  • Patent number: 11982326
    Abstract: A non-return device for coaxial rotation transmission includes coaxial input and output shafts, a frame for guiding the rotation of the shafts. A locking element is urged in radial translation through a channel of the output shaft between a radial locking position, in which the locking element projects from the channel so as to prevent a rotation of the output shaft by abutting against the frame, and a radial unlocking position, in which the locking element is retracted so as to allow axial rotation of the output shaft. The input shaft includes means for radially switching the locking element between the locking and unlocking positions thereof.

  • Patent number: 11753169
    Abstract: An aircraft seat includes an actuator and a movement transmission device. The transmission device includes a frame provided with an immobilizing portion and a drive shaft. The transmission device further includes a gear wheel provided with coupling teeth having inclined side walls and a sleeve with an immobilizing portion complementary to the immobilizing portion of the frame, and coupling teeth having inclined side walls. The transmission device also has an elastic member configured to push the sleeve. The stiffness of the elastic member and the inclination of the side walls of the coupling teeth of the gear wheel and sleeve are chosen such that, when a torque greater than a threshold torque is applied to the gear wheel, the sleeve slides on the drive shaft from a position of coupling the sleeve to the gear wheel to a position of immobilizing the sleeve relative to the frame.

  • Publication number: 20230002058
    Abstract: An aircraft seat includes an actuator and a movement transmission device. The movement transmission device includes a frame having at least one bearing face and one braking face; a drive body configured to being rotated relative to the frame, the drive body having a bearing face and a braking face; and an elastic element suitable for keeping the braking face of the drive body at a defined distance from the braking face of the frame, the elastic element having a determined stiffness and being prestressed such that, when an axial load greater than a threshold load is applied to the drive body, the braking face of the drive body comes into contact with the at least one braking face of the frame.

  • Patent number: 11396933
    Abstract: This locking device for an electromechanical actuator comprises a rod that is movable relative to a cylinder under the action of a motor actuating the rod, an assembly of at least one hook that can be moved between a locked position in which said hooks engage in an indentation and an unlocked position in which said set of hooks is released from the indentation, one of said set of hooks and the indentation being provided on the cylinder and the other on the rod. It comprises a sliding lock that can slide relative to said hooks and to the indentation between a holding position in which said hooks are held in the locked position a released position in which said hooks are released under the action of the motor actuating the rod.
