Abstract
101,864. Cauet, P. A. Oct. 15, 1915, [Convention date]. Limbs, artificial.-An artificial hand comprises rigid fingers and thumb, pivoted to a rigid support and controlled by springs so as tn remain normally in the closed or gripping position. The fingers when brought to the open position may be held there by spring catches. The hand comprises main supporting- plates 1 formed with lugs 5, to which the fingers 7 are pivoted, and carrying metal stampings 3, 4 shaped to resemble the natural hand. The thumb 10 is pivoted to the part 4 at such an angle as to face the plane of oscillation of the index finger. Springs 9, 12 coiled on the pivots of the fingers and thumb respectively tend to maintain the hand closed to the full extent allowed by stop-screws 13. Spiral springs, shown in Fig. 1, may also be employed. The fingers carry hooked rods 14 which, when the fingers are straightened, engage with a plate 16 adjustably mounted on the plate 1 and are held in engagement therewith by springs 17. A cam 18 pivoted to lugs 20 on the plate 1 serves to release the fingers successively by raising the catches 14 against the springs 17 so as to disengage them from the plate 16. The cam 18 is operated through a sheathed wire 24, 25, Fig. 5, by an extensible armlet 23, which may be expanded by action of the biceps muscle; or the cam may be operated by means of a crank-pin 22 extending through a slot in the hand. The oscillating cam 18 may be replaced by a spring-controlled sliding cam. The thumb may be straightened against the action of the spring 12 by means of a bent lever 30, 31 pivoted at 32 to the plate 1 and operated by direct pressure, or by means of a wire 35, Fig. 4, connected to armlets 36, 38 so as to be put in tension when the arm is straightened. A spring 39 is inserted in the wire 35, and the wire may be adjusted by means of a screw or otherwise. The fingers are hollow and are provided with finger-nails and with yielding linings or pads 8 of cork, india-rubber, &c. Accessories such as clasps or hooks may also be provided.
