Abstract

104,470. Adams, A. C. Sept. 25, 1916. Limbs, artificial.-An artificial arm is provided with an antifriction or ball bearing between the usual wrist plate and the article-holding means. Means are provided for locking the bearing in any position. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the holding-device m, to be screwed to the handle of the article held, is connected to the wrist block c through a ball bearing p, pivot joint k, and ballsocket joint g. A disk q with peripheral depressions &c. r may be engaged by a thumbscrew (not shown) passing through the bearing-casing o so as to lock the bearing. The joints g, k may also be provided with locking- recesses. The plate a carrying the ball-andsocket joint may be connected to the arm by a screw b, as shown, or by a bayonet-catch. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the holding-device consists of a socket m, provided with slots n<1> to receive a pin v passing through the golf-club or other handle w, the end of which is strengthened by a metal sleeve x. A spring y is interposed between the bearing-casing o and the handle w. A ball-and-socket joint g with locking-nut g<2>, and a series of pivot joints k are employed in this modification.
