Patent number: 5480451Abstract: A spherical head endoprosthesis has a spherical head and a base piece. Between the base piece and the spherical head is a conical interference fit connection, wherein the spherical head has a conical bore and the base piece has a conical pin. The axis of the conical bore and the center line of the spherical head form an angle in the range of 7.degree. to 15.degree.. The conical bore is decentralized in relation to the center line with an offset of 1 to 4 mm. On the inside of the bore are at least five grooves parallel to the axis of the bore, into which, after assembly of the conical interference fit connection, grips at least one locking projection provided on the peripheral surface of the conical pin. The grooves may be designated by markings around the periphery of the bore opening for easy identification of the proper groove for insertion of the locking projection during the replacement operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1993Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignee: Eska Medical GmbH & Co.Inventors: Hans Grundei, Heinz Moser

Patent number: 5340092Abstract: A transfer station for transferring foundry ladles from a delivery station situated on the shop floor level to a higher pouting position of a curved continuous-casting installation, and includes a revolving turret with a foundation and supporting arms for receiving the foundry ladle. The arms are guided by paths and are arranged at a column which is rotatably supported on the foundation. A lifting device in the form of a hydraulic cylinder is provided for vertically moving the supporting arms. The lifting device is arranged below the plane of the rotating ring of the column only on the side of the take-over position regardless of the position of the column. The take-over position for the foundry ladle is likewise arranged below the plane of the rotating ting. The paths provided at the column extend below the plane of the rotating ring on the side of the delivery station and are severed in the plane of the rotating ting.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1993Date of Patent: August 23, 1994Assignee: Mannesmann AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans J. Hecken, Rudiger Heine, Dietmar Lohse, Heinz Moser

Patent number: 5123928Abstract: A knee joint endoprosthesis is provided, having a femur component to be anchored by a shaft and equipped with two gliding runners, which between them define a hollow space extending anteriorly to posteriorly and open toward the tibia, and a tibia component also to be anchored by a shaft and having two gliding surfaces on which the gliding runners of the femur component can execute rolling and gliding movement. The knee joint endoprosthesis is characterized by the tibia component being equipped with a double truncated cone, which is arranged with its main axis toward the femur and which serves as a guiding and stress reducing element. Further, a pair of guiding surfaces is constructed in the hollow space of the femur component. These surfaces are inclined at angles corresponding respectively to the angles of inclination of the two half truncated cones that form the double truncated cone. The cone surfaces of the half truncated cones are partially surrounded by and glide upon the pair of guiding surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1990Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: Eska Medical Luebeck Medizintechnik GmbHInventor: Heinz Moser

Patent number: 4324550Abstract: An implant for the jaw includes an implant body, to be fixed without bone cement, a bed made of plastics material and an implant support for receiving the suprastructure. In order to reduce the specific load on the bone the implant body is provided with support ribs, which have the profile of a bone screw. The bed, providing a flexible layer between the implant body and support is frusto-conical towards its lower end and is spread by the implant support, when said support is screwed in.This construction provides for secure anchorage of the implant body into the bone as well as of the bed and the implant support into the implant body.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1980Date of Patent: April 13, 1982Assignee: Osteo AGInventors: Jurgen Reuther, Heinz Moser, Hermann Krauss
