Lead system for electrical devices used in medical procedures

摘要

A lead system for electrical devices is disclosed that includes a first lead and a second lead, where the second lead may be in communication with a sliding member and a lead channel. The second lead translates laterally along the lead channel between a plurality of positions so as to vary the spacing between the first lead and the second lead.

主权项

1. A lead system for electrical devices, comprising:
a housing; a fixed lead fixedly secured to the housing; a variable lead movably connected to the housing; a mechanism for translating a position of the variable lead relative to the housing so as to vary a spacing between the fixed lead and variable lead, the mechanism comprising one or more of:
a) a gear, a gear bar fixedly attached to the variable lead and in communication with the gear, and a tool in communication with the gear;b) a first bar, where one end of the first bar is in communication with the fixed lead and another end of the first bar is in communication with a second bar by linking means, where an end of the second bar is in communication with the variable lead;c) a lead bar fixedly attached to the variable lead, a lever in communication with the lead bar, and a torsion spring fixedly attached to the lever; and a locking mechanism for locking the variable lead against movement relative to the housing.
