Patent EP-0144574-B1 (EP)
IPC: A61F2/32
Filed: 1984-09-14
Granted: 1989-08-16
Abstract: A hip endoprosthesis for mounting in a distally tapering recess that opens at the proximal end of a femur has a nonmetallic sheath imbedded in the recess so as to be generally integral with the femur and having an inner surface with a distally tapering proximal portion and a uniform-section distal portion. A ball shaped to fit into an acetabulum is carried on a neck in turn formed unitarily of metal with the ball with a stem engaged in the sheath and having an outer surface with a proximal portion complementary to and tightly fitted in the proximal surface portion of the sheath surface and a distal portion slidable in the distal surface portion of the sheath surface. Thus relative motion of the proximal surface portions is impossible but relative sliding motion of the distal surface portions is possible. The main load is transmitted directly to the head of the femur, where it is normally applied, and the transverse load is transmitted through the sliding joint to a more distal portion of the femur, where this type of load is also normally received.

Abstract: This invention relates to a folding child's bed comprising a respective upper and lower frame, each being about horizontal and foldable. The frames are connected via diagonal struts which are variable with respect to their length, said diagonal struts being substantially parallel to each other and shortened when the child's bed is folded up. When the child's bed is used, they are obliquely disposed from the center portion of the upper frame to the outer portion of the lower frame and completely extended. To make handling of such a child's bed easier and, in particular, to make telescoping of the diagonal struts possible without any jamming, the diagonal struts comprise upper and lower struts disposed respectively in spaced and parallel relationship with each other and comprising at the joints thereof sliding guides which are provided on the struts and in which the struts are displaceably supported with respect to each other and are securable against displacement in the extended state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-hydrated bentonite intimately contacted with a polypropene, polybutene, or mixtures thereof to provide a formable and shapable non-aqueous bentonite composition particularly useful as a water barrier. The bentonite composition can be extruded in the form of a rope, rod, sheet or the like and is sufficiently tacky for adherence to a wall or conduit, floor or roof in areas of potential water flow to prevent the seepage of water through the bentonite composition. In one embodiment, the bentonite composition includes a polypropene and a polybutene and an elastomer, such as butyl rubber having sufficient resilience to stretch or expand with the expanding bentonite upon hydration and to aid in maintaining the structural integrity and cohesiveness of the composition. In another embodiment, the composition comprises bentonite, an elastomer, and any platicizer compatible with the elastomer.

Abstract: This invention relates to snack products; and more particularly to a method for controlling the shape of fried snack products. In one embodiment of this invention, novel sheeted snack products are fried to form products of a similar curved shape with an appearance as if the products as a group were made at random. The novel shapes are imparted to the products irrespective of their overall size and without contact from mechanical shaping devices during frying. A preferred fried snack product is made from two adherent sheets of dissimilar potato-based dough controlled during frying to produce novel potato snacks resembling curved sections of a baked potato. These fried snack products are referred to herein as "potato skin snacks". Another embodiment of the invention related to use of a flexible bristle dockering brush for perforating the dough before frying to prevent distortion such as puffing when the dough pieces are fried.

Abstract: Previously belts, drag chains or screw feeders have been used to discharge a bulk material, such as wood pulp and the like, from a storage bin or hopper at the required rate. A problem with such feeders is obtaining uniform withdrawal of material from the full area of the bin, as typically some areas of the bin remain stagnant, and further there may be areas of consolidation and compaction of the bulk material against the walls of the bin. The present invention overcomes these problems by providing a discharge feeder in which an opening (11) of selected width travels back and forth uniformly under the bin outlet (12). By a system of belts (15,18) and pulleys (17,19), the surface of the feeder in contact with the bulk materials (13) remains stationary with respect to the materials, while the opening itself traverses the length of the bin, allowing an uniform non-consolidating feed of the bulk materials.
