- the individual detent or tooth elements of the locking or tooth connection 86, 86 'of stirrup 14 and actuator 82 are INEI ⁇ Nander engageable or by relative displacement of Stirrup 14 and adjusting element 82 - once from the bottom, once from the top of the toe 14 - flush with the surface for mutual contact.
- the stirrup 14 is provided on both sides with an annular, at least partially circumferential around the recess 42 Projection 87 or the like bead provided.
- the annular projection 87 is formed completely circumferentially around the recess 42 and thus engages the recess 42 completely.
- the annular projection 87 comes with the inner wall 88 of the circular recess 42 of the adjusting element 82 according to Fig. 6a to 6g to the plant.
- the round recess 42 of the Stel ⁇ liatas 82 has a diameter, which the diameter of the recess 34 and the outer diameter of the axle or the like Schenk neck of the swivel joint 16 to its, in particular backlash-free recording plus the radial width or thickness of the annular Projection 87 of the stirrup 14 corresponds. As shown in FIG.
- the stirrup 14 further comprises on both sides of the pivot joint 16 a dorsal projection 89 and a plantar projection 90 or the like protrusion which is provided by the resilient functional element 20, 20 '. 20 '', 20 '', 20 ''',20''''can be acted upon, which is received in / of the receiving element 18.
- the dorsal and plantar projection 89, 90 of the toe 14 on both sides of the rotary joint 16 is in the embodiment ⁇ form of the orthotic joint 10 according to the invention in a preferred manner integrally formed on the actuating element 82 itself.
- a further embodiment of the invention designed according to the orthotic joint 10 'is provided ⁇ represents. This embodiment differs from that of Fig. La to 7g only in the structural design of receiving element 18 'and actuator 82'.
- the dorsal projection 89 'and the plantar projection 90' of the adjusting element 82 ' are each configured in the form of a hook 94, a screw, a groove-shaped recess or the like hook-shaped cantilever end.
- the tension spring 96 is held at each end around or over the screws 92 and in the central region via the hooks 94.
- the tension springs 96 thus extend in each case exposed, laterally and parallel to the dorsal side 22 and to the plantar side 24 of the orthotic joint 10.
- FIGs. IIa to 13 still another form of an off ⁇ guide according to the invention formed orthotic is finally presented Lenke 10 ''.
- This embodiment differs from those of Fig. La to 7g and Fig. 8a to 10 only in the structural design of the actuating element 82 ''. Accordingly, no receiving element 18, 18 'is present or inserted in the groove 36 and fastened to the upper part 12.
- the Stell ⁇ element 82 '' is formed without dorsal projection and without plantar projection.
- the orthotic joint 10 "according to the invention thus comes without functional element / e 20, 20 ', 20'',20'',20''', 20 ''' to ⁇ application, said orthosis joint 10 'quasi the basic equipment for a modular system for forming a Orthesengelenkes 10, 10 ', 10''and forms.
- the orthotic joint 10, 10 ', 10 "according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for a modular system. It is an arbitrary individual and closely and timely or even in actual time matched onto a (continuous) varying clinical picture selection between the formed under ⁇ differently receiving elements 18, 18 ', ie, the receiving member 18 in quasi-encapsulated form according to the embodiment la to 7g or optionally the receiving element 18 'in quasi-exposed form according to the embodiment of the orthotic joint 10' according to the invention according to FIGS. 8a to 10 allows the orthotic joint 10 according to the invention.
- the invention is not limited to the illustrated Unexsfor- men of the orthotic joint according to the invention 10, 10 ', 10''be limited ⁇ .
- the various embodiments of the orthotic joint 10, 10 ', 10 "according to the invention with one another or with one another as desired.
- the receiving element 18, 18 'only the attachment portion 46 and a arranged on the Be ⁇ fastening portion 46 or integrally formed receiving portion 50, 50' includes.
- Such structural configuration may be advantageous in particular if this is considered necessary for medical and / or therapeutic reasons not required and aesthetically pleasing face ⁇ points are brought to the fore.
- the attachment portion 46 is located approximately centrally of the two receiving portions 50, 50 '.
- the attachment portion 46 is a middle attachment portion 46.
- the hinge 16 which rotatably connects the upper part 12 and the stirrup 16 with each other, be of any other conventional structural design. So has in particular a fork 32 and a gabelförmi ⁇ ge formation of the hinge 32 in practice gleichze ⁇ lar force and moment absorption or -Introduction DERS proved advantageous for the inventive ⁇ particular orthotic joint 10 without ultimately in such a constructive Be ⁇ staltung to be limited.
- the orthotic joint 10 is not limited to the groove 36 or the like recess 36 in / on the upper part 12 between the upper end 28 and the lower end 30, in particular above adjacent to and / or slightly spaced from the fork 32, perpendicular or is arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 26 of the upper part 12 ⁇ .
- the groove 36 or the like recess 36 can be arranged in an equivalent manner, with any adaptation of other components, such as the receiving element 18, in / on the upper part 12 to the longitudinal axis 26 of the upper part 12 at an angle inclined.
