The invention relates to an implant that replaces tendons, especially the interior cruciate ligament of the knee. The inventive implant comprises a first (10) and a second (12) base from spongy and/or cortical and/or cortical/spongy bone material of human or animal origin, linked via a flexible collagen strip (14) and adapted to be fixed in a corresponding implant seat by pressing.

Implant comprises a peripheral collar (4) formed in the corner region of the distal end of the implant core (1). An independent claim is also included for a process for the production of the implant. Preferred Features: The collar is arranged below an angle alpha to the implantation axis and is diameter (D) is matched to the final outer contour of the implant. Cut-outs are arranged in the contour of the collar. The collar has a closed ring contour.

An injection molding tool (10) for producing disc shaped moldings comprises primary and secondary plates (11,12) arranged opposite each other, which can move relative to each other to open and close the mould, and a mould ring (20). The latter surrounds the primary plate concentrically, closes off the injection mould (25) at the outer edge, and can move relative to the primary plate. An injection molding tool (10) for producing disc shaped moldings, especially in the form of information carriers such as CD's and/or DVD's, comprises primary and secondary plates (11,12) arranged opposite each other, which can move relative to each other to open and close the mould, and a mould ring (20). The latter surrounds the primary plate concentrically, closes off the injection mould (25) at the outer edge, and can move relative to the primary plate. A tempering arrangement (26) for the mould ring is located in the ring, and tempering can be carried out electrically or by use of a tempering medium. The tempering arrangement is in the form of a channel, and a tempering medium can be supplied to it via a connection. A second arrangement (28) is used to blow the finished molding over its peripheral region after the mould has been opened.

Osteosynthesis device, particularly for the spine by means of internal implantation, comprising firstly one or more bars (2) used to support or move the spine, and secondly at least one implant (3) connecting the bars and the vertebrae, said implant comprising firstly bone anchorage means attached to the body of said implant and secondly fixation means for said bars, said fixation being carried out by clamping means (31) clamping said bar against the internal walls (320) of a channel (32), with an opening, formed in said body of the implant (3), characterised in that said bars comprise a transversal bearing surface (21) on at least part of their length, said transversal bearing surface being produced by a cross-section of said bars comprising at least one part of lower or opposed convexity in relation to the rest of said cross-section, and in that the axis of the clamping means is merged with or parallel to the symmetrical axis of the bone anchorage means of the body, and the clamping means comprise a surface (310) which is adapted to the transversal bearing surface (21) of the bar (2),the contact surface, between the bar and surface (310) of the clamping means or the internal wall (320) of the channel (32), being adapted to allow to carry out a rotation or transversal shift of the bar to adjust the transversal position and the angular position of this bar on the body.

The present invention is in the field of multiple layer glass panels comprising a polymer sheet having desirable surface properties, and more specifically, the present invention is in the field of multiple layer glass panels comprising poly(vinyl butyral) having a finished surface of relatively low waviness and high roughness disposed in contact with poly(ethylene terephthalate) and/or other poly(vinyl butyral) type layers.

A device for preparing and ejecting polymeric cement made from at least two pre-packaged components comprises a tubular vessel including a first axial end wall having a closed outlet, and a second axial end wall having an aperture. A first starting component of the polymeric cement is present inside said tubular vessel near the first axial end wall. A hollow shaft extends through said aperture of the second axial end wall. A piston element comprises a closed container filled with a second starting component of the polymeric cement. The piston element is selectively lockable to the shaft. The container has a bore and is slidingly engaged upon said shaft. An agitator element is secured to one end of the shaft. Furthermore opening means for providing an opening in the closed container are provided. The hollow shaft is provided with a gas permeable filter means.

The invention concerns a device (1) for manipulating tools comprising two parts, said device being of the type consisting of a frame and at least one tray forming a table, designed to receive the mold. The invention is characterized in that it comprises two horizontally arranged trays (6, 9-7, 8) one of which is arranged sliding on the frame to be mobile in translation relative to the other tray, from a close position to a remote position and inversely, so as to enable the tool to be manually opened and closed.

The present invention relates to a mobile joint ( 1 ) with spring resistance, suitable for a sitting device, comprising a first and a second joint element ( 10, 20 ), which are pivotally connected by a shaft ( 3 ), to allow tilting of the sitting device caused by the displacement of the users weight, comprising a first and a second parallel plate spring ( 18, 19 ) with first and second ends, with an intermediate blocking element ( 11 ), wherein each plate spring ( 18, 19 ) in the first end are connected to the first joint element ( 10 ), and in the second end are glidingly abutting the second joint element ( 20 ), the first and second plate spring ( 18, 19 ) each having an axis of rotation that is displaced in relation to each other and the shaft ( 3 ).

The invention relates to an adhesive composition which is suitable for use on a shaped part of polyester, in particular a polyester film, and comprises a copolyester, optionally in combination with light-sensitive substances, fillers and pigments, whereby the copolyester additionally contains at least one copolymer of vinylidene chloride, preferably in a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 1:1. The adhesive composition can furthermore contain cellulose acyl esters, such as low molecular-weight cellulose acetobutyrate or cellulose propionate. Polybasic oxycarboxylic acids and levelling agents can also be present. The adhesive composition can be employed in mixtures with, for example, light-sensitive lacquer systems.
