Patents by Inventor Nicolas ARNAULT

Nicolas ARNAULT has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11655865
    Abstract: A separating device that receives via a lower inlet an air flow laden with impurities, namely dust produced by pads of a brake assembly, and makes it possible to separate and collect heavy dust. The housing of the device contains a multi-cyclone cluster, with cyclones distributed annularly and supplied tangentially by a central collector surmounting an axial duct communicating with the inlet. The centrifuged and separated liquid and solid particles are directly collected below the cyclones in a trapping zone around the duct, the cluster forming a transverse barrier connected in a sealed manner to the duct so as to prevent the liquid collected in the trapping zone from rising towards a downstream zone, only gravity discharge orifices of the cyclones allowing the trapping zone to be filled during the operation of the device.

  • Patent number: 11592067
    Abstract: The filtration device enables the separation and collection of dust and particles produced by the pads of a brake assembly. A first separation unit having an air filtration medium, typically annular, is provided in the housing of the device, in order to define an upstream zone where air is admitted, for example tangentially, and a downstream zone in communication with an outlet of the housing for discharging the purified air. The upstream zone is in communication with a lower stage situated lower down, in which a second separation unit is located in order to separate water from particles that have fallen from the upstream zone. A filtration by the second unit is intended to collect clean water and possibly to discharge this water by gravitational flow. The fallen particles remain trapped inside the device, under the first unit.
