Filed:

Sep 13, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/581798

Inventors:

Douglas R. Zegel - Moorestown NJ
Gary S. Jensen - Drexel Hill PA
Mark R. Hernick - Prospect Park PA
Michael J. Daniels - Doylestown PA

Assignee:

Art Guild, Inc. - West Deptford NJ

International Classification:

E04H 100

US Classification:

52239

Abstract:

A wall system is comprised of wall frame components and wall covering components. The wall frame components include a pair of space vertical supports and an array of selectively spaced cross membes spanning between and rigidly attached to the vertical supports. Pinch bars, designed to matingly engage the frame cross members are mounted on wall covering components in a matching spaced array. The wall covering components are secured to the wall frame component by matingly engaging the pinch bars with the cross member supports. The wall frames include locking connectors such that vertical supports of multiple frame components are serially locked together to form a wall system of any desired floor plan configuration. An infinitely variable hinge frame corner connector and a universal medial connector facilitate the construction of non-linear and/or complex floor plan configurations.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of alignment for resection of tissue including obtaining a surgical device comprising an alignment guide, a first guide structure and a second guide structure; securing the alignment guide to a bone, the alignment guide including a positioning block; placing the first guide structure onto the positioning block of the alignment guide; viewing a target location of a first resection plane on the bone using the first guide structure; adjusting the target location of the first resection plane by adjusting a position of the first guide structure; attaching the second guide structure to the first guide structure; viewing a target location of a second resection plane on the bone using the second guide structure; and adjusting the target location of the second resection plane by adjusting a position of the second guide structure.

Abstract:

One aspect of the present invention relates to a tissue resection guide that includes a central body, a first flange and a second flange, the flanges having first and second guide surfaces, respectively, suitable for use in tissue resection. Each guide surface lies on a cutting plane, both planes intersecting interior to the flanges. In the embodiments described, the availability of two cutting planes ensures resections in more than one plane are possible. As a result, bone segments can be removed via a cut on two planes without the need to cut across an entire section of bone on one plane. In some embodiments, an opening exists between the first flange and the second flange to ensure that each resection overlaps. In other aspects of the invention, systems and methods of use for the tissue resection guide are described.
