Ball draw-off apparatus for shaft prostheses

The invention relates to a ball draw-off apparatus for shaft prostheses with balls ( 3 ) which can be placed onto the prosthesis neck ( 2 ). The apparatus has two rotary bodies ( 5 a , 5 b ) which are rotatably supported in a housing ( 4 ), which can in each case be rotated with a lever arm ( 6 a ,...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a ball draw-off apparatus for shaft prostheses with balls ( 3 ) which can be placed onto the prosthesis neck ( 2 ). The apparatus has two rotary bodies ( 5 a , 5 b ) which are rotatably supported in a housing ( 4 ), which can in each case be rotated with a lever arm ( 6 a , 6 b ) and which with their axes of rotation ( 7 a , 7 b ) lie in a common plane and form an open gap S in the projection onto the plane F for the introduction of the prosthesis neck ( 2 ). The rotary bodies have a profile which with increasing rotation decreases the gap S for clamping the prosthesis neck ( 2 ) and causes an increase of the distance of its upper edge ( 9 a , 9 b ) from the plane F in order to produce a draw-off force P at the placed on ball directly or indirectly via an intermediate body.
