ABSTRACT:
A fastening arrangement for a limb support device includes a formable jacket having a top side and a bottom side. An injured limb or body part is positioned on the bottom side. The jacket is formed to the desired shape for supporting and protecting the limb. A belt holder having an opening is rigidly secured to the top side. A belt passes through the opening of the holder. A stud is pivotally attached to the belt and extends outward from the upper side of the belt. The stud abuts the holder to anchor the stud against the holder and prevent movement of the stud and belt through the opening of the holder when the belt is pulled in one direction. This maintains a fixed length of the belt from one end of the belt to the anchored stud. The ends of the belt are connected together after the stud is anchored. Belt length adjustment means is provided to vary the remaining length of the belt (other than the fixed length) from the anchored stud to the opposite end of the belt, for securely fastening the jacket to the injured limb. The stud is movable to lie substantially flat on said belt to permit movement of the belt and stud through the holder opening. To remove the limb support device, the ends of the belts are disconnected. To reattach the limb support device, the belts ends are reconnected and no adjustments of the belt lengths are required.
