  • Patent number: 11896504
    Abstract: The prosthetic device is a general use prosthetic device for shower and daily mobility applications which provides a semi-custom fit. The semi-custom fitment of the leg height and anatomical sizing of the affected leg amputation are possible via configurable liner pads which can be interchanged within the support socket based on need by the wearer. The device is capable of being used on either the left or right leg with no modifications to the device and can be secured to the wearers residual limb via a friction fit between the socket liner and limb. Furthermore, an ergonomic handle and grip provides another point of control for the device to assure safety and security.

  • Patent number: 9930943
    Abstract: A device capable of retaining a portable electronic component includes a frame having a rear surface with a circular depressed region. A handle coupled to a handle retainer is movable between a retracted position and a plurality of extended positions. The device includes a circular plate residing within the depressed region of the frame, the circular plate having an opening and a recessed handle receiving well having a depth capable of housing at least a portion of the handle in its retracted position. A rotatable handle retainer is seated within the opening of the circular plate to be retained between the circular plate and the rear surface of the frame in a plurality of rotational positions. A locking ring engages with the frame in order to retain the circular plate within the depressed region of the frame in manner that permits the circular plate to rotate.

  • Publication number: 20160073749
    Abstract: A device capable of retaining a portable electronic component includes a frame having a front surface and a rear surface and a handle coupled to the rear surface of the frame, wherein the handle is movable between a retracted position and a plurality of extended positions with respect to the rear surface of the frame along an axis of rotation that is horizontally offset from a vertical centerline of the frame. The rear surface of the frame may include a recessed handle receiving well having a depth capable of housing a portion of the handle in its retracted position. The handle may have a depth dimension approximately equal to the handle receiving well of the rear surface of the frame such that the handle in its retracted position is generally flush with the rear surface of the frame.
