Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, however, this has the disadvantage that the actual locking and locking of the pivoting movement in the first pivoting direction is only achieved at a certain angular position, ie when the teeth fit precisely into each other and intermesh.
On the other hand, there is a rattling or rattling noise due to the teeth sliding over each other, which is considered unpleasant and disturbing

Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1 The joint 1 according to the first embodiment of the invention is shown. The joint has a first joint arm 2 and a second joint arm 4, which are pivotally supported relative to each other about a pivot axis 6. The pivot range where this pivot can occur is determined by figure 1 The first stop (not shown in the figure) and the second stop 10 are delimited. in figure 1 Inside the joint 1 shown in there are a locking element 12 and a contact surface 14. The locking element and the contact surface Figure 2 to Figure 5 Shown in. By manipulating the element 16, the locking element 12 can change its position, whereby the locking device is brought from the locked position to the released position. To this end, in the illustrated embodiment, the operating element 16 is figure 1 Must move up.

[0029] Figure 2 to Figure 5 show figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the joint 1 shown in. In the figure, compared with the figure, the first articulated arm 2 has pivoted relative...

Abstract

The invention relates to a joint (1) for an orthopaedic device, which has a first articulated arm (2) and a second articulated arm (4), which are mounted about a swivel axis (6) in a swiveling mannerrelative to each other, and a blocking device, which can be moved to a release position and a blocking position, wherein the blocking device in the blocking position blocks the swiveling of the firstarticulated arm (2) relative to the second articulated arm (4) in the first swiveling direction, independently of a swivel angle between the first articulated arm (2) and the second articulated arm (4), insofar as said swiveling angle is in a predetermined range and allows the swiveling in the first swiveling direction, insofar as the swiveling angle is outside of the predetermined range.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a joint for an orthopedic device. The joint has a first joint arm, a second joint arm, and a locking device. The first joint arm and the second joint arm are pivotally supported with respect to each other about a pivot axis , The locking device can be brought into the released position and the locked position. Background technique [0002] Such joints are for example known from US 7,517,330 B2 and US 7,662,118 B2. They are used, for example, as orthoses, such as joints in knee orthoses, but can also be used in other orthoses or orthopedic devices. The first joint arm and the second joint arm are pivotally supported relative to each other about a pivot axis. Here, they pivot on a pivot range, which is usually bounded by two stops, each of the two stops being restricted to one of two mutually opposite pivot directions. The possibility of movement. When the locking device is in the released position, the two articulated arm...
