  • Publication number: 20040069024
    Abstract: To endow such a device, of the type with a bolt (1) actuated by a key (2), with a high level of tamper-proofing and security without compromising its simplicity and reliability, the device includes two bolt-guiding members (3, 4) carried by one of the two elements, and the bolt includes a key-inserting aperture (114), two guiding ramps (112, 113) cooperating with the guiding members, and a third guiding ramp (115) cooperating with the key (2) when the latter is inserted into the aperture (114), in order to selectively actuate the bolt (1) from a locking position to an unlocking position, and vice versa, by rotation of the key.

  • Patent number: 6676332
    Abstract: This highway device includes a frame and an element (14) for covering the frame, the frame (12) including a peripheral border with two walls delimiting a groove and the covering element being equipped with a projecting peripheral lip (32) engaging in the groove in the frame-covering position. The covering element (14) includes at least one ramp (44) extending between the lip (32) and the internal surface of the element, the ramp or ramps being intended to bear on the end edge of the peripheral border of the frame and thus guiding the covering element during the displacement of the latter with respect to the frame, under the action of a force exerted on the element in a zone opposite the ramp or ramps (44).

  • Patent number: 6533332
    Abstract: The coupling includes a peripheral locking gasket for the pipe, the gasket being elastically deformable from a state in which it has a nominal inside diameter; an outer clamping ring placed on the end of the pipework element and surrounding the gasket; and a mechanism for thrusting the clamping ring axially towards the pipework element. The coupling has a spacer for holding the gasket spaced apart with an inside diameter greater than its nominal diameter before the pipe is put into place, the spacer being releasable once the pipe is in place.
