SUSPENDBR FOR ARTIFICIAL ARMS.
APPLIOATION FILED JUNE 28, 1912.
1 W5 861 Patented. 001.11, 1913.
. this invention has been parts operatively connected to the 1 ol' the wearer and attached to the wearerls i It will be seen from Fig. 3 that tension on the cord ll causes the hand to swing toward the palm side, whereas tension on the cord 12 will swing the hand in the reverse direction, it permitted to do so by a release of the tension on the cord 11. If the fingers of the hand are normally urged to a position for engaging the thumb, so as to grasp an interposed article, as hereinbcfore described, then tension on the cord 12, if resisted by tension on the cord 11, will cause the hand to open, as illustrated in Fig. 3 Now, referring to Fig. 1 it will be seen that, by reason of the fact that the cord 11 extends from the hip to the shoulder on the same side of the body, an ele\ ation of the wearers shoulder, so as to elongate the distance between 5 said shoulder and hip, will cause a pull to be exerted on the cord 11. A similar movement of the other shoulder will, for like reai l son, exert a pull on the cord 12. In this manner the wearer of an artificial right arm may, by raising the left shoulder, cause the hand to swing on the wrist joint, and by lifting the right shoulder, cause the finger n-iechanism to open the hand. When the right shoulder is lowered, the hand will close and grip any article which may be interposed between its thumb and fingers. l These movements, together with the normal 3 movements of the wearers upper arm and the stump of the lower arm, enable him to bring the artificial hand to any desired position, and open and close the hand at will 1 in any position.'
Although but one specific embodiment of herein shown andi described, it will be understood that numer- 1 ous details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of this invention as defined by the following claims.
I claim: 1. A suspender for artificial arms, coinprising means for operating the arm and having a part adapted to be attached to the wearer below the waist line, and extending 1 to the arm whereby the latter may be operated by a movement ol the wearers body.
2. An artificial arm suspei'ider, comprising means for operating the arm and having two shoulders body below the waist line at opposite sides 1 thereof, and respectively connected to ditl erent members of the arm whereby dilt'eront movements of the trunk of the wearers shoulders ol' the wearer body will individually operate said members. v
3. The combination of an artificial arm, adapted to be flexed at the wrist and at the finger knuckles, and operating means comprising parts arranged and connectedfor controlling the wrist and finger movements respectively, and adapted to be attached to the wearers body below the waist line for producing the respective wrist and finger movements through different movements of the wearers body.
4. Operating means for artificial arms, comprising two straps respectively attached to the wearers body below the waist line, said straps running to different shoulders, and then to difi'erent members of the arm -n1echanism whereby the operation of said members may be individually controlled through movements of the respective shoulders. f p
5. An artificial arm suspender, comprising straps respectively arranged to control tlie'wrist and finger movements, said straps extending along the arm, over the shoulder, and down the back of the wearer and being adapted to be attached at points below the waist line, one of said straps being also guided by means connected to the opposite shoulder whereby certain movements of the respective shoulders will operate. the wrist and fingers.
6. An artificial arm suspender, comprlsing shoulder caps adapted to be respectively mounted on the wearers shoulders, a belt passing around the wearers waist, leg bands, a pair of straps extending from the respective leg bands to diiterent shoulders at the back of the wearer, then over one of the wearers shoulders and being separately connectcd for the individual operation of diiferi eat arm members, and guiding means con- 1 nccted to said belt for directing the strain on the back parts of said straps.
7. A suspender forartificial arms, comprisinga pair of flexible tension membersoprralively conucctible to the artificial arm,
and attachable substantially to the hips and for control of said arm by relative movements of the hips and shoulders.
