Interference between the part and the rail part can be effectively avoided.

Abstract

L'invention vise à réduire la dimension d'un adaptateur de jambe artificielle dans la direction verticale et à agrandir les plages de réglage de position des éléments constituant la jambe artificielle, devant être reliés par l'adaptateur de jambe artificielle. L'adaptateur de jambe artificielle comprend une première partie d'articulation, sur laquelle on introduit et on relie la partie raccordement d'un premier élément constituant de la jambe artificielle. L'adaptateur de jambe artificielle comprend en outre une partie rail, qui est formée d'un seul tenant avec la première partie d'articulation, qui s'étend dans une direction perpendiculaire à la direction d'introduction de la partie de connexion du premier élément constituant, pour faire ainsi saillie à partir de la première partie d'articulation, et qui comporte un premier côté extérieur et un second côté extérieur de façon à former des faces inclinées ayant leur espacement augmentant progressivement dans la direction d'introduction. L'adaptateur de jambe artificielle comprend en outre une seconde partie d'articulation, qui peut être liée à la partie raccordement d'un second élément constituant de la jambe artificielle. L'adaptateur de jambe artificielle comprend en outre une partie coulissante, qui est formée d'un seul tenant avec la seconde partie d'articulation, qui comporte un premier côté intérieur faisant face au premier côté extérieur de la partie rail et un second côté intérieur faisant face au second côté extérieur de la partie rail, et pouvant coulisser par rapport à la partie rail de telle sorte que les premier et second côtés intérieurs et les premier et second côtés extérieurs s'accouplent les uns avec les autres.
