Abstract: A knife (10) having a body (16) with a handle (14) and a blade (12), the blade having two sides (22), an upper edge (18) and a sharp lower edge (20) for cutting, the body having an upper side which includes at least two indentations (42, 48) which are spaced apart from one another, wherein at least one of the indentations is formed in the upper edge of the blade.

Abstract: A pry bar has a transversely disposed generally triangular cross-section handle grip portion having surfaces formed of a soft elastomeric over-molded material. The handle is formed with an inner hard thermoplastic core and molded over outer elastomeric cover. A metal tether receiving element and impact cap are fixedly secured at the handle proximate end.

Abstract: Systems and devices adapted to provide a low profile drilling and reaming tool/device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a device includes: a base housing; a fixture head connected to the base housing, the fixture head including an aperture therethrough; a rotational connector disposed within the aperture and configured to rotate within the aperture; and a fixture slidingly connected to the fixture head via the rotational connector, the fixture extending through the aperture.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for affixing to cylindrical components of medical instruments, for instance an instrumental shaft, having at least one intake part that can be mounted on the cylindrical component and can be affixed to the cylindrical component, wherein a sleeve-shaped collet chuck that essentially coaxially surrounds the cylindrical component is positioned in the intake part and whose inner diameter can be displaced between a span that can slide along the cylindrical component and a span that is in form-locking contiguity on the cylindrical component. To allow for a stationary clamping on the one hand and ensure a non-harmful clamping of the cylindrical component on the other hand, it is proposed with the invention that the inner diameter of the collet chuck can be displaced by a slider that can slide essentially diagonally to the cylindrical component and is mounted so that it can slide in the housing of the intake part.

Abstract: A surgical bone operation instrument that has a straight tube-shaped shaft and arrangement coaxially in relationship to the longitudinal axis of the instrument to form a continuous channel from one end of the instrument to the other including the end parts, which serves for the guidance of materials utilized in the operation of the instrument, and a driving assembly being of a bell-type electrical motor with the stator enclosed within the bell-shaped rotor, the latter having windings of lacquered wire embedded in a plastic material, the windings further being wound to form a hollow cylinder of relatively thin wall thickness to form a part of the bell-shaped rotor, the mechanical structure of the rotor being furthermore reinforced by glass fibers.
