  • Publication number: 20240115259
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first jaw (16) and a second jaw (618, 718, 900) that cooperate to clamp and staple tissue (90). The second jaw includes a jaw body (620, 720, 902) and a distal tip (619, 719, 906) pivotable relative to the jaw body between a first discrete and a second discrete position. First and second openings (663, 784, 785, 932, 934) are both defined by one of the distal tip or a structure (621, 920) located proximal to the distal tip. A projection (637, 781, 918) is defined by the other of the distal tip or the structure. The projection is positionable within the first opening (663, 785, 932) to releasably retain the distal tip in the first discrete position, and within the second opening (663, 784, 934) to releasably retain the distal tip in the second discrete position.

  • Patent number: 4920458
    Abstract: An ergonomically adjustable multiple VDT display workstation for use in multiuser facilities. It is particularly applicable to VDT display and use, but it may be used for any equipment that can advantageously utilize its structural and functional features. The workstation includes modules assembled to provide four or more embodiments of the workstation. The modules are comprised of a base, worksurface, first and second tier display housing modules, as well as including a light module and a light canopy. The workstation provides a full range of adjustability, for worksurface, keyboards, and display equipment. The workstation fully integrates VDT units and state of the art ergonomics with task and ambient lighting.
