  • Publication number: 20220183798
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an assembly including a superstructure support that supports a superstructure, an implant body having an inner thread, and a threaded bolt. The superstructure support and the implant body are secured against rotation relative to one other. An inner thread is arranged in the cavity of the superstructure support, in the region of said cavity facing the implant body. The threaded bolt has two outer threads arranged one behind the other, with or without a spacing between them, the first of which is an outer thread for driving and the second is an outer thread for clamping. The two outer threads have different pitches. The present invention improves an assembly interface between a superstructure support and an implant body, such that the superstructure is securely supported, with simple pre-assembly and final assembly.

  • Patent number: 10561506
    Abstract: An orthopedic joint system having an upper part and a lower part mounted thereon so as to pivot about a pivoting axis, and a pawl which prevents in a locking position any relative movement between the upper part and the lower part about the pivoting axis, and allows in a release position a relative movement about the pivoting axis. The pawl, in the locking position, interlockingly engages a locking element and can be shifted to the release position via a pull element, a first end of the pull element being attached to the upper part or to the lower part and moved along the outside of the pawl in a curved section, and a second end of the pull element being provided with an actuating device which causes the curved section to be shortened and the pawl to be moved to the release position when the actuating device is actuated.

  • Patent number: 10010435
    Abstract: An orthopedic damping device with a movably mounted piston and at least one chamber which has a wall and in which a compressible medium is compressed by moving the piston in a first direction and decompressed by moving the piston in an opposite second direction. The chamber is connected to a discharge channel. A closure element is paired with the discharge channel. The closure element is movably mounted on a support. The support is coupled to the piston or is designed as a piston. The closure element is coupled to a contact region which can be moved relative to the support.

  • Patent number: 6276256
    Abstract: Breechblock for barrel weapons, having a breechblock head which is guided in a breechblock guide and, by means of a control element which can be moved to and fro in a straight line and has control ramps, can be brought out of a loading position into a locking position, which is parallel to and axially displaced with respect to the loading position, inside a breechblock bearing, which breechblock head has supporting surfaces, which are associated in a form-locking manner with the control ramps of the control element, and at least one locking boss, which corresponds with a recess in the breechblock, for the purpose of locking in the locking position.
