  • Patent number: 10811199
    Abstract: A locking module of an arming system including accumulation device, the module including a lever, second end including a bearing surface, the accumulation device exerting a thrust force on the first end when it is in the armed state; a lock element intended to adopt a first position to oppose the thrust force and a second position to stop opposing the thrust force; the module being characterized in that a shoe fixed to the lever is interposed between the bearing surface and the contact surface when the bearing surface is bearing against the contact surface, the width of the surface of the shoe in contact with the contact surface being greater than the width of the bearing surface.

  • Patent number: 10658129
    Abstract: A portable control device designed to control contacts of an electrical switch, and including a main drive shaft, a holding shaft, a motor for driving the main shaft and a microcontroller for controlling the motor. In a first direction of insertion, the main shaft is able to be inserted into a first recess of the switch in order to perform a movement for opening/closing the contacts, the holding shaft then being housed in a first holding orifice. In a second direction of insertion, the main shaft is able to be inserted into a second recess of the switch in order to be able to perform a movement for grounding the contacts, the holding shaft then being housed in a second holding orifice. The control device also includes a detector of the direction of insertion, which detector is linked to the microcontroller.

  • Patent number: 10366847
    Abstract: A device is for guiding a spring belonging to a control mechanism. The device includes two elements capable of sliding relative to one another and being linked in an articulated manner respectively to two axes of which at least one is linked mechanically to an operating shaft, and a compression spring mounted around these two elements and bearing by its two opposing ends respectively on the abovementioned two axes via, respectively, two bases, each of its bases being mounted in an articulated manner relative to one of the abovementioned axes. This device includes two rods, each rod being fixed by one of its ends onto one of the abovementioned bases, and being mounted to slide by its opposite end, relative to the other of the abovementioned bases.
