Abstract: The invention relates to a device, a process and an apparatus for manufacturing a silentblock device having a silentblock (4), a seating (2), a shock absorber (3) and a casing (1) having first joining means (120) between the casing (1) and the seating (2) formed by a frusto-conical portion (121) in each end of the casing (1) and a conjugated frusto-conical portion (122) in each end of the seating (2) to clamp the seating (2) to the casing (1). The apparatus has: containment devices (100) for defining a cavity (110) between the surface to be over-injected and the containment devices (100); entrance devices (200) in the containment devices (100), so that the over-injection product can be introduced in the cavity (110).

Abstract: A ball joint device having a ball joint (4), a ball joint seat (2) and a casing (1). The casing (1) has a first casing housing (10) to house the seat (2), said first casing housing (10) being configured to prevent relative movement between the casing (1) and the seat (2). The casing (1) also has a first casing end (11); a second casing end (12) opposite to the first casing end (11) having first joining elements (120) between the casing (1) and the seat (2); an intermediate portion (13) in the first casing housing (10) between the first casing end (11) and the second casing end (12), said intermediate portion (13) having second joining elements (130) between the casing (1) and the seat (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a joining and stress transmitting element for suspension and steering mechanisms in automotive vehicles comprising: a central portion (1) in the form of a bar having a first end and a second end; a first end portion (2) at the first end such that the central portion (1) and the first end portion (2) form a single-piece joining element from a light material providing mechanical strength. The first end portion (2) forms a perform (1A) of a casing (1C) of a connecting device, said perform (1A) being configured so that a definite shape of the casing (1C) is defined by means of a forming operation on said preform (1A).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device, a process and an apparatus for manufacturing a ball joint device having a ball joint and a casing (1). The casing (1) has a housing (10) for housing the ball joint (2), said housing (10) being configured so as to allow a sliding movement of the first ball joint portion (21) in the housing (10). The apparatus has: containment devices (100) for defining a cavity (110) between the surface to be over-injected and the containment devices (100); entrance devices (200) in the containment devices (100), so that the over-injection product can be introduced in the cavity (110).

Abstract: A connection and stress transmission element for automotive vehicle mechanisms, the apparatus and the process for manufacturing the joining element by ovreinjection. The joining element has a central portion (1) and a first end portion (2). The central portion (1) is of a material providing mechanical resistance and is bar-shaped, having a first end and a second end. The first end portion (2) is of plastic material overinjected on the first end such that the central portion (1) and the first end portion (2) form an single-piece joining element. The apparatus has: containing devices (100) to define a cavity (110) between the surface to be overinjected and the containing devices (100); input devices (200) and output devices (300) in the containing devices (100) so that the ovreinjection product is introduced in and extracted from the cavity (110).

Abstract: A spinal implant assembly is provided for stabilizing the spine. The assembly includes an elongated plate, bolts, and nuts. The plate is fixed to vertebrae spanning an injury or deformity to a disc or vertebra using the bolts and nuts. Screws can provide additional stability. The nuts are configured to extend through the plate to clamp the plate between collars on both the bolts and nuts.

Abstract: A spinal implant system is provided for correcting spinal abnormalities. The system involves connectors configured to fit over spinal implant rods, a transverse rod, and a locking member for fixing each connector to the spinal implant rod and transverse rod. The connector is configured such that when the locking member is in a first position, the transverse rod is temporarily fixed to the connector, and when the locking member is in a second position, both the transverse rod and spinal implant rod are fixed to the connector.
