Knee Prosthesis
View pageUS Patent:
62069330, Mar 27, 2001
Filed:
Jun 26, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/043594
Inventors:
John Jeffrey Shorter - West Sussex, GB
Alan Aulie - Redmond OR
Alan Aulie - Redmond OR
Assignee:
Chas. A. Blatchford & Sons Limited - Basingstoke
International Classification:
A61F2/64
US Classification:
623 44
Abstract:
An artificial knee comprises first and second pivotally interconnected knee components and first and second interengaging brake components for locking the knee components together. The first and second brake components are associated respectively with the first and second knee components, respectively. The second brake component is made of a resiliently deformable material. The arrangement is such that, when the artificial knee is subjected to a first load condition, the brake components are substantially free to slide against one another, and when the artificial knee is under a second, higher load condition, the second brake component is resiliently deformed against the first brake component to lock the two brake components together, thereby locking the two knee components together. The first and second brake components are provided with interengaging surfaces which are inclined to the axis about which the two knee components are pivoted, and the first and second brake components constitute the pivotal interconnection between the two knee components.
Prosthetic Ankle
View pageUS Patent:
47923407, Dec 20, 1988
Filed:
Jul 27, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/078512
Inventors:
Alan L. Aulie - Indianola WA
Ernest M. Burgess - Mercer Island WA
Ernest M. Burgess - Mercer Island WA
International Classification:
A61F 266
A61F 264
A61F 264
US Classification:
623 49
Abstract:
A prosthetic ankle having an elongated tubular shank, which provides bending. The shank is part of a monolithic ankle with the lower portion being a flexure joint. The flexure joint has a flexing post defined by an entrapment kerf. The entrapment kerf allows relatively free movement of flexure within defined limits in axial rotation, dorsi and plantar flexion, inversion and eversion. The kerf surfaces provide resistance to axial rotation during dorsiflexion.
Prosthetic Alignment Device Supplementally Secured By A Hoop Stress
View pageUS Patent:
51395240, Aug 18, 1992
Filed:
Jan 18, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/467035
Inventors:
Alan L. Aulie - Indianola WA
Ernest M. Burgess - Mercer Island WA
Ernest M. Burgess - Mercer Island WA
Assignee:
Prosthetics Research Study - Seattle WA
International Classification:
A61F 262
US Classification:
623 38
Abstract:
A prosthetic alignment device having a shank member, an alignment body, and setscrews to adjust the angular orientation of the shank member and secure the shank member in place relative to the alignment body. The alignment body has a body cavity into which the shank member is inserted, a concave bearing surface for engaging a spherical radius of curvature of the end of the shank member, and an annular opening for inserting the end of the shank member. Angulation of the shank member inside the body cavity causes the annular opening to elastically deform and exert a hoop stress on the shank member increasing the securing force therebetween.
Adjustable Hydraulic Damper
View pageUS Patent:
53761359, Dec 27, 1994
Filed:
Feb 25, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/022526
Inventors:
Alan L. Aulie - Redmond OR
International Classification:
A61F 264
A61F 274
A61F 274
US Classification:
623 43
Abstract:
An adjustable hydraulic damper involves a piston member operating within a hydraulic cylinder where the hydraulic cylinder wall is adjustably deformed to vary the annular space between a piston head and the inside cylinder wall through which hydraulic fluid must pass. The wall of the cylinder is adjustably deformed through an annular ramp formed circumferentially about the outside of the cylinder and having an angled bearing surface. A compression nut, having an angled inside circumferential surface, threadingly engages the outside of the cylinder, wherein rotation of the compression nut causes its angled inside surface to bear on the ramp of the cylinder wall, thereby producing a local, uniform, annular deformation of the inside surface of the cylinder wall. The amount of deformation, and thus the flow of fluid through the annular space, is adjustable by rotation of the compression nut. For bi-directional damping, with two opposing piston heads on the piston member, each piston head utilizes a separate compression nut.
Hinge Structure For Prosthetic Joint
View pageUS Patent:
51713250, Dec 15, 1992
Filed:
Oct 21, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/779649
Inventors:
Alan L. Aulie - Redmond OR
International Classification:
A61F 264
US Classification:
623 43
Abstract:
A prosthetic joint includes an anterior linking and support member and a posterior linking and support member, formed of a resilient material, which act as cantilever flat springs to provide an intrinsic extension bias while furnishing the rigid structure necessary to support the axial loads and extension moments induced by the amputee. A prosthetic knee joint includes a base formed of a resilient polyamide such as nylon 6/6, from which an anterior linking and support member, generally of an L-shape, and a posterior linking and support member, monolithically extend upwards. Formed to provide the inherent stability of four-bar linkage, these resilient linking and support members are pivotally attached to a yoke member to act as cantilever single-leaf flat springs which provide an intrinsic extension moment to the prosthetic knee joint which may vary according to the amount of flexion of the knee joint. The extension moment of the knee joint is translated into compression at the anterior linking and support member and tension at the posterior linking and support member, thereby allowing the use of a relatively low-strength resilient material in the knee joint construction. A common double-acting hydraulic damper is used to reduce the swing rate of the knee joint, permitting a desired gait and reducing terminal impact at full extension.
