A coupling-socket adapter assembly for a prosthetic limb. A base plate subassembly is attachable to a first prosthetic limb component. A coupling-socket adapter is rotatably attached to the base plate subassembly and has a cavity for receiving a male coupling member (such as a boss of a pyramidal link-plate). Various mechanisms, including a ring having internal threads and including a ring-clamp, are disclosed for locking the coupling-socket adapter against rotation with respect to the base plate subassembly and for unlocking the coupling-socket adapter for rotation with respect to the base plate subassembly, wherein the mechanisms are operable when the base plate subassembly is attached to the first prosthetic limb component.

1. A coupling-socket adapter assembly, for a prosthetic limb, comprising:a) a base plate subassembly attachable to a first prosthetic limb component; b) a coupling-socket adapter rotatably attached to the base plate subassembly, having an upper portion and a lower portion, and having a cavity for receiving a male coupling member, wherein the lower portion includes a tapered outside circumferential surface; and c) an adjustable-diameter ring clamp disposed between the base plate subassembly and the upper portion of the coupling-socket adapter and having a tapered inside circumferential surface which surround the tapered outside circumferential surface of the lower portion of the coupling-socket adapter, wherein decreasing the diameter of the ring clamp locks the coupling-socket adapter against rotation with respect to the base plate subassembly, and wherein increasing the diameter of the ring clamp unlocks the coupling-socket adapter for rotation with respect to the coupling-socket adapter.
