  • Patent number: 6926349
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mount for securing a part to a support and for enabling the part to be positioned relative to its surroundings. The mount comprises: two pieces (6, 20) that are movable relative to each other parallel to a positioning axis (Y), one piece being for securing to the part and the other to the support; retaining means (22a, 26, 28) which prevent the two moving pieces from moving relative to each other and which release them only when the part (2) exerts against the support (4) a force that is greater than a given threshold in a direction parallel to the positioning axis; and locking means (31) suitable for being actuated to prevent the two moving pieces from moving relative to each other. The invention also provides a method of assembling a part to a support by means of such a mount.

  • Patent number: 6092953
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic part having at least one thin wall, and designed to be slidably mounted on a support by its thin wall and having, in this thin wall: an elongate through-opening, having two lengthwise edges that are substantially parallel at least over part of their length; a spacer whose thickness is greater than that of the thin wall, able to slide in the opening between the two lengthwise edges thereof; and means of holding the spacer to the support while keeping the spacer inside the opening. Spacer can be connected to thin wall by deformable or breakable links.

  • Patent number: 4878060
    Abstract: Multi-element microwave plane antenna formed from at least two metallic sheets (156, 157) on which separating studs (4, 19) are silk-screen printed and on which is inserted at least one block (50) of waveguides (2). The assembly of two such sheets forms a sandwich enclosing a printed circuit (195) carrying microwave lines which emerge into the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 4829314
    Abstract: Multi-element microwave plane antenna for receiving satellite television signals with two simultaneous polarizations. The antenna is provided with two systems of lines (1) whose ends (3, 30) form probes emerging into wave-guides (2). The probes of one system (3) are perpendicular to those of the other system (30). Between the two systems of lines there is placed only a thin sheet (150) bored with cross-shaped cut-outs (6), and provided with separating studs made from a silk-screen-printed insulating material.
