HAND STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190024 titled 'HAND STRUCTURE
The abstract of this patent application describes a hand with a shock absorber to relieve rotational torque generated during a swing of the finger portion in response to a collision with a dynamic object.
- Base portion
- Finger joint portion
- Finger portion swingable about the finger joint portion
- Shock absorber to relieve rotational torque
- Plurality of finger portions for one base
- Shock absorber connected between at least one finger portion and the base
Potential Applications: - Sports equipment - Prosthetics - Robotics
Problems Solved: - Reducing rotational torque in response to collisions - Improving hand stability during dynamic movements
Benefits: - Enhanced safety during physical activities - Increased durability of the hand structure
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Shock-Absorbing Hand Technology for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be utilized in sports equipment, prosthetics, and robotics industries to improve hand functionality and safety during dynamic movements.
Prior Art: Research in the fields of biomechanics, prosthetics, and robotics may provide insights into similar technologies or approaches to addressing rotational torque in hand structures.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in shock-absorbing materials, biomechanics, and robotics to enhance the performance and applications of this technology.
Questions about Shock-Absorbing Hand Technology: 1. How does the shock absorber in this hand technology differ from traditional damping systems? 2. What materials are commonly used in the construction of shock-absorbing hands for prosthetic applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
a hand according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a base portion, a finger joint portion provided at the base portion, a finger portion swingable about the finger joint portion, and a shock absorber coupled between the base portion and the finger portion to relieve rotational torque generated in the finger portion in response to a swing of the finger portion due to collision of a dynamic object. a plurality of the finger portions is provided for one base, and the shock absorber is connected between at least one of the finger portions and the base.
