Patent number: 10213308Abstract: A two-piece socket for a ball-and-socket arrangement, including a base and a cap. The socket includes a leg on one of the cap or base of the socket and a receiving groove on the other of the cap or base of the socket, wherein there is at least one opening in the leg which lines up with a corresponding opening in the groove for a fastener to extend through these openings to releasably secure the cap to the base of the socket. The orientation of the fastener is such that the fastener is under shear loading when the cap is pulled apart from the base.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2018Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Aptis Medical, LLCInventor: Luis Roman Scheker
