Clamp connection for connecting two construction components for a setting device, particularly an osteosynthetic setting device
First Claim
1. A clamp for securing a support rod comprising a clamping component having a cylindrical through hole and a socket adapted to receive a support rod, a connecting component having a base section and a cylindrical leg integrally formed with said base section and having a central axis extending from said base section into said through hole, and loading means mounted in said leg, said connecting component and said clamping component having curved surfaces in contact with each other, said curved surfaces being cylindrical about a central axis coinciding with the central axis of said leg, said loading means being positioned to bear against said clamping component to cause said clamping component to press a rod inserted in the socket of said clamping component against the base section of said connecting component and to press the curved surface of said clamping component against the curved surface of said connecting component.

Abstract
A clamp connection serves to connect two construction components, in particular for an osteo-synthetic fixation device in a structure in which the construction components are off-set from the force axis of the loading force that retains them.

2. A clamp for securing a rod comprising a clamping component having a through hole and a socket adapted to receive a rod, a connecting component having a cylindrical base section with a central axis, and a leg extending from said base section along said central axis through the through hole of said clamping component, said connecting component having a surface in lateral contact with a surface of said clamping component, in combination with loading means mounted in said leg and positioned to bear against said clamping component thereby to cause said clamping component to press a rod inserted in said socket against the base section of said contacting component and to press said laterally connecting surfaces of said clamping and connecting components against one another.
