| 20100052232 | FRICTION DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING FORCE, AND A FRICTION DAMPER COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE - Friction device includes at least two members, one of which is mobile, or potentially mobile, in terms of relative displacement with respect to the other under the action of an external stimulus. The relative displacement is liable to cause the relative displacement of two friction surfaces subjected to pressing forces, so as to convert the external stimulus into a friction force and to thus control the displacement of the mobile or potentially mobile member. The pressing forces are produced by pre-stressing mechanisms and the members are able to act on the effects of the pre-stressing mechanisms so as to use the resultant effect of the relative displacement of the mobile or potentially mobile member to reduce the pressing forces. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100117264 | COMPRESSION MOULDING METHOD FOR COMPOSITES, AND MOULD DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF - Compression molding method for composites including the step of forming a dough under pressure, including an amalgam of non-woven fibers randomly mixed and associated, in a defined proportion, with a thermosetting or thermoplastic material. The preparation of the dough includes mixing the fibers and the thermosetting or thermoplastic material, in a vacuum, while the forming operation is carried out by introducing the dough into a mould shaped and dimensioned to withstand high pressures. There is a molding cavity in the form of a part to be produced and provided with at least one well configured so as to accommodate, tightly, a plunger piston, which, by sliding, can pressurize the dough in the cavity, and therefore form the latter in the mould. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100200340 | BRAKING DEVICE FOR A RIMMED WHEEL, ESPECIALLY FOR A BIKE WHEEL - A braking device is designed to be mounted on a bicycle frame C with at least one wheel R with a rim ( | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110030178 | FIXING DEVICE FOR THE ASSEMBLY AND QUICK RELEASE OF OBJECTS - The invention relates to a fixing device for the assembly and quick release of objects. The device includes an attaching element that can be fixed to one of the objects to be held together, and a holder that can be fixed to the other object and designed to hold the attaching element. The holder includes a plurality of separable parts that can be held closely together around the attaching element by a disengageable pre-tensioning device. The separable parts include of parts of the holder connected to each other by an elastically deformable mechanisms which stretch to in order to draw closer the parts located at a distance from each other, while the pre-tensioning device includes a link wound around the parts in order to keep them closed on the attaching element, at least one end of the link being fixed to a tensioning mechanism. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110039073 | DAMPING SKIN FOR PROTECTING COMPOSITE PARTS - Damping skin for protecting composite parts includes a composite material having at least two superposed layers, namely a first layer formed from the juxtaposition of hollow spheres, which is intended to be applied and fixed, either directly or indirectly, to the surface of the part to be protected and a second layer covering the first and formed from a wall made of a material having plastic deformation properties. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110272536 | COMPOSITE L-SHAPED FITTING AND METHOD AND MOULD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to an L-shaped fitting obtained after molding a composite material, including two portions defining an angle therebetween and having holes formed therein for connecting the two portions using an attachment device, and having side reinforcements in the form of brackets. At least one portion has a concave curved profile on the inner side of the fitting, and the hole(s), formed in the portion having a concave curved profile on the inner side are each formed along an axis radial to the curvature. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110277919 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A COMPOSITE PART, AND RESULTING PART - The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a composite part intended for being subjected, via at least one attachment point, to pulling and/or compression forces. The method includes: winding fibers on a hub so as to form a portion of the wall of the part, and creating an externally convex rounded area at the location intended to form the area for applying the pulling and/or compression forces. The forces are radial thereto. The method also includes placing an insert on the convex rounded area, the insert including the attachment point or a mechanism for rigidly connecting the attachment point, and continuing to wind fibers so as to form the rest of the wall, while covering a portion of the insert and leaving the attachment point or the mechanism for rigidly connecting the attachment point accessible. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110308906 | MECHANICAL DEVICE FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF A FORCE WITH A THRESHOLD - The invention relates to a mechanical transmission device for transmitting a threshold force, the device comprising a first element ( | 12-22-2011 |
