Inventor: WHITMAN MICHAEL P
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne un instrument chirurgical, qui comprend une première mâchoire présentant une extrémité distale et une seconde mâchoire présentant une extrémité distale. La seconde mâchoire, homologue de la première mâchoire, est placée en face de cette dernière. La première mâchoire est articulée à la seconde mâchoire. L'instrument chirurgical comprend également un élément de sollicitation, tel qu'un ressort, qui entraîne l'extrémité distale de la première mâchoire vers l'extrémité distale de la seconde mâchoire. L'instrument peut également comprendre un premier organe de commande disposé dans la seconde mâchoire et relié à la première mâchoire. Le premier organe de commande est configuré pour provoquer la séparation de la première mâchoire et de la seconde mâchoire lorsque la première mâchoire est actionnée pour ouvrir les mâchoires, et pour fermer la première mâchoire et la seconde mâchoire lorsque le premier organe de commande est actionné pour fermer les mâchoires. L'instrument peut aussi comprendre au moins un élément tranchant et un élément d'agrafage disposés à l'intérieur de la seconde mâchoire, de préférence une lame rotative montée sur un coin. Un second organe de commande est configuré pour déplacer l'élément tranchant et/ou l'élément d'agrafage vers la partie proximale, de l'extrémité distale à l'extrémité proximale de la seconde mâchoire, afin au moins de couper et agrafer un segment de tissu disposé entre la première et la seconde mâchoires. En sollicitant les extrémités distales de la première et de la seconde mâchoires l'une vers l'autre, l'instrument chirurgical peut empêcher qu'un segment de tissu, disposé entre la première et la seconde mâchoires, s'échappe de sa position entre les extrémités distales de la première et de la seconde mâchoires.

Abstract: A trip indicator of a circuit breaker is set to the tripped position through engagement by the cradle, which is unlatched by the trip mechanism.  Even though the cradle is automatically reset by a reset spring, the trip member indicator is retained in the tripped position by an indicator spring. The trip indicator member is returned to the untripped position by a reset member on the circuit breaker operating member as the latter is rotated by the circuit breaker handle to the ON  position. The trip indicating member is transversely displaced through an out of round pivot mount as the operating member is rotated to the off position before the cradle unlatches when the circuit breaker blows open in response to a short circuit.
