  • Publication number: 20020070640
    Abstract: A self-locking mechanism for use with a locking barrier on a cabinet. The locking mechanism includes an actuator and one or more locking members for securing the locking barrier in a closed position. When the locking barrier is in an open position, a detent element holds one of the locking members and the actuator in an unlocked position. A projection attached to the cabinet disengages the detent element upon closing of the locking barrier, thus allowing the locking member to extend into its locked position.

  • Patent number: 5702415
    Abstract: A powered medical handpiece including an oscillatingly driveable chuck, and a blade fixable on the chuck and oscillating driveable thereby at a small amplitude for cutting. The chuck comprises a platform, a holddown screw having an enlarged head surrounded by a frictionally engaged cup washer and a shank structure threaded down into a central portion of the platform. A set screw limits the extent of unthreading of the screw from the platform. The blade is plate-like and has a forward cutting portion and a rearward mounting portion. The rearward mounting portion comprises a key hole having locking structure at the small diameter end thereof for resisting unthreading of the screw from a tightened position clamping the blade atop the platform. The blade further has drive openings flanking the narrow portion of the key hole for receiving upstanding drive pins and guide pins fixed on the platform.
