Universal Tool Adapter for Image-Guided Surgery - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023946 titled 'Universal Tool Adapter for Image-Guided Surgery

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a tool adapter that consists of an adapter arm with a connection at one end and a circular coupling at the other end. The circular coupling has a center and an axis orthogonal to it. The adapter also includes a tool grip that is connected to the circular coupling, allowing rotation of the tool grip around the axis. The tool grip is designed to securely hold a tool along the axis.

  • The tool adapter is made up of an adapter arm, circular coupling, and tool grip.
  • The adapter arm has a connection at one end and a circular coupling at the other end.
  • The circular coupling has a center and an axis passing through the center.
  • The tool grip is connected to the circular coupling and can rotate around the axis.
  • The tool grip is designed to firmly hold a tool in place along the axis.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial machinery and equipment where tools need to be securely attached and rotated.
  • Automotive repair and maintenance, allowing for easy tool changes and rotation.
  • Construction and building projects, enabling efficient use of various tools.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of attaching and rotating tools, reducing the time and effort required.
  • Provides a secure grip on the tool, preventing slippage or accidents during use.
  • Allows for quick and easy tool changes, improving efficiency and productivity.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased versatility in tool usage due to the ability to rotate the tool grip.
  • Enhanced safety by securely holding the tool in place during operation.
  • Improved efficiency and productivity through quick tool changes and rotation.


Original Abstract Submitted

a tool adapter (), consisting of an adapter arm () having a proximal end terminating with a connection () and a distal end having a circular coupling (), the circular coupling having a center and defining an axis () orthogonal to the circular coupling and passing through the center. the adapter also has a tool grip () rotatingly connected to the circular coupling so as to permit rotation of the tool grip about the axis, the tool grip being configured to fixedly retain a tool () along the axis.
