Appl. No.:

09/978874

Inventors:

Sean McClain - Havertown PA
Terry W. Louth - Narvon PA
Kenneth J. Neeld - West Chester PA
Richard J. Werner - Shoreview MN

Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA

International Classification:

H05K 116

US Classification:

174260, 29832, 361760

Abstract:

A fastener assembly and method are provided to engage a component to a circuit board assembly having a circuit board and a retainer positioned adjacent the circuit board. The fastener assembly comprises an elongated member extending between proximal and distal ends. The member includes a proximal portion having threads, and a distal portion having threads configured to engage the retainer of the circuit board assembly. A shoulder is spaced from the distal end of the member, and is configured to contact a surface of the retainer and to limit the travel of the distal end of the member toward the circuit board. The distance between the distal end and the shoulder of the member is equal to or more preferably less than the distance between the surface of the retainer and the circuit board, thereby reducing or eliminating interference between the distal end of the member and the circuit board. The fastener assembly also comprises a fastener adapted to engage the threads of the proximal portion of the member. The fastener is configured to engage the component to the circuit board assembly.

Appl. No.:

8/489890

Inventors:

Richard S. Werner - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61B 1732

US Classification:

606167

Abstract:

A retractable "ball-pen" like tool/scalpel, provided with a latch mechanism, is automatically retracted when not in use by pushing the latch mechanism and is extended when in use by pushing a tool/blade support member of the tool/scalpel. The latch mechanism is engaged with the tool/blade support member when the tool/blade support member is pushed to an operative position wherein a tool/blade is exposed from a sheath member. The latch mechanism is pushed transversely and disengaged with the tool/blade support member whereby the tool/scalpel is retracted into the sheath member.

The latch mechanism is engaged with the tool/blade support member when the tool/blade support member is pushed to an operative position wherein a tool/blade is exposed from a sheath member. The latch mechanism is pushed transversely and disengaged with the tool/blade support member whereby the tool/scalpel is retracted into the sheath member. A key member having a post is mounted on a back end of the sheath member. The post and the latch mechanism prevent the key member from falling out of the back end of the sheath member. Almost all the parts of the tool/scalpel can be made of plastic materials.

Inventors:

Richard S. Werner - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61B 1732

US Classification:

606167

Abstract:

A retractable "ball-pen" like tool/scalpel, provided with a latch mechanism, is automatically retracted when not in use by pushing the latch mechanism and is extended when in use by pushing a tool/blade support member of the tool/scalpel. An enlarged section of the latch mechanism is matched and engaged with an enlarged slot portion of the tool/blade support member when the tool/blade support member is pushed to an operative position wherein a tool/blade is exposed from a sheath member. The enlarged section of the latch mechanism is pushed transversely and disengaged with the enlarged slot portion of the tool/blade support member, the tool/blade support member is forced back to an inoperative position wherein the tool/scalpel is retracted into the sheath member.

Appl. No.:

16/786508

Inventors:

Richard S. Werner - Minneapolis MN, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/3211

Abstract:

A self-locking retractable surgical knife including a sheath member having front and rear ends, and a retractable member including a support member and a blade supported by the support member. The support member has a front end, a rear end and an elongated interior space. The retractable member is partially disposed in the sheath member and telescopically received in the sheath member for movement between a guarded position wherein the blade is guarded in the sheath member, and an exposed position wherein the blade extends out of the sheath member. The self-locking retractable further includes a biasing member disposed in the interior space of the support member and a latch member disposed in the interior space of the support member.
