    摘要: The invention disclosed herein is a protective support for joints and extremities comprising a structure for securing the support to the body in the vicinity of the joint, one or more elongated resilient hinges that are attached to the support. Each resilient hinge spans a parasagittal plane of the joint and has a superior end, an opposite inferior end, and an intermediate section there between, the hinge also defining a cross-sectional thickness that is at its minimum near the superior end and inferior end, but gradually increases along a length of the hinge such that the intermediate section defines the hinge's maximum cross-sectional thickness. Each hinge may define a plurality of longitudinal ribs and optional transverse ribs that aid in structural integrity of the hinge and may have a generally hourglass shape, and with the superior and inferior ends adapted to conform to the various superficial contours of the joint or extremity.

    摘要: A locking hinge with a first component and a second component which are mounted against each other in a pivotal manner relative to each other about a pivot axis. The first component has a latching recess, and the second component has a latching element which is designed to penetrate the latching recess in a latching position of the first component relative to the second component, thus preventing a pivoting movement of the first component relative to the second component in at least one direction. The latching element is designed to penetrate the latching recess to different depths in at least two different latching positions.
