  • Patent number: 6915057
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular cassette for coiling and holding splices between conductors, the cassette comprising: a base module substantially occupying a plane, the module having a conductor entry passage leading to first conductor coiling means and first holding means for holding splices between conductors; second conductor coiling means; and a first additional module receiving conductors, the additional module substantially occupying the same plane as the base module and being secured to the base module by releasable connection means. The base module of the invention contains said second coiling means and the first additional module of the invention contains holding means for holding connections being conductors.

  • Publication number: 20050077765
    Abstract: A child car seat device is provided, which includes a base intended to be fitted to a car seat and designed to accept a seat. The seat is movable in rotation in a substantially horizontal plane, so as to allow movement from a travelling position, in which said seat is orientated according to the principal axis of said vehicle, to a position for installing a child, in which said seat is turned substantially facing a door of said vehicle. The seat is also movable in inclination. The base has a part extending substantially vertically so as to lean against the backrest of said car seat, and whose upper part has a connection zone with the upper part of the backrest of said seat. In said travelling position, said inclination is obtained essentially by rotating said seat in a substantially vertical plane about a fixed point belonging, in said travelling position, to said connection zone.

  • Publication number: 20050006934
    Abstract: A child seat linking device with a first portion of strap in a motor vehicle is characterized in that it comprises two mutually moveable linking components between an idle position and a working position adopted when the first portion of strap is taut. A return device tends to return the linking components to the idle position. A tension indicator distinguishes whether the linking device is in the idle position or in the working position.

  • Publication number: 20040120679
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cassette for coiling at least one optical fiber provided with a splice protection, in which said optical fiber is to be wound in such a manner as to fit closely against an inside peripheral wall of said cassette, said cassette being provided with two entry points in the vicinity of said inside peripheral wall to enable two portions of said optical fiber situated on either side of said splice protection to penetrate into said cassette. According to the invention, said entry points are provided with guide means so that said two portions wind in the same direction, and said splice protection takes up a non-predetermined position in said cassette. The present invention is more particularly adapted to coiling a flat optical fiber ribbon having a splice.
