Patent number: 6810782Abstract: A tool fastening mechanism has a housing 2, in which a clamping opening 3 is embodied for receiving a tapering tool shaft clamping end 4 of a tool part 5. The clamping opening 3 tapers inward in the introduction direction of the clamping end 4 of a tool part 5, and furthermore the tapering sides are inclined toward one another in a plane extending perpendicular to the introduction direction, as a result of which the opening has a trapezoidal cross section, and the length of this cross section decreases away from the orifice of the clamping opening 3. The housing 2 furthermore has a transverse opening 7, which intersects the clamping opening 3 and in which a locking pin 8 is received.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2002Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Steffen Wuensch, Harald Krondorfer, Mather John Carr, Anne Tregoning Miller, Neil Pollock, Hans Kaiser, Daniel Saegesser, Daniel Grolimund

Patent number: 6200346Abstract: A surface for a metal implant has a coarse structure of elevations and depressions, with the surface being permeated by a network of protruding ribs which form nodes and interstices or meshes having an interstice width of 2 mm to 0.4 mm, while the depressions represent sections of spherical cavities. The nodes of the ribs can protrude the furthest like mountain peaks, whereas the ribs which connect two nodes each form a lower lying saddle if the spherical cavities penetrate one another slightly. Through coating with an electrochemically resistant protective lacquer, into which holes can be shot at a predetermined spacing without damaging the metal, with a laser for example, a coarsely structured intermediary surface can be economically provided by means of electrochemical erosion which receives a fine structure through sand blasting.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1999Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: Sulzer Orthopaedie AGInventors: Roland Baege, John Maclaren Cassells, Toby StJohn King, Timothy Andrew Large, Anne Tregoning Miller

Patent number: 5965006Abstract: The invention shows a surface (2) for a metal implant (1) which has a coarse structure of elevations (3) and depressions (4), with the surface (2) being permeated by a network (5) of protruding ribs which form nodes (7) and interstices or meshes (8) having an interstice width of 2 mm to 0.4 mm, while the depressions represent sections of spherical cavities (11). The nodes (7) of the ribs can protrude the furthest like mountain peaks, whereas the ribs (6) which connect two nodes (7) each form a lower lying saddle (10) if the spherical cavities penetrate one another slightly. Through coating with an electrochemically resistant protective lacquer, into which holes can be shot at a predetermined spacing without damaging the metal, with a laser for example, a coarsely structured intermediary surface can be economically provided by means of electrochemical erosion which receives a fine structure through sand blasting.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1997Date of Patent: October 12, 1999Assignee: Sulzer Orthopaedie AGInventors: Roland Baege, John Maclaren Cassells, Toby StJohn King, Timothy Andrew Large, Anne Tregoning Miller

Patent number: 5918468Abstract: A cooling and carbonation apparatus (1) is described which has a cell (2) through which fluid to be cooled and carbonated flows. The cell (2) has first and second sidewalls (9, 15), and an outer wall (13) at least partially enclosing the first sidewall (9) of the cell (2) to form a coolant chamber on a first side of the cell. A cooling device (21), such as a Peltier device, is disposed on one side of the cell (2) in thermal connection with the cell (2), so that heat can be withdrawn from the coolant and the fluid to be cooled in a direction generally across the flow path of the fluid. A body of refrigerated coolant is maintained adjacent to the first sidewall (9) of the cell (2) thereby enhancing the cooling of the fluid. Carbon dioxide can be fed to the cell (2) and the liquid to be cooled pumped out of and back to the cell (2) to improve carbonation.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1997Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignee: TTP Group PLCInventors: John Maclaren Cassells, Adrian Michael Woodward, Andrew Richard Buchanan Halket, Anne Tregoning Miller

Patent number: 5800154Abstract: The invention is directed to a gas-heatable appliance for personal use as, for example, a curling iron, a curling brush, a hair dryer, an epilating appliance, a domestic appliance, or the like, including a fuel gas reservoir, a combustion chamber, and a valve assembly disposed between the fuel gas reservoir and the combustion chamber for controlling and/or regulating the amount of fuel gas supplied, in particular in dependence upon temperature. There are further provided a valve housing (4) with a gas passageway (5, 15, 16) and a sealing element (6) associated with the gas passageway (5, 15, 16), as well as an actuator (7) for actuating the sealing element (6). The element is configured as a control member actuatable by a user and/or as a temperature-responsive actuator (7). In this arrangement, the sealing element (6) is actuated directly by the actuator (7).Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: Braun AktiengesellschaftInventors: Friedrich Henninger, Dieter Liebenthal, Michael Stolper, Anne Tregoning Miller

Patent number: 5784083Abstract: A printhead (1) for an ink jet printer includes a chamber (5) for containing marking fluid fed to the head in use. A plurality of orifices (8) open from the chamber (5), a marking fluid being emitted in use through the orifices (8). A corresponding plurality of actuators are provided. Each actuator comprises an arm (12) having at one end means for selectively opening and closing a respective orifice (8); a magnetic circuit (12, 13, 14, 15) of which the arm (12) forms a side; and one or more coils (14) for selectively inducing a magnetic flux in the circuit in order to move the arm (12) between a position in which it closes the respective orifice (8) and a position in which it opens the orifice (8).Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1995Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: Domino Printing Sciences, PlcInventors: Matthew Alexander Schumann, Anne Tregoning Miller, John William Teape

Patent number: 5720750Abstract: The device contains a rasp (2) corresponding to the implant shaft, which comprises a shaft body (4), which can be driven into the osseous tissue, and a neck part (5) protruding therefrom, which can be equipped with a test ball corresponding to the ball-and-socket joint, and a grip part (7) which can be coupled to the rasp (2) for the insertion and withdrawal of the shaft body (4). The grip part (7) contains a guide bush (10), which can be slipped onto the neck part (5), and a slip-on part (14) having a stop face which can be placed on a front support face of the neck part (5). On the grip part (7) is articulated a coupling part (11), which comprises a claw (27) which through a recess in the guide sleeve (10) can engage in a recess of the neck part (5) and can be disengaged from it.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1996Date of Patent: February 24, 1998Assignee: Sulzer Medizinaltechnik AGInventors: Hansjorg Koller, Anne Tregoning Miller
