Figure 5.1.2 – Solid Edge Model of Refined Hook Concept
Shown above is the second iteration of the hook concept. The movable jaw feature has been
eliminated from this design and a different approach to the vector system has been implemented.
Rather than use a “screw” to adjust the vector position of the hook, the body of the book has
been drilled out in three places to allow for three potential locations of spring placement. The
lever on the left side of the hook can be pulled outward and then slid and released into the
appropriate location.
5.1.2 Concept B – Otto Bock Model 10A60 Vector Hook
During the design of our own vector hook system it was discovered that there was a pre-existing
hook of very similar operation. The Otto Bock Model 10A60 shown below incorporates and 2setting
vector system.
