  • Publication number: 20240148504
    Abstract: A catheter device for implanting a medical implant such as a prosthetic heart valve has a handle configured to control/steer multiple sheaths of the catheter device. A handle includes a grip portion, a rotatable deployment knob and a traveler. An outer sheath is connected to the traveler and the deployment knob is operatively connected to the traveler such that the traveler and thereby the outer sheath are moved along the longitudinal axis with respect to the inner sheath. The handle includes a rotatable axial positioning knob and a rotatable deflection knob. The deployment knob is arranged proximally to the axial positioning knob.

  • Publication number: 20240053796
    Abstract: The disclosed adjustable strap apparatus may include a left strap having a first rack member and a right strap having a second rack member. An electrical unit may have an opening through which a shaft passes. A pinion member may be affixed to a proximal end of the shaft and may be adapted to (a) engage the first rack member and the second rack member and (b) translate the first rack member and the second rack member in opposite directions via rotation of the shaft. A ratcheting member may be coupled to a distal end of the shaft and may include one or more pawls adapted to prevent rotation of the shaft when engaged. Various other methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10220663
    Abstract: The invention relates to a running gear structure (4) for a commercial vehicle. The running gear structure comprises a lower transverse strut (8) and an upper transverse strut (9). The lower transverse strut (8) and said upper transverse strut (9) are fixedly connected to each other. The upper transverse strut (9) comprising two recesses (12, 13) which limit a space (14) located above the lower transverse strut (8). The space (14) is open at least in upper direction and dimensioned for accommodating a suspension spring (6). Preferably, an axle body and longitudinal swinging arms (22, 23) of the running gear structure (4) have a skeletal design with a plurality of struts (5). It is possible that the running gear structure (4) is L-shaped in a side view. Here, one leg of the L is formed by a horizontal structure part forming the longitudinal swinging arms (22, 23) whereas the other leg of the L is formed by a vertical structure part forming the axle body.

  • Patent number: 6039336
    Abstract: Axle suspension assembly for suspending a vehicle axle includes a rigid tubular axle body to extend transversely of a vehicle. A radius arm has a front end to be articulated to a chassis of the vehicle. The radius arm is fixed, at a position rearwardly of the front end of the radius arm, to an end of the axle body. The radius arm encompasses a portion only of the axle body in the direction of a circumference thereof, such portion being equal to at least 180.degree. of such circumference. The radius arm is fixed to the axle body, preferably by a welded seam, along all edges of the radius arm bordering the axle body.
