  • Patent number: 6550964
    Abstract: Covering device comprising two rigid cover elements associated respectively with a first and with a second unit having a relative mobility, the two rigid cover elements having apertures opposite one another, and a flexible cover element having two opposite ends a first end of the flexible cover element being fixed directly to the aperture of the first rigid cover element and its second end being fixed to a rigid positioning flange whose shape is adapted to the shape of the aperture of the second rigid cover element and which comprises joining means cooperating with complementary means provided on the second unit for the flange to position the second end of the flexible cover element, in all relative positions of the two units, in such a way that the position of the second end corresponds to the position of the aperture of the second rigid cover element after placement of the latter on the second unit.

  • Publication number: 20010036251
    Abstract: Joining device between two covers having a relative mobility, surrounding two units comprising between them mechanical, electrical, fluid and similar connecting means, passing into apertures arranged in the covers. The device comprises a flexible hollow element that is shaped so as to surround the connecting means like a sheath, the two ends of which are joined to the apertures of the covers. The two covers are generally parallelepipedal in shape and are arranged at approximately right angles to one another. At least one of the two ends of the element in sheath form is shaped so as to be joined to the corresponding cover in at least two contiguous sides of the cover.
