  • Patent number: 10746214
    Abstract: A clamping device for positioning longitudinal fixation elements includes (a) a first clamp having a substantially S-shape and including three clamping arms defining first and second clamp openings for receiving longitudinal fixation elements therein, the first and second clamping openings extending along channel axes corresponding to longitudinal axes of the longitudinal fixation elements to be received therein and being open to an exterior of the clamp body via insertion slots through which the longitudinal bone fixation elements are insertable into the first and second clamp openings laterally relative to the channel axes; (b) a second clamp including first and second clamping arms defining a third clamp opening therebetween for receiving a longitudinal fixation element; (c) a first borehole extending through the three arms of the first clamp and the first and second arms of the second clamp along a first axis; (d) a shaft extending through the first borehole; and (e) a locking member engagable with the sh

  • Patent number: 9089368
    Abstract: The mutual positioning of longitudinal building components includes two clamps routed towards each other about an axis of rotation. Each of the two clamps comprises two limbs defining an opening located therebetween. The opening is selectively narrowed or expanded by elastic deformation of the clamps such that a longitudinal building component which is introduced into the opening of the clamp is prefixed. The two clamps are provided with a bore which is coaxial to the axis of rotation and penetrates the limbs of the clamps. The two clamps are borne on a shaft and blocking means are provided to selectively block the rotatability of the two clamps about the axis of rotation and press the limbs of each clamp against the longitudinal building component inserted into the opening of the clamp. One of the two clamps is S-shaped such that it defines two diametrically opposite clamp openings.

  • Publication number: 20080247818
    Abstract: The invention relates to the mutual positioning of longitudinal building components, comprising two clamps (1) which can be rotated towards each other about an axis of rotation (6). Each of the two clamps (1) comprises two limbs (2) which define an opening (3) located therebetween. The opening (3) can be selectively narrowed or expanded by elastic deformation of the clamps (1) such that a longitudinal building component which is introduced into the opening of the clamp (3) can be prefixed. The two clamps (1) are provided with a bore (4) which is coaxial in relation to the axis of rotation (6) and which penetrates the limbs (2) of the clamps. The two clamps (1) are borne on a shaft (7) and blocking means are provided. Said blocking means are used to selectively block the rotatability of the two clamps (1) about the axis of rotation (6) and press the limbs (2) of each clamp against the longitudinal building component inserted into the opening (3) of the clamp.
