Abstract

1286821 Artificial arms DUNLOP Ltd 29 Aug 1969 [14 June 1968] 28582/68 Heading A5R [Also in Division B8] An artificial arm comprises two rigid cylindrical parts 6, 8 connected together by a moveable joint 9, comprising an intermediate part 26 joined to the parts 6, 8 by hinges 27, 29 the axis of which extend in different directions, and pivotal actuators 31, 32 made of one or more flexible inflatable pouches, restrained in an outward radial direction relative to the corresponding hinge axis. Each actuator can be filled by fluid pressure through a series of solenoid valves, electrically controlled by muscle impulses, or body movements to operate the hinges 27, 29. Limiting straps 33 restrict the movement of the joint around hinges 27, 29. To return the joint, a pulley system: operated by an elastic band 34, or a return spring (not shown) collapses the pouches, when the gas has been vented. The axes of the hinges 27, 29 are mutually perpendicular. A shoulder unit 4, is attached to the rigid part 6, by a joint 7 similar to joint 9. A hand unit can also be mounted on the other end of the rigid part 8, by a similar joint 11, one actuator 42, rotating the hand about the axis of the part 8, and the other causing a pair of hooks, 10A and 10B to move together, to form a grip. The strength of the grip may be observed through a polaroid layer on top of a photo-elastic covering on the hooks, which sets up a characteristic interference pattern for a given force on the object to be moved. The whole arm may be covered by a layer of material simulating flesh.
