Patent EP-1305202-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RUEHL PHILIP C
IPC: B62D21/02
Filed: 2001-07-30
Abstract: A multi-piece siderail is fabricated for use as a truck frame (10) which has potential cost and weight reductions while also providing superior weight loading characteristics. Each section of the multi-piece siderail (12, 14) includes a webbed portion (112, 114) having longitudinal ribs (124, 125) that form alternating protruding and recessed sections. An upper and a lower flange (116, 118) are provided on each section and each flange is formed with a stepped, lipped configuration. The unique structure of each section provides increased rigidity and support to that section and also allows for a nesting arrangement between each of the three components. Furthermore, this structure provides multiple attachment zones throughout the frame -- two zones on each flange and three zones on the front and rear section webs and five zones on the center section web. Each of these attachment zones are surrounded by a work hardened corner to provide reinforcement. To further increase strength and provide for sound joints, a support member is inserted between the middle component, which is often deeper, and the front and rear components. Specifically, the support member, having a Z-shaped cross-section, is inserted between the lower portions of the respective deep and shallow sections. Thus, a multi-piece siderail can be utilized in truck frame applications, allowing for reduced weight and reduced over all production costs, while providing superior performance characteristics such as greater payload and/or better fuel economy. The design also allows for potential section commonality and flexibility in assembly.

IPC: A61B17/60
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: A spinal implant assembly comprises a connection assembly, an elongated spinal implant, and a bone fastener, such as a bone screw, engaged within a vertebra. The connection assembly includes a body defining a first opening for receiving the elongated spinal implant, a second opening for receiving a bone fastener and a plug. The first opening is perpendicular to and overlapping the second opening to allow direct contact between the spinal implant and the bone fastener. The second opening includes a plug slot having a wall at an end opposite the first opening that defines an engagement surface. The plug includes a mating surface that forms an interlocking engagement with the engagement surface of the wall. An opposite second surface of the plug defines a groove for receiving the elongated stem of the bone fastener adjustable to a desired angular orientation and height. The body can include a first and a second side walls converging toward the center of the second opening with a gap to receive the stem of the bone fastener. The connection assembly further comprises means for urging the elongated spinal implant to press against the bone fastener and the plug which, subsequently, is pressed against the engagement surface of the wall.
