Publication number: 20100287755Abstract: With a method for manufacturing a bendable tube, which is preferably envisaged for an endoscopic instrument, first a tube is separated into several tube sections in a manner such that adjacent tube sections engage into one another with a positive fit in the axis direction of the tube. After the separation of the tube into several tube sections, one envisages peripherally arranging means for providing a positive fit transversely to the axis direction of the tube, on the regions of the tube sections, which are situated in engagement with one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2010Publication date: November 18, 2010Applicant: RICHARD WOLF GMBHInventor: Eberhard KÕRNER

Patent number: 6918916Abstract: The target apparatus for positioning a drilling tool with respect to a drilling channel to be created in a bone consists of a target hook and a guide arm which is releasably connected to this and on which there is arranged a receiver for the drilling tool, and a guide path in the form of a laterally through-going open groove for the guide arm. The guide arm may be displaced and fixed in the guide path. A simple assembly and disassembly of the apparatus is achieved in that the guide arm on the side of the apparatus is applied into the guide path through the groove opening and reversely, by lifting away out of the groove, may be separated from the target hook.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2002Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Richard Wolf GmbHInventors: Jürgen Göbel, Eberhard Körner, Helmut Heckele
