Paragraph Number

334

As used herein, an “axial force transmitting relationship” refers to a functional relationship between a first structure and a second structure. In this relationship, the structures interact with each other such that a force experienced or imparted by one structure (first or second) is transferred or transmitted to the other structure (first or second) along or in relation to a shared single axis. In certain embodiments, the first structure and second structure share a common axis. In other words, the two structures are coaxial. One axis, such as a longitudinal axis, is shared by both the first structure and the second structure.
