Self-contained gas powered surgical stapler
TLDR
In this paper, a surgical stapler powered by a relatively low pressure gas supply contained in the staplers is described, which has a mechanical linkage between the pneumatic actuator and the staple driver with a differential mechanical advantage to match the substantially constant force provided by the pNE to the different forces required to first advance and then form the staple.Abstract:
A surgical stapler powered by a relatively low pressure gas supply contained in the stapler. The stapler has a mechanical linkage between the pneumatic actuator and the staple driver with a differential mechanical advantage to match the substantially constant force provided by the pneumatic actuator to the different forces required to first advance and then form the staple. This mechanical linkage allows use of a relatively small low pressure actuator and also substantially increases the efficiency with which the gas supply is utilized.read more

Automatic mechanism for the discharge of fluid in a pressurized system
TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism for automatically releasing a pressurized fluid includes a slidable piston to puncture a seal normally closing the fluid outlet, the piston being controlled by the pressure differential between fluids on opposite sides of a cylinder and normally equalized by communication with the compressed fluid.

Hog-ring tool
TL;DR: In this article, a tool, utilizing staples or rings of the so-called hog-ring type, especially adapted for securing in place the fabric covering be of seat-cushions or mattresses; the rings being ov clinched through the fabric around the edge or frame of the artilea or mattress.
Patent
Force multiplying mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, a toggle mechanism has been shown to have almost infinite force multiplication as the toggle links approach alignment, but it is still a very low friction mechanism and consequently high efficiency.
