  • Publication number: 20240122624
    Abstract: An external fixation system for treatment of bones includes first and second clamps for locking pins that are inserted into bones. At least one clamp includes a socket having a recess. An attachment post includes a distal portion configured to be inserted into the socket recess. A tightening nut is rotationally coupled to a shaft of the attachment post and has an internal threading adapted to be threaded to the external threading of the socket. When the tightening nut is rotated to cause the distal portion of the post to be further inserted into the recess, the sides of the distal portion of the post create an interference fit with the sides of the socket recess to lock the post to the first clamp.

  • Patent number: 4732964
    Abstract: This invention relates to a hot melt adhesive which is particularly useful for securing textile substrates together. The hot melt adhesives of this invention are crystallizable copolyesters which are comprised of repeat units which are derived from terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and hexamethylene glycol. They normally have melting points within the range of about 95.degree. C. to about 125.degree. C. and glass transition temperatures within the range of about 0.degree. C. to about 10.degree. C. This invention is also related to a process for securing substrates to one another by utilizing such hot melt adhesives.
