Abstract
Articulated rod of an orthopedic device including a pair of arms, two cover plates, a polycentric joint that articulates the pair of arms in flexion-extension rotation, at least one insert that constrains a rotation width, at least one stop pin for locking the at least one insert, a pair of half covers slidably associated through the guide means for passing from an open position to a closed position where at least one half cover keeps the stop pin in position by interference.
Claims10
Articulated rod of an orthopedic device comprising
- a pair of arms,
- two cover plates,
- a polycentric joint articulating said pair of arms in mutual rotation, where said rotation comprises a flexion rotation direction and an extension rotation direction, at least one removable insert, selectively engageable so as to block said flexion and/or extension rotation within a predetermined angular width,
- at least one stop pin adapted to be in position axially engaging at least one through hole of said at least one insert and at least one through hole of at least one of the two cover plates, a pair of half covers and guide means coupled to each other in order to slidably associate at least one half cover of said pair of half covers, where said guide means comprise a first element integral with said at least one cover plate and a second element integral with said at least one half cover, said pair of half covers being adapted to pass from an open position to a closed position, where said closed position provides for at least one element of said at least one half cover to enter into interference with at least one portion of said at least one stop pin holding in position said at least one stop pin with respect to the translation along its own axis.
