Title: Locking chuck
Inventor: YAKSICH THEODORE G
IPC: B23B31/12
Filed: 2007-06-04
Abstract: The chuck 10 includes a cylindrical body 14 and a plurality of jaws 24 moveably disposed with respect to the body in communication with the body's axial bore 32. A cylindrical sleeve 18 is rotatably mounted about the body in operative communication with the jaws. Rotation of the sleeve in a closing direction moves the jaws towards the axial bore and rotation in an opening direction moves the jaws away from the axial bore. A bearing has a first race 116 adjacent the body, a second race 110 adjacent the sleeve and at least one bearing element 114 between them. One of the first race and the second race defines a ratchet. The other of the first race and the second race defines a pawl 124 biased toward the ratchet. The ratchet and pawl are configured so that when the pawl engages the ratchet, the second race is prevented from rotating in the opening direction with respect to the first race. The cylindrical sleeve is movable between a first and a second axial position, the first axial position serving to rotationally immobilize the sleeve with respect to the body, and the second axial position allowing the sleeve to rotate freely with respect to the body.

Title: An acetabular shell system and method for making
Inventor: KUMAR MUKESH
IPC: B05D1/08
Filed: 2006-03-03
Abstract: A method for forming an acetabular shell includes providing a working surface such as a mandrel, and spraying the working surface with a first layer of material having a first composition such as aluminum oxide. After a suitable thickness is generated, the spray composition is gradually changed to other compositions having desired particle sizes and distribution. In one example, the composition is changed to a mixture of aluminum oxide and titanium oxide and/or titanium. As thickness builds up, the relative amount of aluminum oxide is decreased such that the composition is all titanium and titanium oxide. After a desired thickness is generated, the acetabular shell is extracted off the mandrel.
