Abstract: The valve consists of a ring (1) enclosing hinged curved wings (2), the ring having diametrically opposite fixtures (1b-1c) designed to offset the means of hinging the wings so that in their maximum opened position of at least 85.degree., the latter only project beyond the plane of the ring by a small amount thus delimiting, in conjunction with the shape of the wings, three equivalent areas allowing a laminar, axial central flow, the means of hinging the said wings being integrated in the thickness of the ring so that the ends of the wings, at the level of fixtures (1b-1c), are spread apart thus delimiting a space which is completely unobstructed in order not to limit or interfere with the central flow. The ring (1) has an internal peripheral fixture (1a) suitable to provide a support surface corresponding to the external shaped edge (2b) of wings (2) in the closed position of the latter, thus creating a damping effect.

Abstract: Trocar for inserting endoscopy instruments into cavities, the trocar having a cleanable hollow body, a disposable tip which is equipped with a swivel valve that can be retracted by inserting the instrument through an internal channel in the tip that communicates with the hollow body. The disposable tip is also equipped with externally operable features capable of modifying the diameter of channel in order to match it to the diameter of the instrument to be inserted.

Abstract: An artificial heart valve is the combination of curved wings and a ring inside of which the curved wings are hinged. The ring extends between an inlet and an outlet end, which ends are bisected by a center plane. The ring has diametrically opposed shoulders on the inlet end, and each shoulder is formed with a pair of hemispherical cavities. Each curved wing has a pair of opposite hemispherical enlargements shaped to cooperate with the hemispherical cavities in the shoulders such that spaced pivot axes are defined for the curved wings. The hemispherical enlargements are arranged on the wings and the hemispherical cavities are correspondingly arranged on the ring such that the curved wings, when in an extreme open position of approximately at least 85 degrees to the center plane of the ring, project minimally beyond the outlet end of the ring. Preferably, any length of the curved wings that would project beyond the outlet end would be less than an axial length of the ring.

Abstract: The unit A to fit a femoral head T of the prosthesis component or element consisting of a body 1, one part of which is constructed to temporarily take the femoral head T, whereas another part has means to likely to eject the the femoral head T with a view to positioning it onto a complementary part Ta of the prothesis element.

Abstract: The object of the invention relates to the technical branch of machine-tool accessories.The adapter features a torque limiter comprising a driving means (2) provided with a plurality of radial openings (2d) and axial openings (2e) which communicate between themselves, designed so that each set of openings (2d-2e) houses two balls arranged side by side, of which one (5) contacts the profiled recesses (1b) of a tap holder (1) of correspondent number, and the other one (6), contacts the top element (7) of an adjustable elastic means housed between the tap holder and a casing (3), so as to separate the driving means from the tap holder when the determined torque has been reached.The invention is applicable to all tapping chucks or various machine-tools.

Abstract: A milling cutter comprising a cylindrical body having a bore adapted for receiving a driving shaft in coupled relation and a periphery with uniformly distributed trapezoidal cavities therein with inset cutting blades in the cavities. The cutting blades have base sections of trapezoidal shape corresponding to that of the cavities and the blades are insertable in two different positions, one being an endless screw position in which the periphery of the teeth of the blades are inscribed in a circle concentric with the axis of the body and the other being a spur position in which the tips of the teeth are inscribed in a circle concentric with the axis of the body. The base sections of the blades have surfaces facing respective surfaces of the cavities and respective pairs of the surfaces are formed with longitudinal grooves cooperatively defining common spaces in which axial keys are engaged to lock the respective blades in the cavities radially.
