Patent number: 11524779Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft for takeoff and landing on water or on land. The aircraft comprises a fuselage and a spring-mounted landing gear. Landing gear wheels are mountable on the landing gear for takeoff and landing on land. Furthermore, the aircraft comprises a floating device coupleable to the landing gear of the aircraft via a connecting device.

Patent number: 11241326Abstract: The invention relates to a dynamic correction splint (1) with two splint parts (5, 6) connected to each other via a joint (2). Spring bases (25, 26) of a spring device (27) are each coupled to a splint part (5, 6) in such a way that pivoting the splint parts (5, 6) leads to an altered biasing of the spring device (27). The spring device (27) exerts a correction moment onto the splint parts (5, 6) acting in the direction of a correction position of the splint parts (5, 6). The spring device (27) is configured and coupled to the splint parts (5, 6) in such a way that the absolute value of the correction moment increases as the correction position of the splint parts (5, 6) is approached. It is possible that a switching mechanism (40) is present. The switching mechanism (40) is actuated in a motion-controlled way by the pivoting of the splint parts (5, 6) and at its actuation changes the coupling of the splint parts (5, 6) with the spring device (27).Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Inventor: Helmut Wagner

Publication number: 20140378881Abstract: The invention relates to a lower leg orthosis. The lower leg orthosis is formed with a foot part, a pivot joint, a coupling element, a supporting element and a retaining device in the form of a band. According to the invention it is proposed that between the coupling element and the supporting element a degree of freedom of movement is present, by means of which a rubbing of the lower leg orthosis on a lower leg of the person wearing the lower leg orthosis is at least partially alleviated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventor: Helmut Wagner

Patent number: 8157756Abstract: A knee orthodic is provided with two load-bearing joints (12, 14), each joint having a proximal leg (16.1, 16.2) and a distal leg (18.1, 18.2). The knee orthodic, may be adapted more easily to a changing knee width. This is achieved in that the proximal legs (16.1, 16.2) are connected by a proximal joint (24) and the distal joints (18.1, 18.2) are connected by a distal joint, said proximal legs (16.1, 16.2) being connected pivotally and fixably relative to one another in the proximal joint (24) in the form of a rotary joint about a proximal joint pivot axis (P).Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Helmut WagnerInventors: Norbert Schimek, Helmut Wagner

Patent number: 7887496Abstract: A joint orthosis including an upper member, a lower member operably connected to the upper member by one or more swivel axes at a joint mechanism, and a pad attached to the joint mechanism and positioned between the joint mechanism and the body part, wherein the joint mechanism includes a clip connection for securing the pad to the joint mechanism. The upper and lower members include a means for attaching the joint orthosis to a body part of a user, such as an extremity. The clip connection connects to a coupling element that is one or more of an adapter or pad bracket positioned between the joint mechanism and the pad. The pad, pad bracket and/or adapter are configured to cover over the joint mechanism and the pivot axis. The upper and lower members can include teeth that interlock with each other in order to form a synchronized pivot movement.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2007Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Otto Bock Healthcare IP GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7762971Abstract: The invention relates to a tilt-stable rotating joint suitable for technical orthopedic components, including a forked external joint part with two limbs whose parallel inner walls pointing towards each other form a slit of a given width and are provided with flush continuous holes. A flat inner joint part protrudes into the slit and a continuous hole, and a shaft arrangement protruding through the continuous holes forms a rotating bearing surface with a cover surface. The tilt-stability is increased because the shaft arrangement is formed by sections protruding from the inner joint part, having an external diameter corresponding to the internal diameter of the continuous holes of the limbs. Stability is also increased by the fact that the shaft arrangement is rotationally fixed to the inner joint part and sliding bearings are formed between the walls of the continuous holes of the limbs and the sections of the shaft arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2005Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Otto Bock HealthCare GmbHInventor: Helmut Wagner

Publication number: 20070000296Abstract: A rolled product, especially a rolled product consisting of a metallic material, such as an aluminium sheet, for using in lighting engineering as a reflector surface, the surfaces on both sides of the rolled product displaying essentially the same reflective properties. One such rolled product is especially suitable as a material for constructing a reflector or for the anti-glare shade of a louvered light fitting. The rolled product is produced by first rolling the product and then providing the two optionally differently reflecting surfaces with similar reflective properties by a polishing process following the rolling.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2004Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Helmut Wagner, Roman Fuchs

Patent number: 7001349Abstract: An orthopedic splint, which, as part of an orthosis, is intended to bear on a part of the body, can be used with different configurations. The splint consists of two round rods (2, 3) which are arranged approximately in a plane (9) and whose ends on both sides are inserted rotatably in round seats (8) of two endpieces (1, 4). Both round rods (2, 3) are designed with at least one angled part (5, 6) in the plane (9). The round seats (8) of an endpiece (1, 4) form an acute angle with respect to one another and are designed with an excess dimension relative to the inserted end so that, by rotating the round rods (2, 3), different relative angles extending out from the plane (9) can be set between the endpieces (1, 4) in two end settings.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2004Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Otto Bock Healthcare GmbHInventors: Matthias Vollbrecht, Helmut Wagner, Klaus Lidolt, Andreas Mühlenberend
