Patent number: 11039941Abstract: A prosthetic foot, comprising a core, on which a proximal fastening device for fastening the prosthetic foot to a lower-leg tube or to a lower-leg shaft is arranged and which is surrounded by a foot casing. The foot casing forms a cavity, in which the core is inserted. A slot-shaped recess is formed in a front foot region of the foot casing, into which slot-shaped recess a tongue arranged on the core is inserted. The front foot region has a stiffness that deviates in comparison with the rest of the foot casing.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2015Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: OTTOBOCK SE & CO.

Publication number: 20110252670Abstract: The method for fabricating a dual-density mid-sole includes the steps of: injection molding EVA material of a first density into a block; placing the first density EVA block and raw EVA material pellets of a second density together in a mold cavity; and applying heat and pressure to the first density EVA block and raw EVA material pellets of a second density in the mold cavity to form a fused component. The fused component is shaped and detailed into the mid-sole in a separate mold cavity. The result is a dual-density mid-sole consisting of one or more blocks of EVA material of a first density fused to EVA material of a second density where the size, shape and location of the different density sections can be accurately controlled and precisely defined. An article of footwear including an upper, the dual-density mid-sole consisting of one or more blocks of EVA material of a first density fused to EVA material of a second density, and an outsole, may be formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2010Publication date: October 20, 2011Inventor: Justin R.
