buckle

Abstract

A buckle preferably for an orthosis with a strap mechanism is provided, comprising a first buckle part (1) and a second buckle part (21) detachably engageable with each other, wherein the first buckle part and the second buckle part (1, 21) has a connection mechanism for the strap of the strap mechanism, wherein the first buckle part (1) has a pin (3) and the second buckle part (21) has The connecting end (23) and the engaging end (25), and between the connecting end (23) and the engaging end (25), a guide groove (37) extending in the buckle plane is provided, and the guide groove extends from the entrance (41) extends to the end of the guide groove (43), wherein the pin (3) has a first part (7) and a second part (9), and the dimension of the first part (7) is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the pin (3) Corresponding to the size of the guide groove (37) at the end of the guide groove (43) in the buckle plane, and the dimension of the second part (9) perpendicular to the direction of extension of the pin (3) is larger than that of the guide groove The channel (37) at the end (43) is dimensioned such that the second portion (9) limits the movement of the pin (3) relative to the second hasp member (21) perpendicular to the plane of the hasp.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a buckle, preferably for an orthosis with a strap mechanism. Background technique [0002] Orthoses for stabilizing or immobilizing joints or for supporting body parts usually have a strap mechanism which rests in a suitable manner on the patient's body in order to fix the joint in question, for example in a prescribed position. At this time, it is usually necessary to apply force to the body through the strap mechanism, so that the strap mechanism must be under a certain pretension in the closed state of the orthosis. [0003] On the other hand, however, it is often the case that the patient's freedom of movement is restricted when the orthosis is already partly worn, so that he finds it difficult to properly connect the orthosis straps to one another. [0004] For example, in the orthosis for fixing the shoulder joint described in DE 197 45 705 C1, the patient is required to fix strap ends with Velcro fasteners in defined po...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This is extremely difficult for patients whose freedom of movement is limited by orthotics on the one hand and, on the other hand, is often limited by injuries

[0005] In addition, the problem arises that the strap mechanism of this orthosis must be under a certain pretension in order to securely fix the problematic shoulder joint in the orthosis wearing position
