Patent number: 9032618Abstract: A method for insulating (5) a conductive bar (1) includes wrapping an insulating tape (2) around the conductive bar (1), enclosing it in a flexible container (4), applying a vacuum, impregnating the insulating tape (2) with an impregnating resin, curing the impregnating resin, and removing the conductive bar (1) with the insulation (5) around it from the flexible container (4). In addition, together with the insulating tape (2), an impregnating tape (3) made of the impregnating resin is wrapped around the conductive bar (1). In order to impregnate, the impregnating tape (3) is melted.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: ALSTOM RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESInventors: Thomas Baumann, Massimiliano Vezzoli, Thomas Hillmer, Thomas Widmer, Dieter Stoll, Clemens Dransfeld

Patent number: 7618417Abstract: A clamping element for the clamping of multiple rod-shaped elements has two opposing jaws, which have a number of corresponding grooves for the acceptance of a corresponding number of rod-shaped elements such as bone pins. Spring elements are provided, with which in the resting position the closed jaws are tensed, to hold the rod-shaped elements in position.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2005Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Stryker Trauma S.A.Inventors: Roland Thomke, Vinzenz Burgherr, Christian Lutz, Damian Fankhauser, Clemens Dransfeld, René Fischer

Patent number: 7241074Abstract: A one-piece clamping element has two opposing clamping jaws forming a laterally open cavity to receive a rod-shaped element. A hinge is located between the jaws, arranged opposite the cavity, and connecting the clamping jaws with one another and thus allowing them to be movable with respect to one another. Each clamping jaw has one bore, aligned flush with one another. One clamping jaw has a receptacle for an anti-rotation device. The receptacle makes it preferable—with the exception of an immediate tightening of the screw in this or another place of an external fixator clamping element used for the same patient—to use the clamping element only once and discarding it after use. Two identical clamping elements, with the possible exception of the size of the rod receptacle, can be placed on top of one another to form an articulation element.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2005Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Stryker Trauma S.A.Inventors: Roland Thomke, Vinzenz Burgherr, Christian Lutz, Damian Fankhauser, Clemens Dransfeld, René Fischer

Patent number: 6808526Abstract: An osteosynthesis screw (1) used especially for application by a translaminar vertebral screw, comprises a shaft (3) at least partially provided with a thread (2) and a head (4) formed at one of its ends and having a notch (5) for a tool. Said shaft (3) has a section (A) with a thread (2) on the end section oriented towards the head (4). The remaining section (B) of the shaft (3) up to the free end is produced without a thread. The head (4) has a diameter (D1) corresponding at least approximately to the outer diameter (DA) of the thread (2) and is provided with the inner notch (5) for a tool. The section (A) of the shaft (3) with the thread (2) has a configuration of uniform thickness, e.g. a trilobular configuration. Thus, the invention provides an osteosynthesis screw (1) exhibiting a short section (A) with a thread (2) and a long section (B) without a thread, said screw having a pull-out head (4) which is secured both axially and rotationally.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2001Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: Sepitec FoundationInventors: Fritz Magerl, Erich Wintermantel, Jörg Mayer, Roger Roland Tognini, Clemens Dransfeld, Walter Spirig
