Abstract:

An orthopedic brace is provided with an adjustable support assembly having a support arm, a housing and a locking mechanism. The housing includes a travel track which slidably receives the support arm. The locking mechanism includes a lock lever which selectively applies a sufficient force to the support arm to prevent slidable displacement of the support arm in the travel track. The orthopedic brace is further provided with a hinge having a first rotation plate, a second rotation plate, a pivotal connector connecting the first and second rotation plates, a rotation limiting mechanism, and a rotation locking mechanism.

Appl. No.:

11/039448

Inventors:

Jeffrey Mason - Escondido CA, US
Paul Oddou - Oceanside CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 5/00

US Classification:

602016000, 602023000, 602026000

Abstract:

A hinge is provided for an orthopedic brace having a first rotation plate, a second rotation plate, a pivotal connector connecting the first and second rotation plates, a rotation limiting mechanism, and a rotation locking mechanism. The rotation limiting mechanism includes a rotation limiting face formed in the peripheral edge of the second rotation plate and a rotation limiting assembly selectively positionable in a fixed position relative to the first rotation plate. The rotation limiting assembly has a stop face engageable with the rotation limiting face upon rotation of the first and second rotation plates, which limits further rotation in a first rotation direction. The rotation locking mechanism includes a rotation lock pin and a series of lock notches formed in the peripheral edge of the second rotation plate. The rotation lock pin is selectively positionable within one of the series of lock notches, which substantially locks the first and second rotation plates against rotation in the first rotation direction or in a second rotation direction opposite the first.

International Classification:

A45F 5/00
A45F 3/04

US Classification:

224633, 224637

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a user based carrying system capable of independent transportation of a load including a hip-based user attachment system. The carrying system includes an enclosure member having an internal region encased by an internal surface. A user attachment system releasably secures the carrying system to the user for independent transportation without requiring muscular engagement. The user attachment system includes a hip attachment system with a dorsal articulation member and a strap member. The dorsal articulation member includes a front and rear member three-dimensionally moveably coupled to one another. The rear member is coupled to the enclosure member and the front member is coupled to the strap member. The three-dimensional moveable coupling between the front and rear members includes three restricted degrees of freedom configured to efficiently absorb corresponding user hip movements and directly support other user hip movements.

International Classification:

F16B 45/02
A44B 99/00

US Classification:

245995, 245994

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention relates to an automatically locking carabiner system including a frame, a gate, a gate biasing system, and a gate locking system. The frame and gate form a continuously enclosed inner region in a closed configuration with respect to the frame. When in an engaged state, the gate locking system is configured to automatically lock the gate in the closed configuration with respect to the frame. The gate locking system may include a trigger coupled to the frame such that the position of the trigger corresponds to the state of the gate locking system. The trigger may be positioned on an opposite side of the frame from the gate with respect to the inner region. The force required to disengage the gate locking system may be substantially opposite that which is required to transition the gate to the open configuration with respect to the frame.
