20080202865 | Wheel Brake Comprising a Wear Sensor - A brake for a vehicle wheel which is mounted in such a way that it can be rotated in relation to a wheel support, the brake including a frame which is fixed to the wheel support, and additional mobile and fixed friction elements. The inventive brake also includes a device for measuring a parameter representing the energetic capacity of the brake. The measuring device includes a capacitive sensor and an information processing unit, the capacitive sensor having two measuring reinforcements mounted face-to-face and carried by the frame, and a dielectric screen carried by a friction element which can be displaced by the action of each actuator. The dielectric screen slides between the two reinforcements during the clamping of the friction elements in order to modify the capacity of the condenser formed by the two measuring reinforcements. The brake is useful in an aeroplane. | 08-28-2008 |
20080303726 | UNDERCARRIAGE FITTED WITH A COMMUNICATION DEVICE BETWEEN A WHEEL AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE - The invention relates to an aircraft undercarriage including at least one axle having at least one wheel mounted to rotate thereon, the undercarriage including a communication device for connecting a sensor mounted on a rim of the wheel to stationary processor means mounted on the aircraft. According to the invention, the communication device comprises firstly an antenna secured to the sensor and thus rotating together with the wheel, and secondly a stationary antenna extending at the end of the axle and connected to the processor means, the two antennas being in radio communication through a cover of non-conductive material secured to the wheel and covering the end of the axle. | 12-11-2008 |
20080303727 | UNDERCARRIAGE FITTED WITH A COMMUNICATION DEVICE BETWEEN A WHEEL AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE - The invention relates to an aircraft undercarriage including at least one axle having at least one wheel mounted to rotate thereon, the undercarriage including a communication device for connecting a sensor mounted on a rim of the wheel to stationary processing means mounted on the aircraft, the communication device comprising a rotary antenna mounted on the wheel rim to rotate therewith and connected to the sensor, and a stationary antenna facing said rotary antenna so that the antennae are in electromagnetic relation, said stationary antenna being connected to the processing means, wherein the stationary antenna and the rotary antenna extend on the inner side of the wheel facing the undercarriage. | 12-11-2008 |
20090101261 | DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A TIRE OF AN AIRCRAFT WHEEL TO A PNEUMATIC UNIT OF THE AIRCRAFT - The invention relates to a device for selectively connecting a tire to a pneumatic unit of an aircraft, the tire forming part of a wheel mounted to rotate on a hollow axle of the aircraft, the device comprising a stator and a rotor that is mounted to rotate relative to the stator and that includes means enabling it to be rotated by the wheel. According to the invention, the stator is bell-shaped and is designed to be received as a push-fit in the axle, and includes an end wall carrying a first pneumatic port for connection to the pneumatic unit via a tube running along the inside of the axle, the rotor extending substantially inside the stator. | 04-23-2009 |

20120118094 | DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A MECHANICAL GEARBOX OF A VEHICLE BY CABLES USING A LEVER - A device has, in a vicinity of the lever and gearbox, members capable of being rotated as a result of displacement of the lever in order to exert a pull on strands of flexible cables attached to the members, regardless of the direction of angular displacement of the lever corresponding to gear shifting or gear selection. In the vicinity of the lever, one of the members is directly secured to the lever to constitute a shifting member, while the other member is controlled by the lever via a return element and constitutes a selection member. | 05-17-2012 |
20130118284 | DEVICE FOR COUPLING A GUIDE ELEMENT SECURED TO AT LEAST ONE CABLE SHEATH, IN A SUPPORT MOUNT - The guide element has two opposed hooks in alignment, one of which is intended to be positioned angularly so as to bear and butt in a recess formed in the support mount, while the other hook is designed to bear on an elastic member belonging to said mount so as to trigger the pivoting movement of a tilting latch which engages with said other hook, under a tilting effect of said guide element that corresponds to a position of coupling with the support mount. | 05-16-2013 |
20140237810 | DEVICE FOR ATTACHING A KNOB OF A GEAR LEVER FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A plastic insert for securing a knob to a gear lever has, firstly, a part secured onto a free end of the lever and, secondly, a space formed in the coaxial extension of the part. Limited coaxial movement of the knob and insert in relation to the lever occurs under the effect of a shock exerted on the knob, to dampen the shock. | 08-28-2014 |
