Claim 7:
8. The spinal implant of claim 7, wherein:
the first inclined contact surfaces of the first proximal ramps are inclined with respect to the first inside surface of the superior endplate and extend away from the first inside surface by a first inclined distance and the second inclined contact surfaces of the second proximal ramps are inclined with respect to the second inside surface of the inferior endplate and extend away from the second inside surface by a second inclined distance,
the third inclined contact surfaces of the first distal ramps are inclined with respect to the first inside surface of the superior endplate and extend away from the first inside surface by a third inclined distance and the fourth inclined contact surfaces of the second distal ramps are inclined with respect to the second inside surface of the inferior endplate and extend away from the second inside surface by a second inclined distance, and
the first inclined distance is greater than the third inclined distance and the second inclined distance is greater than the fourth inclined distance thereby facilitating adjustment of the angle of inclination between the superior and inferior endplates upon rotating the first set screw along the rotation axis.
