A multiple-dome, scored rupture disc presents opposing first and second disc faces and is provided with a circular, central region and a flat annular flange surrounding the central region. An arcuate line of weakness is formed in the disc circumscribing the central area except for a portion of the circumference of the central area defining a hinge about which the central region pivots upon rupture. The central region is divided by a diametrical ridge into two side-by-side semicircular halves within which the disc is bulged to form a plurality of separate concavo-convex bulges in the body.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 28, 1993 and granted August 5, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 28, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 28, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
