  • Patent number: 11499385
    Abstract: A releasable locking assembly including a housing, a body defining a longitudinally extending flow bore having a first end and a second end disposed within the housing, a window defined through a radial wall of the body, a locking segment having an outer convex surface of a first radius defined by distance from a first axis, and an inner concave surface of a second radius defined by distance from a second axis different than the first axis, the locking segment disposed at least in part in the window, and a support member disposed within the body and moveable between a position where the support member drives the locking segment into engagement with the housing and a position where the support member unsupports the locking segment with regard to engagement with the housing.

  • Patent number: 10907429
    Abstract: A tubular includes an outer surface and an inner surface defining a passage. A plug is arranged in the tubular blocking the passage. The plug is formed from a disintegrating on demand (DOD) material. An ignition device is coupled to the plug. An excitation mechanism is selectively operatively associated with the ignition device. The excitation mechanism selectively activates the ignition device to break apart the plug.

  • Publication number: 20050119676
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided an applier for a surgical device and method that provides automated ejection of the device and gives the surgeon use of the applier with one operative control. The applier includes a handle, a tube movable relative to the handle, and an ejector shaft driven by a force element for ejecting the device. It may include a cap called a bullet nose or probe tip. The cap may have a tapered distal surface to ease entry into small otomies in tissue. Using a button or knob to move the tube automatically triggers the ejector shaft to eject the device when the tube is in the correct position.
