Abstract

136,253. Anderson, W. P., Clarke, N. C., Whitelaw, J. F., and Read, R. H. Dec. 10, 1918. Limbs, artificial.-Comprises a construction of hand of the type in which the fingers are spring- closed and are opened by a reciprocating slide arranged so that the hand cannot be opened by pressure applied between the fingers and, thumb. The invention consists in the general arrangement and construction of the operating-mechanism, one of the main features of which is the provision of one or more inclined slots in the slide engaging with cranks forming extensions of the fingers or fingers and thumb. The first and second fingers 24, 25 are pivoted on a, shaft 5a fitted with two crank-arms 6, 7. The crank 6 engages the slot in the slide 10, so that when the slide is drawn rearwardly by the cord 11 against the action of the spring 19, the fingers are opened. This movement results in the simultaneous rotation of the crank 7, which opens the thumb through the medium of the slotted tail-piece 15. The angle of the slot in the slide is arranged! so that pressure applied between the thumb and fingers cannot force the slide rearwardly to open the hand. The slide is restored by the spring 19 when released, to enable the fingers and thumb to take a three-point grip on an object. The whole of the operating-mechanism can be built up as a complete unit on a plate 3 before the plate is fixed in the body of the hand. In some case, the slide may be furnished with a second slot for direct actuation of the thumb. The third and fcurth fingers may be spring-controlled in any convenient manner.
