  • Bone fixation device
    Patent number: 5380322
    Abstract: Bone fixation device comprising a profiled bar (1) on which at least two supporting members (2) have been movably and lockably mounted. The supporting members (2) comprise a sliding portion (3) having an opening (4) therein for passing the bar (1) and a supporting plate (5) extending from the sliding part (3), with a convex and concave surface (12, 13). Against the convex surface lies a ring (15) and against the concave surface lies a convex surface (21) of a receiving element (20, 27) in which screws (23) have been clamped, which can be secured in a bone part (24). Through the ring (15) extends a bolt (7) that has been screwed into one of a number of threaded bores (19) in the receiving element (20, 27) and which bolt extends through a relatively large opening in the supporting plate (5).

  • Method and device for dismantling automobiles
    Patent number: 5335406
    Abstract: Method for dismantling automobiles, in which a car (3) to be dismantled is placed on transporting members (5) which are movable over rails (4, 19) to guide the car past successive stations for performing certain activities at each station. A rotating device (20) is employed to bring the car up over a certain distance and for rotating it about one of its shafts, whereby the bottom side of the car is accessible from above. After bringing up the car (3), but before rotating it, one or more receptacles (49) are brought underneath the car for receiving liquid flowing from the car. Working platforms (45) are present at least at the rotating device (20), so that the bottom side of the car is well accessible.
