  • Publication number: 20170284450
    Abstract: A method and system for permanently attaching a take-up screw for taking-up the axial clearance of the armature shaft of a windscreen wiper motor are disclosed. The take-up screw is screwed axially into a bore in the motor base (SM) until the screw reaches a stop position in relation to the armature shaft locked in the screw. At least one surface discontinuity is provided in the bore and/or the thread of the screw, allowing the screw to be screwed into the bore until it reaches the stop position. The screw is screwed into the bore until the stop position is reached and a screw- and/or motor base-deformation strain is applied at the discontinuity in order to deform the side surface of the screw and/or motor base (SM) and permanently attach the screw and/or motor base by wedging in the discontinuity.

  • Publication number: 20140227059
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for permanently attaching a take-up screw (3) for taking-up the axial clearance of the armature shaft of a windscreen wiper motor. The take-up screw (3) is screwed axially into a bore (1) in the motor base (SM) until it reaches a stop position in relation to the armature shaft (6) locked on the screw, At least one surface discontinuity (2) is provided in the bore (1) and/or the thread of the screw (3), allowing the screw (3) to be screwed into the bore until it reaches the stop position. The screw (3) is screwed into the bore until the stop position is reached and a screw- and/or motor base-deformation strain (D) is applied at the discontinuity (2) in order to deform the side surface of the screw (3) and/or motor base (SM) and permanently attach the screw (3) and/or motor base by means of wedging in the discontinuity. The invention is suitable for the wind-screen wiper motors of motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 4621768
    Abstract: This invention relates to a diffusing device for volatile liquids to affect the immediate environment, or perfume or deodorize a room; such device comprising a bottle (1) containing the liquid for diffusion (2), in which a wick (M) is partially immersed; a cover cap (3) fitted to the said bottle by means of a snap-on system (3a), capable of being rotated but not moved in a vertical direction, and provided with slits or ports (F) for the passage of the air; a wick-holder (11-13) fitted to the neck (6) of the said bottle by means of a snap-on system and prevented from rotating, and taking the form of a sleeve provided with slits or ports (V) for the passage of air and with an external screw thread; and an internal cap (10) consisting of an internally-threaded skirt (15) designed to engage with external thread (16) of the said wick holder, and having in addition vertical grooves on the outside (14) designed slidably to engage with a vertical sleeve (9) which forms an integral part of the upper portion of the afo
