Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention comprises two legs joined at a bridge portion and having respective gripping jaws facing each other at their free ends; An applicator for a C-shaped clip having a rearwardly projecting working surface in the area where the bridges meet and a laterally projecting edge area connected to the working surface, the applicator acting on the working surface of the scalp clip. The present invention relates to an applicator for a C-shaped scalp clip comprising two actuators which are made to do so and move toward each other to open said scalp clip.

PRIOR ART Scalp clips and applicators for scalp clips of this type are known, for example, from US Pat. No. 3,604,425. A very conventional forceps-like tool is used to bend open the scalp clip described in this patent. The two branching elements of this tool bear against a rearwardly extending projection of the scalp clip, making it possible to open the scalp clip when the two branching elements are closed. However, only one scalp clip can be handled using this tool, and each scalp clip must be inserted separately into the applicator.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> An object of the present invention is to integrate multiple scalp clips into one applicator without requiring complicated insertion operations of multiple scalp clips into an applicator each time.
An object of the present invention is to improve an applicator for scalp clippers of a type that can be operated one after another in succession.

<Means for Solving the Problems> An object of the present invention is to provide a magazine for accommodating a plurality of scalp clips, in which a plurality of scalp clips are arranged one behind the other, so that one The free end of the scalp clip is in contact with the bridge of the adjacent scalp clip, the magazine is open at one end, and the free ends of both legs of the scalp clip are directed toward the open end. the plurality of clips are arranged, the plurality of clips being guided within the magazine for movement in the longitudinal direction of the magazine and moved towards the open end of the magazine by spring means; In a first position located in the magazine, the actuator is inserted into the magazine such that one scalp clip moved past the actuator abuts the actuator with a laterally projecting edge area that joins the actuator surface of the clip. projecting from above and below into the feeding track of the scalp clip at the open end of the actuator;
in position, the actuator abuts an actuating surface of the scalp clip held between the two actuators;
This is achieved by an applicator for a scalp clip of the type described above according to the invention, thereby opening the scalp clip.

The use of such a magazine allows a large number of scalp clips to be kept ready for use and allows the same applicator to be used without having to insert a new scalp clip into the device after each use. This allows multiple scalp clips to be used one after the other. A plurality of scalp clips stored one behind the other in the magazine are pushed one after another toward the actuating tool under the influence of the spring means. At the same time, the actuator is actuated to brake the forward movement of the leading scalp clip as soon as the leading scalp clip reaches the activated position so that the next time the actuator is moved, the scalp clip can be applied to the wound. Once used, the tool bends the scalp clip open, and the tissue gripped between the grasping jaws causes the scalp clip to be opened further than in its basic state. This means that the laterally projecting edge regions are close to each other. This makes it possible to remove the applicator from the scalp clip each time the scalp clip is used, i.e. to withdraw the scalp clip from between the actuators due to the small distance between the edge areas of the scalp clip. Make it.

Preferably, both legs of the scalp clip in the closed state are narrowed towards their free ends. This ensures that the scalp clip can enter between the actuators when the scalp clip is advanced until the laterally projecting edge area of the clip rests on the actuator.

In a preferred embodiment, one of the actuators is held immovably on the magazine. In this case, only other actuators are moved for the purpose of opening the scalp clip.

one actuator is mounted on the magazine for rotational movement about an axis extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the magazine and is rotated from the first position to the second position by actuating means; It is preferable if it is made so that it can be done.

Said actuating means thereby consist of two branching elements, the first branching element of which is fixed to the magazine, while the second branching element is pivotable relative to the first branching element; The rotatable branch element can be operatively coupled to the rotatable actuator.

A particularly preferred embodiment is such that the magazine is made in two parts, a front part containing the open end of the magazine and an actuator removably connected to a rear part containing a plurality of scalp clips. It is something that In this way, the rear part can be removed from the front part and a plurality of scalp clips can be inserted into the rear part to fill the magazine in a very simple manner. After the posterior section is filled with multiple scalp scraps, the posterior section is reconnected to the anterior section to form the complete applicator.

Preferably, the two parts of the magazine are fixedly connected in their respective positions using a removable flexible fixed connection. In this way the two parts can be removed from the other and reconnected in the simplest way possible.

In order to effectively open a plurality of scalp clips, the actuating tool may extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the magazine and have an edge that abuts the working surface of the scalp clip.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a slider is disposed movably within the magazine, the slider resiliently abutting the scalp clip within the magazine under the influence of spring means, thereby forcing the scalp clip to the open end. It is configured to be pushed toward the
In this connection, the slider is designed to be fixed in the retracted position, so that the magazine can be filled from the front.

A particularly preferred form is that the spring means is a coil spring arranged inside the slider, the free end of which is fixed to the magazine near the open end of the magazine. The coil spring has a tendency to coil itself, so that the coil spring exerts a biasing force on the slider to push the slider toward the spring's attachment point.

Preferably, the coil spring is designed as a leaf spring and rests against one wall of the magazine close to the scalp clip. This means that the space required by the leaf springs within the cross-sectional area of the magazine is minimal.

In each of the embodiments described so far, the spring force applied to the leading scalp clip when the actuator is improperly positioned causes the leading scalp clip to be pushed past the actuator. Falling out of the magazine may occur.

It is therefore a further object of the present invention to improve an applicator for scalp clips of this type in such a way that it is absolutely impossible for the scalp clip to be inadvertently forced out of the magazine.

This object of the invention is such that a retaining element is provided that is capable of entering into and exiting the feeding track of the scalp clip, and that the retaining element is located approximately the length of the scalp clip in front of the actuator. This is accomplished by a scalp clip applicator of the type described above, which holds the scalp clip immediately following the scalp clip gripped by the actuator.

This causes the next scalp clip that follows the scalp clip being gripped by the actuator to be pushed and advanced into the actuating area until the holding element is moved out of the scalp clip's feeding trajectory. You definitely won't be able to do that.

Holding elements are withdrawn from said feed track when the actuating tools are in their second position (actuated position), and holding elements are pulled out of said feed track when the actuating tools are in their first position (inactive position). It is particularly advantageous if the holding element is movable simultaneously with the actuating tool in order to penetrate.

Therefore, further forward movement of the scalp clips when the actuators are in their inactive position, i.e. when there is a great risk that the scalp clips will be pushed past the actuators in an undesirable manner, Movement will be automatically prevented. On the other hand, scalp clips cannot be inadvertently ejected from the magazine when the actuators are in their operative position. In this position of the actuator, the holding element of the preferred embodiment is thus withdrawn from the supply track. Nevertheless, further forward movement of subsequent scalp clips is prevented by the scalp clips gripped between the actuating tools, so that the next scalp clip can be pushed into the actuating area and advanced. There is no gender. In order to push the next succeeding scalp clip forward into the actuation zone, the actuators must be moved briefly into their second position (actuation position), whereupon they are immediately actuated. The scalp clip is released, so that the holding element is pulled out of the supply track within a short time. The scalp clip, which until then was held by the holding element, can then be slid over this holding element. However, the scalp clip is prevented from exiting the magazine by the actuator being moved into the activated position. This ensures that the actuator safely grips the new leading scalp clip.

It is particularly preferred if the holding element is fixedly connected to a movable actuator.

In particular, it is advantageous if a movable actuator and a holding element fixedly connected to the actuator are arranged on opposite sides of the magazine.

In a preferred embodiment, the holding element is pivotable about an axis extending transversely to the feeding track of the scalp clips within the magazine.

It is also advantageous if the holding element has a holding nose which rests on one of the laterally projecting working surfaces of the scalp clip when it enters into the clip feeding track.

EXAMPLES The following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings serves to understand the invention in more detail.

The applicator illustrated in the attached figures has a holder 1 with a stationary handle or branching element 2.
It consists of The second branching element 3 is the branching element 2
A screw 4 , which is pivotally connected to and fitted into both branch elements, serves to attach said second element 3 to said first branch element 1 . 2 leaf springs 5, 6
is arranged between the free ends of the two branching elements 2,3. These springs are attached at one end to the respective branching element, and at the other end of the spring, such that the two branching elements 2, 3 are moved apart by these two springs and can be pivoted bendably. are joined to each other.

The holder 1 has a mounting surface 7 on its upper side, on which a magazine 8 is placed. The magazine has a front section 9 and an elongated rear section 10. The front part has a U-shaped cross section, rests with its base 11 on the mounting surface 7 of the holder 1 and is fixedly connected to the holder, for example by two screws not shown in the drawings. Ru. Front part 9
Its free end is open and in this area the two side walls 12, 13 carry projecting lips 14, 15. These functions will be described later. A U-shaped bridge 16 is arranged above the open free end of the front part 9. Both arms 17 of this bridge 16 are placed against the outside of the side walls 12, 13 of the front part 9 and are fixed in position by screws 18. The two arms 17 of the bridge 16 are connected by a crosspiece 19, which at its front end has a downwardly curved tongue 20 whose free edge 21 is connected to the cutting edge of the magazine 8. It's slightly down on the face.

At the rear end of the front part 9, a U-shaped bracket 22 is configured to be rotatable about a horizontal axis.
placed on two side walls 12,13. The crosspiece 23 of this bracket passes below the holder 1. A lower actuator 24 is fixed to this crosspiece 23 and is arranged in the central longitudinal groove of the holder 1 which is open to the front. At the free end of the lower actuator 24, the lower actuator 24 has an upwardly projecting edge 25 which faces the edge 21 and which extends into the cross-section of the magazine 8 from below. It sticks out. The actuator 24 is provided with a bead 26 of circular cross section at the end opposite the edge 25, which bead 26 is provided with an opening in the second branching element 3 which is rotatably mounted on the first branching element. (FIG. 2, FIG. 3). When the branching element 3 is turned, the actuator is moved together with the branching element 3 and is rotated about the axis of rotation defined by the attachment of the transverse arms of the brackets 22 on the side walls 12, 13 of the front part 9. . This pivoting movement brings the edge 25 closer to the edge 21 of the bridge 16, ie the edge 25 protrudes further into the open section of the magazine 8.

The relatively long rear part 10 of the magazine 8 has the same cross section as the front part 9. The rear part 10 is preferably attached to the holder 1 such that the front part 9 and the rear part 10 are directly adjacent to each other. The rear part may also converge towards its free end, while the front part is made with a complementary design on the side facing the rear part. In this way, the rear section is automatically centered when advanced to the front section. Holder 1 has a T opening toward the rear.
A longitudinal groove 28 having a shaped cross-section is provided, in which a T-shaped guide element provided on the underside of the rear part 10 is placed close to the surface of the longitudinal groove 28. It is recommended that it be inserted in In order for the front part and the rear part to contact each other, the holder 1 has a lateral detent and a detent 3
0 engages a lateral recess in the T-shaped guide element 29 when inserted (FIG. 4). The detent 30 is held on a pin inserted into the holder 1 and surrounded by a coil spring 33. This coil spring 33 is supported at one end by the pressing stud 34 of the pin 32 and by the holder 1 at the other end, and pulls the pin to pull the detent 30 into the recess 31. By pressing on the push-on stud 34, the pin and the detent can be moved against the action of the spring 33 so that the detent 30 emerges from the recess 31 and the rear part 10 is released from the holder 1.

The slider 35 is movably mounted on the rear section 10 and substantially fills the entire cross section of the rear section. The spirally wound plate spring 37 is inserted into the inner hole 3 of the slider.
6. The free end 38 of this leaf spring extends laterally from the inner hole 36 to the front end of the rear section;
It is thereby located close to the inside of the side wall of the rear part 10. At the front end of this rear section, the free end 38 of the leaf spring is fixed inside the side wall of the rear section. The leaf spring 37 has a tendency to spiral itself so that the slider
A spring force is applied to the slider 35 to push the slider toward the front end of the slider 35. During this forward movement, the leaf spring wraps itself inside the slider 35. To prevent the slider from exiting the rear section, a bridging member 39 is placed across the upper open side at the front end of the rear section 10 and forms a stop for the slider.

The slider itself has on its rear side an upwardly projecting gripping part 40 with which the slider can be moved into a rearward position. At the rear end of the rear part 10, the rear part is open except for the L-shaped stop 41. One leg 42 of the L-shaped stop is fixed to the bottom of the rear part 10, while the other leg 43 projects upwardly towards the opening, thereby preventing the slider from being pushed out.

To make it possible to fix the slider in its rear position, a U-shaped bracket 44, which pivots about a horizontal axis 45, is mounted on the slider. The two free ends 46, 47 of the bracket 44
through a recess in the side wall to the bottom 50 of the rear section 10.
into the two holes 48 and 49 inside. The bracket 44 is configured such that when a force is applied on the crosspiece 51 connecting the two free ends, the two free ends 46, 47 come out of the holes 48, 49 and the slider can move freely. It can turn. A compression spring 52 between the crosspiece 51 and the slider 35 biases the bracket 44 so that the free ends 46, 47 are forced towards the bottom 50, ie into the holes 48, 49.

The aforementioned applicator is intended to receive a scalp clip 53, which is illustrated in the drawings in dash-dotted lines. These scalp clips have a pair of legs 54, 5 that narrow towards their free ends.
5 and has a substantially C-shaped cross section. These legs have gripping jaws 56 at their free ends;
57 and the opposite ends of the jaws are interconnected by a concave-shaped bridge 58.
The scalp clip is preferably formed as a one-piece piece of plastic and is normally closed. That is, the two gripping jaws 56, 57 are butted against each other.

In operation, a number of scalp clips 53 are first inserted into the rear section 10 of the magazine from the front while the slider is withdrawn and held in that position. Thereby, the plurality of clips are inserted such that the concave bridges of the clips face the slider. After insertion, the free end of one clip rests against the concave bridge of the front clip, as shown, for example, in FIG.

Once the rear part 10 has been filled with a plurality of clips, it is pushed into the holder 1 and kept in position by the detents 30. The slider is then released by the pressure exerted on the crosspiece 51 and the leading scalp clip can be advanced further by the edge 21 of the bridging member 16 and the edge 25 of the lower actuator 24. The slider clips multiple scalp clips in the anterior portion 9 until it is blocked.
Press.

For this purpose, the scalp clip is
It has laterally projecting edges 59, 60 in the area where the legs 54, 55 meet. These edges abut edge 21 or edge 25 (first clip in FIG. 2). The position of the lower actuator 24 required for this purpose can be adjusted by means of a setting screw 61 inserted into the second branching element 3 and whose free end rests against the first branching element 2 (FIG. 2). ).

As shown in FIG.
It is guided by lips 14, 15 which project in the lateral direction.

If the scalp clip is to be used, the branching element 3 is turned towards the branching element 2 against the action of the leaf springs 5, 6, and at the same time the lower actuator 24 is turned so that the end edge 25 It is moved closer to the edge 21. In this way, the concave shape of the bridge 58 brings the rear edges of the scalp clip closer together and opens the front, as shown in FIG. The range in which the clip bends and opens can be adjusted by the set screw 62 inserted into the first branch element 2, and the set screw 62 is inserted into the second branch element 3.
The rotational movement of the second branching element is restricted by this contact.

In the operating position illustrated in FIG.
It is moved over the tissue layer so that it is positioned between a pair of grasping jaws. If the branching element 3 is loosened, the branching element 3 is pulled away from the branching element 2 under the force of the leaf springs 5, 6, so that the end edge 25 is also pulled away from the end edge 21 again. The scalp clip is thereby closed. However, it cannot be completely closed because there is tissue between the gripping jaws.
The distance between the two edges 59, 60 is therefore smaller than for a scalp clip that is not bent open. It is therefore possible to withdraw the actuating device from the scalp clip. That is, the edge portion 5
If the distance between 9 and 60 is short, the lower actuator 24
when the edge 59,6 is again in its inoperative position.
This is because 0 means that it can pass between the edge parts 25 and 21.

All the scalp clips in the magazine 8 are moved under the influence of the slider which is pushed forward by the spring force so that the next scalp clip, which is now the leading clip, is in the use position illustrated in FIG. is moved forward until it reaches .

This procedure can be repeated until the magazine is empty. To refill the magazine, release the detent 3 by pressing the push-on stud 34.
It is sufficient to release the 0 and pull out the rear part 10 from the holder 1. The rear part can then be filled from the front with a plurality of scalp clips and reattached to the holder 1.

It is of course possible to combine several rear sections 10 into one applicator, so that a rear section 10 filled with several clips can be pushed into the applicator as soon as the first rear section is emptied. can.

Other embodiments are shown in FIGS. 7-9 which are very similarly constructed and the same reference numerals are used to designate the same parts.

A forwardly extending projection 129 is located on a crosspiece 128 of bracket 22, which crosspiece 128 is located above the magazine. The protrusion 29 has a downwardly extending retaining nose 1 at its free end.
It has 30. In the inoperative position of the lower actuator, which is connected to the holder with a butt (Fig. 8),
The retaining nose 130 projects into the feeding track of the scalp clip as it is moved forward within the magazine. In the operating position of the actuator, the holding nose 130 is turned out of the feed track.

The retaining nose 130 is lowered rearwardly in relation to the edge 21 of the upper effector by the length of the scalp clip, as shown in FIG.

As also shown in FIG. 8, in its basic position the leading scalp clip projects beyond the front end of the magazine 8 and laterally has a laterally projecting lip on the front part 9 of the magazine 8. 14 and 15.

At the same time, in this basic position, the retaining nose 130 of the projection 129 rests on the upper edge 59 of the second clip, and this second clip and the following clips are connected to the spring-loaded slider. According to 35, usage position (Fig. 8)
prevents it from being pushed towards the leading clip in the

When the actuator is moved to its use position (Figure 9)
The holding nose 130 then rotates out of the scalp clip's feeding track, thereby releasing the second clip. However, this second clip cannot move forward within the magazine because it is prevented from moving forward by the leading clip which is bent open by the actuator. When the actuator is again turned out of the position of use, the holding element with the holding nose 130 simultaneously enters the feeding track again and is now at the leading clip, in a position lowered to the rear with respect to the actual position of use. Hold the scalp clip secured to the

In order to move the leading scalp clip into the position of use, it is sufficient to immediately move the two branching elements towards each other, so that the holding nose 130 exits the feeding track. The leading scalp clip is thereby released and moved forward by the slider 35. The clips cannot be completely ejected from the magazine since the actuator 24 is also rotated towards the use position by the release of the retaining element, thereby preventing the leading clip from ejecting completely. The clip can be moved forward until its edges 59,60 abut edges 21,25. The leading clip is securely held in this use position. If the bifurcated element is released, the retaining nose 130 is attached to the upper edge 5 of the next succeeding scalp clip.
9 forward, thereby holding and returning the next clip. That is, the leading clip is no longer pushed out of the magazine by the biasing force of the leaf spring 37. Even if the scalp clip could be pushed out of the magazine by a strong thrust, when the actuator 24 is turned out of its use position, the leading scalp clip will be forced out of the leaf spring 37 in this position. Since it is not subject to the action of The force exerted by leaf spring 37 after the leading clip has been bent open is not damaging. This is because in this phase of operation the actuator 24 is rotated to keep the leading clip firmly and securely in the magazine.

This procedure may be repeated until the magazine is empty. Due to the arrangement of the holding elements, which can be turned in and out, it is possible to move several clips forward with considerable spring force, without the risk of unintentionally pushing the scalp cap out of the magazine. It is. It is also advantageous that the next scalp clip to be used can remain completely within the interior of the magazine until the next clip is to be used. This considerably reduces the risk of the scalp clip becoming soiled. A simple movement of the branching element will not release the scalp clip and push it forward into the position of use until the scalp clip is to be used. The scalp clip is then bent open and used only when necessary. As soon as this clip is used, the following clip is completely placed inside the magazine again.
