Patent number: 11065172Abstract: A cushioning body for a leg rest of a rollator walking aid is in the form of an elastic molded body and has an upper side, which, when the elastic molded body is attached to a support member of the leg rest of the walking aid and the walking aid is used by a person, faces a bent leg of the person, a lower side, and a depression disposed on the upper and/or lower side. The depression is configured as a recess or as an area in which the material of the molded body has a reduced density. In the depression, a protuberant part of the anterior surface of the knee and of the neighboring portion of the lower leg is received when a leg of a person is resting on the cushioning body, in particular when the bent leg is in contact with the upper side of the cushioning body.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Orthoscoot GmbHInventors: Andreas Hertle, Frank Heinrich

Patent number: 10973729Abstract: A mobile walking aid includes an undercarriage, a frame and a support for a person's leg. The undercarriage comprises a two-wheeled front axle and a rear axle. The rear axle can be converted between a single-wheeled version with a first wheel, and a two-wheeled version. In order to convert from the single-wheeled version to the two-wheeled version, a conversion kit can be provided which comprises an axle extension that can be mounted on the axle of the first wheel, and a second wheel. The axle extension can be mounted, optionally, on both sides of the axle of the first wheel which is arranged laterally and centrally between the front wheels.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Orthoscoot GmbHInventors: Frank Heinrich, Andreas Hertle

Patent number: 9962312Abstract: A rollator walker with a travel carriage, a frame, and a support for a person's leg, the inclination of which, with respect to a horizontal plane in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the support, can be adjusted. The support is mounted on a supporting part, which is firmly connected to the frame via a joint with a first axle which is horizontal and transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis of the support, and via a supporting element which is at a distance from the first axle in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the support. The supporting element is connected to the supporting part via a manually adjustable mechanical positioning element, by which the vertical position of the supporting element can be changed with respect to the supporting part. As a result, the inclination of the support is adjustable without loss of stability, and the support is held securely in any set inclination position.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: ORTHOSCOOT GMBHInventors: Frank Heinrich, Andreas Hertle

Patent number: 8683551Abstract: In order to provide security within a peer-to-peer network (100) comprising common peers (0, 7, 10, 15, 20, 28) providing the functionality of the network (100), at least one police peer (4, 9, 23) is added to the network (100), said at least one police peer (4, 9, 23) providing security within the network (100) and being certified by a central certification authority (110) managing the certification and positioning of the peers (0, 4, 7, 9, 10, 15, 20, 23, 28).Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2008Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Marcel Pierer, Andreas Hertle, Marco Tomsu

Publication number: 20090216887Abstract: The invention concerns method of establishing a connection in a peer-to-peer network (160), and a peer, a telecommunication infrastructure comprising the peer-to-peer network (160), and a computer program product to execute said method. The connection is established between a first peer (61) in a first address realm of the peer-to-peer network (160) and a second peer (62) in a second address realm of the peer-to-peer network (160). In the peer-to-peer network (160), a network address translation is discovered which prevents a direct connection between the first peer (61) and the second peer (62). A third peer of the peer-to-peer network (160) is determined as a relay peer (R). The relay peer (R) relays the connection between the first peer (61) and the second peer (62).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Inventors: Andreas Hertle, Marcel Pierer, Marco Tomsu
