<p>The present invention provides a locking device intended as a fastening element for prostheses, of the kind in which the prosthesis is attached to a cylindrical member. The locking device includes a housing with a through opening for receiving the cylindrical member and a locking mechanism arranged therein for locking to the cylindrical member in one axial direction thereof. In the housing along the through opening of the housing opposite the locking mechanism there is further arranged a spring-loaded gripping washer with a through opening which is somewhat larger than the diameter of the cylindrical member and which by an axle having a lever arm is brought to an inclined position and grips the cylindrical member and pulls the cylindrical member further into the housing.</p> |
