Abstract: A disposable seal assembly for use with a reusable cannula, where the seal assembly is designed for use with the cannula during a single medical procedure and the cannula is designed for multiple uses (each time with a different seal assembly) during a number of medical procedures. The seal assembly includes both a flapper valve fluid seal (for sealing the cannula when no medical instrument is inserted through the seal assembly) and at least one instrument seal (for sealing the cannula when a medical instrument is inserted through the seal assembly). Preferably, the seal assembly has a body with a flange which can be snapped onto the cannula before use, and readily removed after use. Also preferably, the flapper valve has an over-centered hinge. In other embodiments, the invention is a seal assembly which includes at least one double instrument seal including a sacrificial flange and a sealing flange, and optionally also a flapper valve. The sealing flange seals the cannula when a medical instrument is inserted through the seal assembly even when the sacrificial flange has been cut during insertion of the instrument. In other embodiments, the invention is a system including a reusable cannula, and a disposable seal assembly of any of the described types which can be snapped onto the cannula before use and readily removed after use.

IPC: F24B1/20
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: The invention concerns the construction of a cooking oven wherein the heat source and the food are separated, thereby avoiding carcinogenic risks in food preparation. The oven consists of an elliptical hearth (1) with two geometrical furnaces, one (7) for receiving the heat source, the other (8) for receiving the food to be cooked. The hearth (1) is topped by a chamber (2) in the shape of an ellipsoid of revolution, delimited by a roof (3). Access to the chamber is provided through an opening limited by an elliptical apron (4), at a few centimetres in front of which, a second elliptical apron (5), provides a slot (6), for the gases to escape; said access is equipped with a door. The VENTURI effect ensures the proper functioning of the furnace, preventing soot from dropping into the chamber. The construction is made with standard refractory materials, i.e. cast iron. The invention is useful for equipping houses, villas and apartments, in which case a reduced-size model is used.

Abstract: An attempt has been made to prevent damage of a hermetic terminal and
to improve pressure-resistance strength of the welded joint of connecting pipes in
order to provide a sealed housing 4 having a pressure-resistance strength high enough
to allow use of a high-pressure alternative refrigerant. For this purpose, ring-shaped
metal members 15 and 23 are welded to the outer peripheries of the welded joints of
a hermetic terminal 8 to be hermetically welded to an upper end plate 1 of a sealed
housing 4 and a discharge pipe 10. As a result, in the event the internal pressure of
the sealed housing 4 increases and the upper end plate 1 deforms in the shape of a
sphere, the ring-shaped metal member 15 on the outer periphery of the welded joint
of the hermetic terminal 8 suppresses the deformation of the hermetic terminal 8 thus
preventing damage of a glass seal 12 of the hermetic terminal 8, and the ring-shaped
metal member 23 on the outer periphery of the welded joint of the discharge pipe 10
decreases the tensile stress produced in the welded joint of the discharge pipe 10 thus
improving the pressure-resistance strength of the connecting section of the discharge
pipe 10 thereby providing a sealed type compressor having a sealed housing 4 with
a sufficiently high pressure-resistance strength.
