Abstract: Device including an object accommodating system having two flaps defining between one another an accommodating space and bearing against a plate of a pushbutton arranged to move between a first position corresponding to the placing of the object in the accommodating space, this causing the ends of the flaps to move away from one another, and a second position corresponding to the removal of the object, this causing the two ends to move towards one another, the plate being connected to a compression spring bearing against a bottom wall of a housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the automated monitoring and the management of objects, especially medications in hospital environments, wherein this method consists, from a network of n individual housings containing a set of n objects, of transmitting to at least one of these objects, one or more movements selected from the extractions of said object from its housing and re-introductions of this object into an empty housing amongst the n housings, of automatically detecting the movement made and of using this detection in computer processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the automatic and instantaneous detection of movements of an object with respect to a housing containing or capable of containing this object chosen from the introductions of this object in this empty housing and the extractions of this object from its housing. The invention is characterized in that the device comprises a spring system (1) comprising two symmetrical blades (3, 3A) each formed by an upper wing (5, 5A) and of a lower wing (6, 6A) articulated between one another and forming at rest an obtuse angle, wherein these blades are positioned back to back at their articulation (4, 4A) in that the upper wings are configured to form a housing (7) for the object and in that the lower wings are connected to one another by a wire (8) forming a spring which cooperates with a push button (11) capable of moving perpendicularly to a pressure sensor (2) until it comes into contact with it or is freed from it.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier provides a rotatable beam on which are mounted foldable support arms having first wheel support means for engaging and entrapping the upper peripheral regions of the wheels of a bicycle, the beam being rotatable into a bicycle carriage mode vertically above the vehicle when the arms are in an arm deployed position and lockable in that position. Resiliently-biased detent means are associated with the support arms mountings for positively locking the arms in the deployed position in relation to the beam, simple movement against the bias effecting disengagement.
