Appl. No.:

5/779679

Inventors:

Vladimir Sinisa Ban - Hopewell NJ
Stephen Lee Gilbert - Concord VT

Assignee:

RCA Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B05D 512

US Classification:

427253

Abstract:

An apparatus for chemically vapor-depositing a material onto surfaces of a plurality of substrates within a reaction chamber comprises means positioned within the chamber for supporting the substrates in a stack-like relationship wherein the surfaces are substantially parallel to each other and are separated by spacings, and a plurality of gas nozzles connected to a source of gas and positioned within the chamber so that the flow of gas therefrom is directed, respectively, into the spacings between the surfaces. A method of utilizing this apparatus comprises rotating the substrates while moving the nozzles back and forth in an arc, so that the flow of gas therefrom is directed into the spacings at different angles. Uniform deposition of the material onto the substrates is further improved by maintaining the pressure of the gas within the chamber between about 1 and 100 Torr.

International Classification:

A61F5/04

US Classification:

606 86

Abstract:

An orthopaedic assembly includes a first portion or an acetabular cup and a second connecting portion or a cup inserter. The acetabular cup includes a cavity for receiving a femoral head and a pole defining a longitudinal axis through the cavity. The acetabular cup further includes an annular face which bounds the cavity and has a plurality of notches extending therein. Each notch includes an undercut wall. The annular face further includes a projection receiving device. A cup inserter includes a body with an end face and a plurality of fingers extending from the end face. Each finger is insertable into a corresponding one of the notches in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis and is rotatable around the longitudinal axis to a locking position. Each finger includes a transverse surface which matingly engages with a corresponding one of the undercut walls when the finger is in the locking position. The cup inserter further includes a projection and a biasing device.
