Abstract

123,571. Dilworth, O. Le G. Feb 25, 1918. Limbs, artificial. - In a limb comprising an upper arm with a forearm pivoted thereto, means are provided for operating the forearm comprising a lever pivoted to the upper arm and so arranged that it may be pressed against the body of the wearer. The upper arm 11 which receives the stump and the lower arm 12 are connected by a pivot 18 passing through straps 19, 48, one of which, the strap 19, is prolonged and has pivoted thereto a link 34. The link 34 is pivoted to a bell-crank lever 33 pivoted to the upper arm and adapted to be actuated by a springy member 32 secured to the opposite side of the arm and provided with a pad 35 which can be pressed against the body. A balancing-arrangement is provided comprising a spring 23, spring-case 22, plunger 25, and strut-rod 29 secured in the pivot 18. The spring-case bears against an abutment 21 which is adjustable by a screw with milled head 110, and the plunger 25 bears on a ball 28 on the rod 29. For attachment purposes, a vest 10 and shoulder plate 14 are employed. An alternative means for bending the arm comprises a cord 30 passing from the back of the fore-arm to the front thereof, then through the upper arm and secured to an anchorstrap 31.
