  • Patent number: 10857847
    Abstract: Suspension bumper for the suspension of a motor vehicle, comprising a molded part made of elastomer being essentially symmetrical in revolution about a main axis of compression, this bumper comprising one end forming a crown comprising bearing faces (48) designed to receive pressure from a moving part, the end crown comprising protuberances (58, 60) that are separated from one another by notches (54) distributed over the perimeter of this crown, these bosses having bearing faces (48) arranged at various heights.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9222700
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for acting on the temperature of a travelling strip (4) by blowing gas or a water/gas mixture, whereby a plurality of jets of gas or a water/gas mixture, extending toward the surface of the strip and arranged in such a way that the impacts (24, 34) of the jets of gas or water/gas mixture on each surface of the strip are distributed at the nodes of a two-dimensional network, are sprayed onto each face of the strip. The impacts (24) of the jets on one face (A) are not opposite the impacts (34) of the jets on the other face (B), and the jets of gas or water/gas mixture come from tubular nozzles (23, 33) which are supplied by at least one distribution chamber (21, 31) and extend at a distance from the distribution chamber in such a way as to leave a free space for the flow of the returning gas or water/gas mixture parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip.

  • Patent number: 6464808
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for reducing the formation of wrinkles on metal strip subject to cooling in continuous heat treatment lines in which the strip passes through cooling zones through which cooling gas flows. The method includes the step of gradually modifying the cooling intensity at each change in the slope of the cooling cycle.
