Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 The articulation device 1 according to the first embodiment of the invention is shown in two different positions. The articulation device 1 has a first component 2 and a second component 4 . Both are arranged on the connecting device 6 which has a first pivot element 8 with a first setting element 10 and a second pivot element 12 . The first pivot element 8 and the second pivot element 12 are pivotable relative to each other about a pivot axis.

[0034] in from figure 1 It can be seen in the two illustrations that the first member 2 and the second member 4 are pivotable relative to each other about an articulation axis (not shown). In the present embodiment, this does not bring about a pivoting of the first pivot element 8 about the pivot axis 14 relative to the second pivot element 12 .

[0035] figure 2 An exploded view through the articulation device 1 is shown. A first component 2 and a second component 4 can be seen, each having a plurality of tooth...

Abstract

The invention relates to a connecting device (6) for connecting a first component (2) and a second component (4) of an orthopedic device, wherein the connecting device (6) has a A first pivot element (8) on the first member (2) and a second pivot element (12) for being arranged on the second member (4), wherein, on the first pivot element (8) is arranged with a first adjustment element (10), the first adjustment element has a first contact surface (26), and the second pivot element (12) has a second contact surface (38), Wherein, the first pivot element (8) is pivotally arranged on the second pivot element (12) around the pivot axis (14), and the first adjusting element (10) It is arranged and constructed in such a way that the first contact surface (26) rests on the second contact surface (38).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connecting device for connecting a first component and a second component of an orthopedic device. Background technique [0002] An orthopedic device can be, for example, an orthosis or a prosthesis. These devices comprise a large number of different interconnected structural elements (eg, splint elements). For this purpose, a series of different connecting devices are known from the prior art. [0003] In general, forces are to be exerted in particular by the orthosis on certain body parts of the wearer of the orthosis. For example, in the case of a knee orthosis used to relieve arthritis pain, a pulling force toward the medial direction may be applied to the wearer's knee joint. In order to be able to bend the knee joint during the wearing of the orthosis, the two components (i.e. the thigh splint and the calf splint) are connected to each other in the area of ​​the knee joint in such a way that the knee joint can be ben...
