Title: Device for rotational stabilization of bone segments
Inventor: KAUFMANN JOSEF PETER
IPC: A61B17/74
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: A device for rotational stabilization of bone segments comprising a bone plate (10), a bone lag screw (18), and a locking collar (50). The bone lag screw (18) has a bone-engagement end (20), a distal end, and a keyed cross-sectional profile (32), the bone-engagement end (20) configured for engaging a first bone segment. The bone plate (10) has a flat portion (12) for engaging a second bone segment and a barrel portion (14) having an internal bore for slidably receiving the lag screw (18). The locking collar (50) has a keyed internal profile (21) that mates with the keyed cross- sectional profile (32) of the lag screw (18) to rotationally couple the locking collar (50) and the lag screw (18) when the lag screw (18) is inserted through the locking (collar50) , and an outer surface configured and dimensioned for free rotation, in a first position, within the internal bore (16) of the bone plate barrel portion (14) and frictionally engaging, in a second position, the internal bore (16) of the bone plate barrel portion (14) to resist or prevent rotation of the collar (50) relative to the bone plate (10), and thereby resist or prevent rotation of the lag screw (18) relative to the bone plate (10). The frictional engagement is achieved by a deformation of the distal end (56) of the locking collar (50) within the internal bore (16) of the bone plate (10). This deformation is achieved by the application of force to the collar in the proximal direction.

Abstract: The roller bar chains of a continuous press for producing pressed board provided sufficient play for the roller bars relative to the link chains by having the journaling pins for the link chains extending through bushings which articulate the overlapping link plates together, so that the outer diameters of the pins within these bushings are less than the inner diameters of the bushings. The result is that the roller bar chain has only a single guide plane in the press region between the two press plates.
