Inventor: O'BRIEN DENNIS
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 2004-07-30
Abstract: A cutting balloon for use in a PTCA atherectomy procedure includes an elongated balloon that defines a longitudinal axis and is inflatable from a first deflated configuration to a second radially expanded configuration. One or more incising elements are mounted on the inflatable balloon. Compressible sheaths made of a relatively low durometer, flexible material are mounted on the balloon to protect the operative cutting surface of a respective incising element during assembly of the cutting balloon and transit of the cutting balloon to the treatment site. Each sheath extends farther from the longitudinal axis than the corresponding incising element and makes first contact with the tissue during a balloon inflation. Once contact has been established between the tissue and the sheath, further balloon inflation causes the sheath to radially compress between the tissue and the inflatable balloon exposing the operative cutting surface for tissue incision.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a cosmetic container with a cover adapted to rotate on a gentle pace, in which it is realized to improve operability for opening and closing the cover with use of a hook mechanism. 
     [Solution] A case body 2 is provided with a cover 9 which opens from and closes against the case body 2. The cover 9 includes a hinge boss 12 rotatably attached to the case body 2 through a hinge pin 13. On the opposite side of the hinge pin 13 is provided a hook mechanism 7 with which the cover 9 is engaged with the case body 2 to form a closed state. The case body 2 is further provided with a pressure member 27 which contacts and presses to the hinge boss 12 to reduce the rotation speed of the hinge boss 12. The hinge boss 12 is provided with a radius reduction portion 31 which is formed by that the outer dimension of the hinge boss 12 is reduced gradually as the cover is getting closer to its full-opened position in order to weaken a frictional contact function with the pressure member 27. The frictional contact between the pressure member 27 and the hinge boss 12 is generated at a position apart from the line drawn between the hinge pin 13 and the hook mechanism 7. The radius reduction portion 31 is formed to start at where the cover has been opened to reach a position of 90 degrees from its closed position, and spread to the cover's full-opened position.
