Abstract: The invention relates to a tissue anchor which is an open helix of biocompatible material having a slope of from 0.5 to 10 turns per centimeter, a length from 3 to 75 millimeters, a diameter of from 1.5 to 11 millimeters, and an aspect ratio of from about 3 to about 5 to 1. The anchor can have a head which is capable of securing or clamping tissue together, such as holding a suture to secure a ligament or tendon to bone. The anchor can also have a head which causes an inward, compressive loading for use in fastening bone to bone, orthopedic plates to bone, or cartilage to bone.

Abstract: A cash box which is of rectangular shape, and comprises a top lid part and a bottom receptacle part of similar shape and depth which are hinged together at the back. The bottom part supports a coin-receiving tray having an outwardly-extending flanged rim, which seats on the top edge or lip of the bottom part and provides a seal between the two parts. This flanged rim is also adapted to cover the joint between the lid and bottom part when the cash box is closed. A lock unit is fitted in a recessed portion of the top panel of the lid part, which also accommodates a pivoted carrying handle. The lock has a locking plate that cooperates with an abutment provided by an upstanding post, which is secured to the bottom receptacle part and which passes through an aperture in the coin-receiving tray. The structure disclosed facilitates economical manufacture of a compact cash box with an efficient utilization of storage space.
