DEVICE FOR BUILDING ANATOMICAL MODELS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has melting chamber placed in front of casting member for treating model material, reservoir for holding negative, negative with inlay placed inside it and having sealed cavity formed by its internal walls and external tube surface and flexible gas-proof envelope sealed along external surface of inlay at the level corresponding to model material filling. The internal surface of the inlay communicates with device for supplying working medium under pressure and to sealed volume formed by the gas-proof envelope around the inlay via openings made in the inlay walls. The gas-proof envelope has an opening in the lower part. A rod having plate attached to its lower end is mounted in the inlay tube. Maximum dimension of the plate in a plane being in perpendicular relation to rod axis is greater than lower gasproof envelope end diameter. Members for sealing the gas-proof envelope are mounted between the lower inlay end and the plate. Thread is available on the upper end of the rod. The rod has nut, washer the diameter of which is greater than inlay tube diameter and member hindering rod rotation relative to the inlay tube when screwing the nut. EFFECT: simplified process in manufacturing anatomical models. 1 dwg _
