Abstract
An Albarran module, a drive body, and a method for bracing a pull wire, by which method at least one pull wire can be braced in a simple and reliable manner by a tensioning means for bracing the at least one pull wire is connectable to a drive body of the Albarran module parallel to a longitudinal axis of a shaft. The Albarran module has an Albarran lever at a distal end of a shaft. The Albarran lever is actuatable via a toggle on a main body of the Albarran module. For this purpose, the lever is coupled mechanically to the toggle by pull wires along the shaft. In known Albarran modules, the fitting and bracing of these pull wires proves complicated and laborious.
Claims7
An Albarran module comprising:
- a shaft including a distal end and a proximal end;
- a main body with a drive body arranged at the proximal end of the shaft;
- an Albarran lever arranged at the distal end of the shaft;
- a toggle arranged on the drive body;
- a screw that is coupled to a cover and configured to connect to the drive body parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shaft;
- at least one pull wire including a proximal end that is braced in the drive body by the screw;
- a pull-wire carrier arranged within the drive body, wherein:
- a longitudinal axis of the screw is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shaft in the drive body and a longitudinal axis of the pull-wire carrier in the drive body;
- and
- the screw is screwed into the drive body from a proximal side of the drive body;
- and
- when the screw is tightened, the cover is pulled into one of the drive body and the pull-wire carrier, and the at least one pull wire is configured to be braced between the cover and a receptacle of the pull-wire carrier, the cover being polygon-shaped.
