Double Bass Raised saddle/tension block pictures request

Could someone please post some pictures at different angles of a raised saddle/tension block?

I'm discussing the installation of one on my local luthier, but my drawing is terrible.

He has installed a tension blocks before on a cello, but this would be his first on a double-bass.

I'm from Antwerp, Belgium.

I had seen the raised sadle on Hein Van de Geyn's bass. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I tried to explain what I had seen and that's where my drawing came in.
He also started drawing but it looked quite different from the thing I had in mind.

The Moser Height Adjustable Saddle looks like a nice option. Thanks!!!
 
That's mine, 1 inch out of the top. Made by a local guitar luthier since there's no doublebass luthier in the area I live.
No screws.
