Definitions

  • the White patent discloses that opening and closing movement of the handles is accomplished by adjustment of a screw (i.e., pin) that joins the handles. Only allowing opening and closing movement of the handles by means of a screw creates unnecessary delay in adjusting the clamp before surgery, readjusting the clamp during surgery, if necessary, and releasing the clamp after surgery because a screw driver is apparently needed to adjust the screw. Such a delay before, during and after a surgical procedure is undesirable.
  • a screw i.e., pin
  • the hand tool also comprises a coupler assembly including an upper coupler and a lower coupler.
  • the upper coupler includes an articulating upper heim joint and the lower coupler includes an articulating lower heim joint.
  • the upper heim joint is connected to the upper handle member and the lower heim joint is connected to the lower handle member.
  • the upper and lower heim joints are each provided with threaded shanks for threadably engaging their respective upper and lower handle members. In this manner, the upper and lower heim joints are fixedly attached to their respective upper and lower handle members.
  • the work tool further comprises a locking assembly to secure said upper handle assembly and said lower handle assembly pivotally together to facilitate pivotal movement between said upper handle assembly and said lower handle assembly, and wherein said locking assembly includes a locking pin to permanently secure together said upper handle assembly and said lower handle assembly and to facilitate pivotal movement between said upper handle assembly and said lower handle assembly.
  • lower rounded or curved end portion 1050b of leaf spring 1040 is mounted within a lower handle member cutout 1060 by a mounting or spring pin indicated generally at 1070.
  • Cutout 1060 is disposed at an inner rearward surface area of lower handle member 1030 in a manner that allows leaf spring 1040 to be disposed at an inclined angle between upper handle member 1020 and lower handle member 1030.
  • the opposite end of leaf spring 1040 which terminates in upper straight portion 1050a, permits the opposite or upper straight portion 1050a to rest in engagement with an inner surface area of upper handle member 1020.
  • upper heim joint 1100 comprises an annular upper casing 1160 integrally attached to upper shank portion 1120.
  • Upper casing 1160 defines an opening 1165 there through for reasons provided herein below.
  • upper casing 1160 may have a generally spherical interior (not shown) contoured for slidably, matingly receiving a spherical upper ball swivel 1170, such that upper ball swivel 1170 is slidably retained within upper casing 1160.
  • Upper ball swivel 1170 defines an upper ball hole 1180 (see FIG. 6 ) centrally there through for reasons provided herein below.
  • upper ball swivel 1170 is capable of multi-directional, slidable movement within upper casing 1160.
  • upper ball swivel 1170 is capable of side-to-side, rotational, or swivel movement in the horizontal x-axis plane as illustrated by directional arrow 1182 (see FIG. 1 ).
  • upper ball swivel 1170 is capable of tilting movement in the y-axis plane as illustrated by directional arrow 1184 (see FIGS. 1 and 5A ) as well as tilting movement in the x-axis plane as illustrated by directional arrow 1186 (see FIG. 1 ).
  • Lower tool member 1610 includes a hole 1625 for reasons provided herein below.
  • the upper ball 2555 is provided with an integrally connected threaded shank 2556 which is dimensioned to be threadably attached within a threaded opening 2648 disposed in the upper blade assembly 2645.
  • the proximal ends PE of the respective handle members 2470 and 2480 separate from one another ( FIG. 26 ).
  • the blade assembly 2645 is pulled by its non-blade bearing end upwardly pivoting about a pivot pin 2620 to allow the upper blade 2650 to move in an opposite direction downwardly to make contact with the lower blade 2640.
  • the blades 2640 and 2650 make contact when they come into alignment precisely with each other to cut a work object imposed between the blades 2640 and 2650, respectively.
  • the lower blade assembly 2630 and its associated blade 2640 are interconnected to the lower handle member 2480 in substantially the same manner as the upper blade assembly 2645 to impart a force to move the lower blade 2640 toward the upper blade 2650 to cut the work object imposed between the blades 2640 and 2650, respectively.
  • the component parts and assemblies forming the complete lower tool handle assembly 3014 generally include a lower coupler assembly indicated generally at 2570 and a lower blade assembly 2630 which is carried by the lower coupler assembly 2570.
  • the lower blade assembly 2630 is moveable about first and second orientation planes which includes rotational or swivel movement in the second orientation plane, as more particularly illustrated by directional arrows 2577, as best seen in FIG. 21 , and in and out movements in the first orientation plane which in and out movements are relative to the proximal end (PE) of the lower handle member 2480.
