Abstract

A prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device has a support, and a body extending from the support. The body has a cup defining an inner wall surface defining a sleeve-receiving recess having a longitudinal axis and defining a sleeve pin-receiving guide hole to a sleeve-pin receiving pin guide aperture. The sleeve pin-receiving pin guide aperture has a central axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve-receiving recess.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device comprising:
 a support, and   a body extending from the support, said body comprising a cup defining an inner wall surface defining a sleeve-receiving recess having a longitudinal axis and defining a sleeve pin-receiving guide hole to a sleeve-pin receiving pin guide aperture, the sleeve pin-receiving pin guide aperture having a central axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve-receiving recess.   
     
     
         2 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein said longitudinal axis of the sleeve-receiving recess is coaxial with said central axis of the pin-receiving pin guide aperture. 
     
     
         3 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein the cup defines a lip opening to said sleeve-receiving recess, with said lip opening lying perpendicular to said central axis of the sleeve pin-receiving pin guide aperture. 
     
     
         4 . The prosthetic sleeve and pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein said support is a base disposed at a predetermined angle relative to the body. 
     
     
         5 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 4 , wherein said predetermined angle of said body to said base is in the range of 0 degrees to 90 degrees. 
     
     
         6 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 5 , wherein said predetermined angle is about 45 degrees. 
     
     
         7 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein said cup-shaped sleeve-receiving recess is 4.5 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches deep. 
     
     
         8 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein said body, in at least a region of said sleeve-receiving recess, is cylindrical and defines an outer surface sized and shaped to receive there-over a portion of a prosthetic sleeve extending from said recess. 
     
     
         9 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein said body is cylindrical. 
     
     
         10 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 4 , wherein said predetermined angle is adjustable. 
     
     
         11 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein said support is a handle. 
     
     
         12 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said inner wall surface defining said sleeve-receiving recess lies parallel to said longitudinal axis of the sleeve-receiving recess. 
     
     
         13 . The prosthetic sleeve and sleeve pin alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said inner wall surface defining said sleeve-receiving recess lies parallel to said central axis of the pin-receiving pin guide aperture.
