Abstract
A modular impactor head includes a load transfer member, a base, and a locking assembly. The base defines a space sized and configured to receive the load transfer member therein and to constrain movement of the load transfer member relative to the base in a plurality of directions. The locking assembly is sized and configured to constrain movement of the load transfer member with respect to the base in at least one direction such that the load transfer member is fixed to the base.
Claims20
A modular impactor head, comprising:
- a load transfer member;
- a base defining a space sized and configured to receive the load transfer member therein and to constrain movement of the load transfer member relative to the base in a plurality of directions;
- and
- a locking assembly sized and configured movement of the load transfer member with respect to the base in at least one direction such that the load transfer member is fixed to the base.

A modular impactor head, comprising:
- a load transfer member including a pair of tabs extending from opposite side surfaces of the load transfer member;
- a base including a plurality of sidewalls extending from a bottom wall to define a space sized and configured to receive the load transfer member, at least two of the sidewalls defining slots and the bottom wall defining a cavity, the slots sized and configured to slidably receive the tabs extending from the side surfaces of the load transfer member;
- and
- a locking assembly sized and configured to be received within the cavity and to lock the load transfer member to the base.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- inserting a biasing member into a cavity defined by a bottom wall of a body of a modular impactor head, the modular impactor head including a plurality of sidewalls extending from the bottom wall defining a space;
- inserting a locking shaft into the cavity;
- aligning a tab extending from a surface of a load transfer member with a slot defined by one of the sidewalls;
- inserting the load transfer member into the space in a first direction such that the tab is received within the slot;
- and
- sliding the load transfer member in a second direction until the locking shaft is received within a hole defined by the load transfer member.
