaque pièce de jonction peut être rendue rigidement solidaire du montant associé de l'orthèse par tout moyen connu dans la 10 technique. Elles peuvent par exemple comporter une partie évidée dans laquelle vient se loger l'extrémité du montant de l'orthèse, cette extrémité étant ensuite rendue solidaire de la pièce de jonction par des Likewise, each junction piece can be made rigidly secured to the associated upright of the orthosis by any means known in the art. They may for example include a recessed part in which is housed the end of the amount of the orthosis, this end then being made integral with the junction piece by
systèmes de vis et/ou par collage.screw and / or bonding systems.
Il est clair qu'un tel système d'assemblage peut être réalisé sous 15 forme modulaire en diverses dimensions et qu'il permet de réduire It is clear that such an assembly system can be produced in modular form in various dimensions and that it makes it possible to reduce
considérablement les stocks des professionnels. considerably stocks of professionals.
Il facilite, en outre, la réalisation d'orthèses et permet d'ajuster de It also facilitates the production of orthoses and makes it possible to adjust
façon simple, dans le plan frontal, l'angle que fait la pièce de jonction solidaire d'un montant d'une orthèse avec la partie associée de 20 l'articulation de cette orthèse. in a simple manner, in the frontal plane, the angle made by the junction piece integral with an upright of an orthosis with the associated part of the articulation of this orthosis.
