  • Patent number: 12734051
    Abstract: An adjustable prosthetic limb connection with a mounting plate, an alignment mechanism, and a lower connector. The alignment mechanism is configured to allow adjustment of the alignment of the lower connector with respect to the mounting plate. The alignment mechanism may comprise a base plate, an outer cam configured to sit within the base plate, and a center cam configured to sit within an outer cam aperture of the outer cam. The outer cam aperture is offset from a center of the outer cam. The center cam has a center cam aperture offset from a center of the center cam and configured to couple with the lower connector. A rotational position of the outer cam with respect to the base plate is selectively fixed and a rotational position of the center cam with respect to the outer cam is selectively fixed.

  • Patent number: 12220331
    Abstract: An adjustable prosthetic limb connection with a mounting plate, an alignment mechanism, and a lower connector. The mounting plate is configured to attach to a prosthetic limb socket, the alignment mechanism is configured to couple with the mounting plate, and the lower connector is configured to attach to the alignment mechanism and to a prosthetic limb. The alignment mechanism is configured to allow adjustment of the alignment of the lower connector with respect to the mounting plate with at least two linear degrees of freedom. The alignment mechanism may comprise a base plate and a linear slide. The base plate is configured to be secured against the mounting plate and may have first and second rows of teeth. The linear slide may be positioned between the base plate and the mounting plate and may have first and second ridges configured to interface with the first and second rows of teeth.
