Abstract
101,519. Thomas, C. W. May 12, 1916. Limbs, artificial.-Artificial legs fitted with ball-bearing joints at the knees and ankles are arranged so that the foot can he removed from the lower leg, and the lower leg from the thigh portion, without displacing the ball bearings. Figs. 1 and 2 show a knee-joint in which the lower leg is carried by two brackets c, which are forked at their upper ends so as to pass over the flattened ends of the pivot pin d. The forked portions are fitted with outwardly-extending flanges, which are engaged by hollowed nuts h on the pivot pin. The inner halves of the ball-races are fixed to a tube k secured in the thigh portion of the leg, while the outer halves and the lock-nuts are all screwed on the pivot pin. In a modified ball bearing, the inner halves of the races are connected to vertical end plates mounted in recesses in the thigh portion of the leg. On the pivot pin is mounted an operating-lever o, connected by a link q to shoulder cords s, for swinging the lower leg relatively to the thigh portion. A pivoted stop u, sliding over a pin v<1> abuts against the two shaded portions of the limb shown in Fig. 1, when the lower leg and thigh portion are in alinement. The ankle-joint shown in Fig. 4 is similar to the knee-joint in regard to the bearing, but the pivot pin carries two depending rods 9 which are bolted detachably to the foot. The thigh portion of the leg may be provided with a flexible back.
