  • Patent number: 5116382
    Abstract: A prosthetic capture device to interconnect a sleeve which grips a stump of a limb with a prosthesis. The silicone sleeve is constructed with a threaded screw protruding down from the bottom of the sleeve. A spring loaded sliding plate with a keyhole shaped hole, operating in conjunction with a fixed plate with a circular hole, is used to capture the screw head when it is inserted into the prosthesis. An adjustment plate attached to the capture device on the prosthesis has two circular sections which fit into a base plate, and each of the circular sections has a slot into which is set a clamping screw. The base plate is connected to the body of the prosthesis. The base plate can be moved in an elliptical pattern relative to the prosthesis as the clamping screws slide in the slots.
