#CMT# #/CMT# The element (33) has a corrugated sheet metal core (18) formed as a central component and providing the element with characteristics, such that the element is integrally rigid and permanently deformable by hand. Corrugations of the corrugated core sheet are oriented parallel to a preferred direction, where the element extends as a lamellar element along the preferred direction. Attachment units (38, 39) are arranged on the element for releasably attaching the element. The metal core is covered by covers (36, 37) and is formed of aluminum. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a fixing device comprising a stable support. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Fixing element for use in a fixing device e.g. forearm support, saddle joint support, upper arm support and elbow support, for fixing an object i.e. limb, on a stable support i.e. U-shaped medical splint (all claimed). Can also be used for packing an article. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The element ensures simple, accurate and secure fixing of the object on the stable support without requiring an additional auxiliary unit. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a cross sectional view of a fixing element. 18 : Corrugated sheet metal core 33 : Fixing element 36, 37 : Covers 38, 39 : Attachment units. |
