Appl. No.:

10/102377

Inventors:

John D. Eberle - Amherst NY, US

Assignee:

Silipos, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

Abstract:

A process for forming a cushion layer of a preselected thickness on an inside of a prosthetic liner body is provided and includes the steps of introducing the liner body into a mold cavity; disposing a sufficient amount of cushioning material into the inside of the liner and directing a mandrel into the inside of the liner body. The driving action of the mandrel causes the cushioning material to be dispersed between the mandrel and the liner body, thereby forming the cushioning layer of preselected thickness.

US Classification:

623/036000, 602/063000

Abstract:

An improved cushioned liner (i.e., prosthetic liner) for covering a residual limb of an amputee is provided. According to one embodiment, the cushioned liner includes a sock-shaped fabric body member formed of at least two fabric pieces. One of the fabric pieces is a distal end piece that is attached to at least one other fabric piece along a circumferential edge of the distal end piece. The distal end piece is free of a transverse seam that extends across the distal end piece. The cushioned liner also includes a cushion layer disposed on at least one side of the sock-shaped fabric member. In another embodiment, a liner body having the above construction is provided and is adapted to receive cushioning material to form the cushioned liner.

Assignee:

American Allsafe Company - Tonawanda NY

International Classification:

G09F 1500

US Classification:

40610

Abstract:

Each display panel of a free-standing, foldable floor sign includes an integrally formed handle portion and male and female hinge projections. The male and female hinge projections snap together into interlocking engagement with each other in response to simultaneous axial compression. The male coupling member includes a resilient finger portion and a latching head, and the female coupling member includes a cylindrical collar having a latch pocket and a radially stepped, inwardly projecting retainer. The resilient finger portion is radially deflectable in response to sliding engagement of the latching head against the retainer to permit the latching head to clear the retainer and enter the latch pocket. The display panels are stabilized in a spread-apart service position by a locking arm that is pivotally coupled to the display panels for folding movement within longitudinal slots formed along side edges of the display panels. Two or more floor signs are linked together by chains to provide a wide area barrier to entry.
