Ambulating Knee Joint

View page
US Patent:
7517330, Apr 14, 2009
Filed:
Apr 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/423435
Inventors:
Mark Deharde - Pottstown PA, US
Kenneth A. Patchel - Chadds Ford PA, US
Thomas Watters - Malvern PA, US
Assignee:
Ultraflex Systems, Inc. - Pottstown PA
International Classification:
A61F 5/00
US Classification:
602 16, 602 23, 602 26
Abstract:
A hinge or joint assembly is provided that includes first and second members, a pivot rotatably connecting the first and second members and allowing movement between extension and flexion positions, and at least one elastomeric spring communicating with the first and second members to restrain pivotal movement of the members toward flexion, through compression of the elastomeric spring, and to assist pivotal movement toward extension through decompression of the elastomeric spring. The assembly can further include a disk and lock slide, the disk and lock slide each having complementary teeth providing, when engaged, an arrest of pivotal movement in a direction of flexion and one-way, ratcheting, step-advance pivotal movement in a direction toward extension. The elastomeric spring can be urethane, and can be adapted to mimic any bodily muscle. An embodiment employing a torsional spring is also provided, as is a cable release mechanism providing one-dimensional cable movement.

Ambulating Ankle And Knee Joints With Bidirectional Dampening And Assistance Using Elastomeric Restraint

US Patent:
8100844, Jan 24, 2012
Filed:
Nov 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/600362
Inventors:
Mark DeHarde - Pottstown PA, US
Yevgeniy Vinshtok - Allentown PA, US
Assignee:
Ultraflex Systems, Inc. - Pottstown PA
International Classification:
A61F 5/00
US Classification:
602 16, 602 20, 602 23, 602 26
Abstract:
A hinge or joint assembly includes a first member movably connected to a second member to allow angular displacement of the first member relative to the second member in each of extension and flexion (clockwise and counterclockwise) directions, where one elastomeric spring restrains angular displacement in a flexion position, and another elastomeric spring restrains angular displacement in an extension position. In each direction, the angular movement is dampened through compression of the respective elastomeric spring. After dampening the movement in either direction, returning movement is assisted through decompression of the respective elastomeric spring. Alternatively, one or more elastomeric springs are arranged to both dampen through compression and assist through decompression angular movement in each of the flexion and extension directions. The elastomeric spring can provide a pre-determined force deflection curve in compression and an independent rate of return hysteresis in decompression. The elastomeric springs could be urethane.

US Patent:
8123709, Feb 28, 2012
Filed:

Multi-Functional Dynamic Splint

View page
US Patent:
56582412, Aug 19, 1997
Filed:
May 17, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/443200
Inventors:
Mark Deharde - Phoenixville PA
Kenneth Patchel - Kennett Square PA
Assignee:
Ultraflex Systems, Inc. - Malvern PA
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
602 5
Abstract:
A dynamic splint has a bi-directional torsional power unit fastened between first and second struts to selectively deliver force opposing either extension or flexion. The power unit is mounted about a hinge pin and can be rotated between two positions. In the first position, the power unit is locked relative to the first strut and the torsion spring opposes relative movement of the second strut in a first direction. In the second position, the power unit is locked relative to the second strut. In this second position, the torsion spring opposes movement of the first strut relative to the second strut, providing torsion in an opposite direction from that of the first position. Self-aligning contour plates on the struts conform to the anatomy and provide a mechanical interlock to bony prominences on the patient's limbs. A universal integral soft cuff/strap design simplifies set-up and provides infinite adjustment capability for increased comfort and performance. Infinitely adjustable telescoping struts facilitate custom fitting adjustment.

A Bi-Directional Dampening And Assisting Unit

View page
US Patent:
20180333286, Nov 22, 2018
Filed:
Jul 30, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/048727
Inventors:
- Pottstown PA, US
Mark DeHarde - Pottstown PA, US
International Classification:
A61F 5/01
F16F 15/04
F16F 1/10
Abstract:
A dynamic platform with extending struts has fastened thereto a bi-directional torsional power unit to selectively deliver force opposing either extension or flexion, and to provide assistance in a respective opposite direction. The power unit is threadably mounted on a hinge pin (spline) centrally located on the platform, and is latched to a catch assembly radially located thereto, the hinge pin of the platform communicating with one end of a torsion spring of the power unit and the catch assembly communicating with another end of the torsion spring, to selectively deliver the extension/flexion force. The power unit can be detached, with simple manual operation of the catch assembly, without tools, flipped over and reattached to the same platform attachment points to switch (reverse) extension torque to flexion torque and vice versa.
