Abstract: Known safety valves comprise shut-off members and trigger mechanisms which are disposed coaxially in the pipeline and are rigidly connected to one another. The disadvantage with this arrangement is that the pipeline has to be undone in order to service the safety valve trigger mechanisms. The safety valve according to the invention comprises a trigger mechanism (3) which is disposed at an angle to the pipeline, is accessible from outside the valve housing (1), and is flexibly connected to the shut-off member (2). Since the arrangement is accessible from outside the housing, the trigger mechanism can be serviced and replaced without having to undo the pipeline.

Abstract: The acetabular cup prosthesis comprises a surgically implantable acetabular cup body having an inner surface and an outer convex surface adapted to interface with a patient's pelvic bone tissue. The cup body has an apex, and a base in the form of an annular rim that has a radius. It also has a base centre as origin for the radius, a cup axis which intersects the apex and base centre, and an annular rim periphery. The cup body outer convex surface has first and second curved surface areas. The first curved surface area is nearest the apex and is generated by rotating an arc 360 degrees around the cup axis which intersects the base centre and apex. The arc has a first radius of curvature with a first origin positioned at or near the base centre and its terminal end at the apex. The second curved surface area is positioned next to the base and is generated by rotating an arc 360 degrees around the cup axis. The arc has a second radius of curvature that is larger than the first radius of curvature and with a second origin that is spaced away from the first origin. A smooth transition is provided between the first and second curved surface areas.
