Publication number: 20210275313Abstract: An orthopaedic joint prosthesis assembly includes a head part of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis component and an alignment guide. The head part has a spherical bearing. surface for articulation with a corresponding joint surface, and an assembly surface having a first bore formed in it for receiving a spigot on another part of the orthopaedic joint prosthesis, The bore has a first axis that extends perpendicular to the assembly surface. There is a discontinuity at an interface between the bearing surface and the assembly surface, and the assembly surface is arranged on a plane which is parallel to, or contains, a plane which is defined by the opening to the bore in the head part when the head part is viewed from one side in cross-section. The alignment guide has an axial portion and an arm extending from the axial portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Gary MOORE, Alec BIRKBECK, Christopher HUNT, Richard PATNELLI, David HORNE, Henry PROUT

Patent number: 11060250Abstract: An expansion joint sealing system for bridging and sealing a gap located between two spaced-apart structural deck members. The expansion joint sealing system includes an elastomeric seal member and a substantially rigid plate member. The elastomeric seal member is fixedly attached to an underlying structural deck member and is able to expand and contract in the longitudinal direction in relation to the traffic direction across the expansion joint. The rigid plate is not fastened to the elastomeric seal member with mechanical fasteners or other fastening means, but is slidingly engaged with the elastomeric seal member through an elongated guide member. As the rigid plate member is not fastened to the elastomeric seal member, it is able to move along a guide member in a direction that is transverse to the direction of traffic across the expansion joint.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Watson Bowman Acme CorporationInventors: Gary Moore, Adam Smith, Paul Pumm

Patent number: 10980579Abstract: A kit of parts for inserting a deformable implant into a cavity in a bone of a patient is described. An inserter instrument comprises a body having a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis from a distal end to a proximal end. An attachment mechanism is provided at the distal end and to which a deformable implant can be releasably attached. A drive mechanism is provided at the proximal end of the body. An insertion stop is mounted on the body and arranged to control the depth of insertion of the inserter instrument into a guide tube. A push rod is freely and slidably arranged within the cavity and has a distal end engageable with a part of the deformable implant and a proximal end abutable by the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is operable to drive the push rod toward the distal end of the body. The kit also includes an impactor dimensioned for slidable engagement within the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: DePuy Ireland Unlimited CompanyInventors: James Anderson, Gary Moore, Ivan Green

Patent number: 10849765Abstract: The invention provides an impactor for transmitting an assembly force to a component of an orthopaedic implant. The impactor has first and second telescoping parts which are biased apart by means of a main spring. The main spring is compressed when an assembly force is applied to the parts. An indicator is latched against movement until it is released when the extent of the compression of the main spring by the application of an assembly force exceeds a threshold. The indicator then moves to provide the user with an indication that a minimum assembly force has been applied.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Inventors: Alec Birkbeck, Graeme Dutton, David Horne, Thomas Maack, Gary Moore
