Tool for the adjustment of a prosthetic anatomical device

Номер: US20140088691A1
Автор: Eric E. Bielefeld
Принадлежит: St Jude Medical LLC

An adjustment tool enables manipulation of a prosthetic anatomical device such as an annuloplasty ring. The tool includes a compression member which is operative for retarding rotation of the adjustment shaft to preclude inadvertent rotation thereof during use of the tool by the surgeon. A locking device is associated with the adjustment tool to enable the releasable attachment of the tool to the anatomical device during its adjustment by manipulation of the tool. The locking device is oriented into operative and inoperative positions by the engagement and disengagement of locking elements. A scale may be provided on the adjustment tool to assist a surgeon in determining the size or amount of adjustment to the size of the anatomical device during its adjustment.

Locking Clutch Ratchet Wrenches

Номер: US20190015958A1
Автор: Nigel Buchanan
Принадлежит: Individual

A locking clutch ratchet wrench ( 1 ) is configured such that a clutch ring ( 500 ) forms the mid part of aminate like structure. Under torque applying conditions, the compression forces applied to the clutch ring ( 500 ) are substantially dissipated around the circumference ( 507 ) of the clutch ring. This inwardly directed force clamp against the inherently strong outer surface ( 405 ) of the drive element ( 400 ). The resultant pseudo laminate structure of the drive element ( 400 ), clutch ( 500 ) and housing ( 201, 202 ) enables the construction of a proportionately stronger ratchet wrench of reduced height or width.

The tool has a folded position and an unfolded position. It will generally include a head assembly and an articulated handle. The handle can also be used alone. The handle, or the tool with such handle, occupies only a very compact space once in a fully folded position. It may thus be easily carried and stored when not in use. It can be folded and unfolded with only a minimal manipulative effort and level of difficulty. The main constituent parts cannot become detached and this unitary design alleviates the risks of parts being misplaced or lost. 1. A tool including:a head assembly; a proximal elongated hollow outer segment, the proximal outer segment having a proximal end and at least one longitudinally extending slideway;', 'a distal elongated hollow outer segment, the distal outer segment having a distal end;', 'an intervening hinge joint pivotally interconnecting the outer segments in juxtaposition, the outer segments being in alignment along a longitudinal axis when the handle is in the stretched configuration, and being folded back on one another when the handle is in the collapsed configuration; and', 'a proximal and a distal elongated inner segment slidably mounted inside the outer segments, the inner segments having complementary end members that are self-interlocking in a linear force-transmitting engagement when the handle is in the stretched configuration, the inner segments being detached from one another when the handle is in the collapsed configuration; and, 'an articulated handle having a stretched configuration and a collapsed configuration, the handle includinga linkage assembly operatively attaching the handle to the head assembly, the linkage assembly including a sleeve member in sliding engagement with the proximal outer segment, the proximal outer segment being axially movable, with reference to the sleeve member, between at least a retracted position and an extended position, the proximal end of the proximal outer segment being further away ...

A torque amplifying lever extension providing a safe means of increasing the force applied to the handle of a wrench, other hand tool, or machine lever. A lever extension can be placed over virtually any size lever handle without adjustment of the lever extension. Using only one hand, a user can quickly add the lever extension to a lever handle and apply additional force with reduced risk of a tool or handle or the lever extension slipping and injuring the user or damaging the work. 2. The lever extension in wherein said cylindrical body and said hand grip are joined by a tapered intermediate section.3. The lever extension in wherein said hand grip has an anti-slip surface.4. The lever extension in wherein said hand grip terminates in a knob to keep a user's hand from sliding off said hand grip.6. A new use for a hollow aluminum baseball bat with the distal tip cut off claim 2 , an improvement wherein said baseball bat comprises:a. a hollow cylindrical body with an opening at said distal end of said baseball bat andb. a hand grip at the proximal end of said baseball batwhereby a user can amplify torque applied to a lever handle.

This invention can increase the torque applied through the handle of many different kinds of levers. Pipes are discussed below but handles exist on many types of machinery and equipment. A pipe wrench handle is just one example of a tool or machine requiring the user to apply lever force to operate.In most cases, threaded piping holds liquids or gasses under pressure. Pipe junctions and fittings have tapered threads that seal the joints against leakage. An interference fit is required to ensure a good seal. Frequently a pipe or fitting may require more force to loosen because of rust or pipe sealant. A pipe union has a pressure fit between the male and female ends. This requires greater force to tighten or loosen ...
