Title: Device for mechanical alignment of bone screws in a medullary nail
Inventor: FACCIOLI GIOVANNI
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 1995-07-12
Granted: 1998-02-12
Abstract: A blind-hole locating system wherein a drill jig, which is to be removably attached to the proximal end of a given intramedullary nail, incorporates outrigger structure for support and orientation of one or more drill guides, such that positioning and alignment with one or more bone-screw holes of the nail can be checked and ascertained as a preliminary step, and such that a precise spacer or stabilizer carried by this jig can be known to contact the nail, on an alignment transverse to the nail and to a geometric plane which includes the nail axis and the axis of at least one of the bone-screw holes of the nail, such stabilizer contact being achieved only for the case of correct drill-guide alignment with one or more bone-screw holes. Having thus ascertained that the spacer correctly identifies drill-guide alignment with bone-screw holes, it is only necessary, after installing the nail and connecting the jig to the proximal end of the nail, to make a small local surgical incision through flesh and bone sufficient to enable direct stabilizer contact with the nail, whereupon it is known that the drill guides are in correctly drillable alignment with the targeted bone-screw holes of the installed nail. Drilling and setting of bone screws can immediately proceed in customary manner.

Granted: 2004-01-15
Abstract: An operating mechanism for an autorecloser provides an improved form of mechanical interlock between the circuit breaker element (3) of an autorecloser and a disconnector (2) in electrical series with it A shaft (82) transmits linear motion between the circuit breaker's moveable contact and the profile of a bell crank (50), the bell crank being attached to a link (70) for manual rotation of the bell crank and also to a link (60) for moving a moveable contact (20) of the disconnector between CLOSED and OPEN positions. The geometry of the bell crank profile and linkages is such that when the bell crank is rotated clockwise through an angle X from a starting position in which the moveable contacts of both the circuit breaker and the disconnector are in the CLOSED position, the moveable contact of the circuit breaker is moved to an OPEN position while the moveable contact (20) of the disconnector is maintained CLOSED. During further clockwise rotation of the bell crank (50) through a further set angle Z to a predetermined limit of movement of the bell crank, the moveable contact (20) of the disconnector is moved to an OPEN position while the moveable contact of the circuit breaker is maintained in the OPEN position by a sector of the bell crank profile (59) which is of constant radius R2. When the bell crank (50) is rotated back to its starting position, the moveable contact (20) of the disconnector is moved back to its CLOSED position before the moveable contact of the circuit breaker is moved back to its CLOSED position.
