US Patent:

46620923, May 5, 1987

Filed:

Aug 1, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/761554

Inventors:

Han K. Kim - Elmhurst NY

International Classification:

G09F 112

US Classification:

40155

Abstract:

A metallic picture frame construction including corner frame elements which connect rectilinear segments in an attractive manner in which the interconnecting screws are concealed from view. The corner elements surround the ends of the rectilinear segments, and they are maintained in engagement solely by compressive forces exerted by the screws making unnecessary the drilling of holes in the rectilinear members. The invention has application to wood rectilinear segments as well, using wood screws which penetrate the corner elements and the rectilinear segments.

Appl. No.:

6/751516

Inventors:

Han K. Kim - Elmhurst NY

International Classification:

B25B 2308

US Classification:

81452

Abstract:

A plurality of devices are disclosed for supporting threaded screws in a plane normal to a surface into which the screws are threaded. Each embodiment includes means for supporting the shank of the screw at points intermediate the ends thereof rather than only at the head thereof. The means is resiliently expandable to permit passage of the head of the screw past the supporting means for disengagement of the device after the screw has obtained substantial threaded purchase with an engaged structure.

International Classification:

A61B 17/70
A61B 17/86

Abstract:

A spinal fixation construct for aligning vertebral bodies includes a bone screw, a spinal rod, a flexible member, and a fixation member. The spinal rod is disposed within a saddle portion of a housing of the bone screw, and includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end. The spinal rod is formed from a first material having a first modulus of elasticity. The flexible member is coupled to the spinal rod, and includes an elongated body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The flexible member is formed from a second material having a second modulus of elasticity that is different from the first modulus of elasticity. The fixation member includes a threaded body portion and a head portion defining a hole therethrough. A portion of the flexible member extends through the hole of the head portion.

Abstract:

A transverse connector includes a cross member connecting assembly, and first and second spinal rod connection members rotatably coupled to opposing end portions of the cross member connecting assembly. The cross member connecting assembly includes a first band slot defined therethrough and a threaded opening extending through an upper surface of the cross member connecting assembly and into the first band slot. The cross member connecting assembly includes a band set screw threadingly engaged with the threaded opening and movable relative to the first band slot.

International Classification:

A61B 17/70
A61B 17/04
A61B 17/88

Abstract:

A system for securing a flexible member to a vertebra includes a flexible member, a fixation member, and an inserter. The flexible member includes two ends. The fixation member includes a head and a shank that defines a longitudinal axis of the fixation member. The head defines a slot that passes through the head orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The slot receives a portion of the flexible member. The inserter includes a handle and a tubular member that has proximal and distal end portion. The proximal end portion is attached to the handle and the distal end portion extends from the handle. The tubular member defines a passage between the proximal and distal end portions. The distal end portion includes a couple for receiving the head of the fixation member with the portion of the flexible member received in the slot of the flexible member.
