  • is invention relates generally to hardware fasteners and more particularly to plural fasteners all having a common fastener head and cap system. [0003]
  • 2. Description of Related Art [0004]
  • The following art defines the present state of this field: [0005]
  • Harms et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,678 describes a receiver member for a pedicle screw which provides for hingedly connecting a screw comprising a threaded shaft portion and a spherical-segment-shaped head on the one hand and a rod on the other hand. In order to improve the stocking costs for screws of different shaft lengths and shaft diameters, the receiver member has a receiver chamber therein, the receiver chamber has a bore at one end thereof for passing the threaded shaft portion followed by an inner hollow spherical-segment-shaped portion for supporting the head of the screw to be received, and an aperture on the side opposite to the bore for inserting the screw. Further, a compression member is provided which exerts, in assembled state, a force onto the head such that the head is pressed against the hollow spherical-segment-shaped portion. The new receiver member provides that only screws with different screw shafts must be stocked and in operation these screws can be then assembled with the uniform receiver members. [0006]
  • Haider U.S. Pat. No. 5,782,833 describes a pedicle screw assembly for use with a rod for the immobilization of bone segments. The assembly is composed of a screw, a polyaxial housing, a washer, a set screw, and a cup-shaped cap. When the screw is placed inside the polyaxial housing, the head of the screw comes into contact with a middle section of the polyaxial housing and is secured into the bone so that the polyaxial housing is pivotable with three degrees of freedom. The housing includes a pair of upstanding posts with interior threads. A washer is inserted between the head of the screw and the rod. A cap, having a bottom, with a pair of posts accommodating openings and a lateral cross connector, is placed over the posts so that the cross connection engages the rod. A set screw is threaded into the housing posts to secure the rod within the housing. [0007]
  • Tatar, U.S. Pat. No. 5,910,142 describes a polyaxial pedicle screw device for use with rod implant apparatus, which utilizes a rod mounted ferrule, including a screw having a curvate head and a rod receiving body. The body has a rod receiving channel and an axial bore into which the head of the screw is inserted. The interior surface of the bore is inwardly curvate at the lower end thereof to form a socket for polyaxially retaining the curvate head of the screw. In an initial position the screw head remains polyaxially free with respect to the body. The rod mounted ferrule seats into a small curvate recess in the upper portion of the screw head such that the rod may enter the body at a variety of angles while maintaining a secure seating against the head of the screw.

  • Katz, U.S. Pat. No. 5,989,254 describes a pedicle screw assembly consisting of a screw having a part spherical head providing a saddle shaped contact surface for a connecting rod, the head being held in a coupling member allowing limited angular movement between the screw and coupling member in one plane only and this plane is at right angles to the contact surface. Surfaces are provided in the connecting member for supporting a connecting rod, which is securable in the coupling member by a cap engaging in the coupling member to clamp the connecting rod against the supporting surfaces while still enabling the screw to move angularly with respect to the coupling member.

  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The accompanying drawings illustrate the present invention. In such drawings: [0018]
  • FIGS. [0019] 1-3 are perspective views of preferred embodiments of the invention;
  • FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the embodiment of FIG. 2 shown in section; and [0020]
  • FIG. 5 is a section view thereof shown as assembled.[0021]
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The above described drawing figures illustrate the invention in at least one of its preferred embodiments, which is further defined in detail in the following description. [0022]
  • The invention is a fastening apparatus designed for threaded insertion into bone tissue and is therefore made of a titanium alloy compatible with human physiology. It has a [0023] fastener body 10, shown in FIG. 1, providing a female threaded cap receiving means 20 and a transverse groove 30 for receiving a rod 40. The rod 40 is not a part of the present invention but is used to interconnect plural units of the fastening apparatus. A fastener cap 50 provides a disk shaped cap head 60 and, depending from it, and integral with it, a male threaded portion 70 within a spaced apart concentric cylindrical rim 80. The cap head 60 provides a tool engaging means 90, such as a hex depression commonly used to accept an Allen wrench for turning the fastener cap 50 onto the fastener body 10 for clamping the rod 40 in place. The cylindrical rim 80 engages the cap receiving means 20 to prevent splaying of the cap receiving means 20. This is an important aspect of the present invention and provides superior results as compared to the prior art described above.
  • Preferably, the [0024] fastener body 10 further provides a hook shaped finger 100 or a male threaded shaft 110 depending therefrom, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 2 respectively. These features provide a way for the fastener body 10 and cap 50 to be mounted to, or within, bone structures of the body.
  • The male threaded [0025] shaft 110 and the fastener body 10 may be cooperatively engaged for pivotal movement of the threaded shaft 110 within the fastener body 10. This is clearly shown in FIG. 5. A washer 120 is used to advantage in this fastener system. The washer 120 has a generally U-shaped conformation with plural opposing grooves 122 formed on an outside wall 124 of the washer 120. The fastener body 10 provides inwardly protruding upsets 12 positioned for engaging the opposing grooves 122 so as to capture the washer 120 within the fastener body 10. The manner in which this is accomplished is as follows. The washer 120 is inserted into the fastener body 10, as is clearly shown in FIG. 2, and aligned with the transverse groove 30. Next, a center punch or similar tool (not shown) is inserted into each one of a pair of opposing blind holes 11 in the fastener body 10 as shown. These holes 11 terminate within 0.002 inches of the interior of the fastener body 10. The center punch is used to deform the material at the bottom of the holes 11 to form the upsets 12, forcing this material to protrude into the interior of the fastener body 10 and thus into the opposing grooves 122.
  • The [0026] washer 120 further provides a spherical annular surface 126 adapted by size and shape for engaging a spherical surface 112 at a proximal end 114 of the threaded shaft 110 whereby the spherical surface 112 of the threaded shaft 110 and the spherical annular surface 126 of the washer 120 are able to move in rotational communion with surfaces 112 and 126 in contact. The spherical surface 112 at the proximal end 114 of the threaded shaft 110 terminates at a circular raised peripheral lip 116. This construction enables the rotation of the threaded shaft 110 over a total angular excursion of at least 40 degrees and yet remain in structurally sound interconnection with the washer 120. Preferably, a hex shaped recess 118 is formed in the proximal end 114 of threaded shaft 110 for enabling the shaft 110 to be driven by an Allen wrench.
  • While the invention has been described with reference to at least one preferred embodiment, it is to be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited thereto. Rather, the scope of the invention is to be interpreted only in conjunction with the appended claims. [0027]
