  • Publication number: 20230285122
    Abstract: A transfer part for removable attachment and handling of a dental implant, the transfer part including a body portion having a longitudinal axis and including a traversing hole along the longitudinal axis, a center portion arranged in the traversing hole of the body portion, and a fastening mechanism for reversibly securing the transfer part to the dental implant, wherein the center portion and the body portion are configured for a relative motion between each other to switch from a first position to a second position and vice versa, wherein in the first position, the fastening mechanism is in a released state to allow a removal of the transfer part from the dental implant, and in the second position, the fastening mechanism is in an engaged state to allow a securing of the transfer part to the dental implant.

  • Patent number: 11446123
    Abstract: An instrument for holding and torque control tightening of a threaded implant device with an extender, the instrument including a frame forming a gripping handle and a holder, an elastic device that is arranged at the frame to provide a predefined elasticity to the frame, and a torque measurement device arranged on the frame, wherein the holder is configured to (i) removably hold the threaded implant device and to (ii) hold the extender for tightening the threaded implant device to an object after the threaded implant device has been removed from the holder, and the torque measurement device is configured to measure a torque applied to the threaded implant device via the extender by a deformation of the frame.

  • Patent number: 6191502
    Abstract: In an apparatus for tapping current from a busbar by means of a roller which is arranged, for example, on a trolley, the one roller is also intended to have associated with it at least one further roller, adjacent to it and at a distance from the same busbar. In addition, at least one further busbar is provided parallel to said busbar on which further rollers for tapping current roll. In addition, each roller is assigned a connection to an electrical load and a contact spring leads from the connection to the roller circumference and makes contact at the roller circumference.
