摘要:
An interlocking thread with a tooth-cross-section that is wider at its crest than at its root and with “V” angles located both along the crest and the root which tightens into a tapped hole that has a similar thread cross-section.
摘要:
An orthopedic stabilization structure including a threaded fastener capable of articulation to accommodate various skeletal geometries, a rod, and a cup supporting the threaded fastener and the rod to be subsequently held in fixed position with respect to the skeletal structure.
摘要:
An orthopedic fastener having compressive forces along the direction of the long axis of the fastener and radially inwardly directed forces towards the center of the fastener to draw in a bone providing an improved structure for uniting a fractured bone.
摘要:
A work holder for internal combustion engine heads in which an upper platen is adapted to be fixedly retained vis-a-vis an underlying platen so that an operator can contact the head operatively coupled to the upper platen for work thereon for crack repair.
摘要:
An orthopedic structure includes a method for making a threaded fastener with thread geometry and leading edge geometry which provides greater precision during installation. Specifically, thread pitch and tooth profiles are independently variable. A leading portion of the fastener advances bone shards forward of the forward of the fastener to reduce insertion torque and prevent the shards from residing in the upstream tooth profile for better retention.

A method and apparatus for repairing a casting in a cold metal repair process includes a plurality of drilling fixtures which facilitate the creation of one or more lock receiving recesses positioned generally transverse to the casting crack. The lock receiving recesses are formed of a single sized circular bore combination having alternating double and single circular portions to maximize strength. A plurality of correspondingly configured metal locks are inserted into the lock receiving recesses to provide transverse metal locks drawing the casting portions on each side of the crack together. A plurality of threaded bores are formed along the remainder of the casting crack in overlapping spacing which receive a corresponding plurality of stitching pins. The stitching pins each define threaded shaft portions having pointed ends and undersized major pitch diameter threads adjacent the pointed ends. A frusto-conical shoulder is formed on the opposite end of the threaded shaft and a break off drive head is coupled to the frustro-conical shoulder by a break off groove structure. When the stitching pins are inserted into their respective threaded bores, the undersized major pitch thread portions facilitate the threading the pin into the threaded bores. The pointed ends of the stitching pins provide complete filling of the threaded bores while the frustro-conical shoulder portions are operative to crush the first few threads of the threaded bores to enhance the seal obtained.
摘要:
A progressive (variable) pitch, interlocking thread with a tooth cross-section that is wider at its crest than at its root which creates radial clamping action when tightened into a tapped hole that has a similar thread cross-section.
摘要:
An insert for thread repair having an interior thread and a specially formed exterior thread which both precludes upheaval between sides of the cracked material on opposite sides of the crack and draws the crack together, radially inward towards the center of the insert. The insert may include a driving head, either solid or having a central hollow and may include a frangible neck to dissociate the head from the insert.
摘要:
The following invention relates to a drill bit that will drill a round and precisely sized hole when using a hand-held drill motor. The bit has a unique multi-angle lip relief that cuts faster than a standard drill bit and stays sharp longer as well.
