Abstract
138,527. Blatchford, C. A. May 21, 1919. Limbs, artificial.-In the type of arm in which bending at the elbow-joint causes twisting of the forearm, special lever-and-link mechanism is fitted for converting the angular movement of the forearm about the elbow-joint into the axial rotation or twist of the forearm. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the forearm is attached to an operating-sector 9 which rotates freely on the non- rotating joint-pin 10. A fixed rod 18, supported by forwardly and downwardly extending arms 17 on the pin 10, is engaged by a slotted link 20 on an arm carried by the forearm sleeve 13, which is rotatable but not slidable on the sector-carrying member. The rod 18 causes the link 20 to lag when the forearm is raised. and thus twists the sleeve. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 5, means are provided for putting the twisting movement into or out of action at will. In this case, the twisting movement is conveyed to an upper sleeve 27'. By manipulating a spring pin having an attached locking-finger 24, the upper sleeve can be locked to the main sleeve 13<a> to twist the forearm, or the main sleeve can be released therefrom and locked against rotation by the pin being pushed into the slot 27 on the non- rotary sector-carrying member 8.
