Patent number: 8619403Abstract: This device comprises an electromagnetic coil (3) in which there is able to slide a piston (6) which has at least a portion made of a material having paramagnetic susceptibility and which is placed in contact with the mechanical member when the drive device (1) is in the rest state. Electrical energy supply means are provided in order to store electrical energy and to abruptly release this energy into the coil and thus apply the high-energy magnetic movement pulse to the mechanical member. According to the invention, the piston (1) comprises a stack (9) of blocks (11, 12) which are made alternately from the material having paramagnetic susceptibility and an insulating material; and the electrical energy supply means are provided in order to allow the energy to be applied to the coil in the form of a series of electrical pulses which appear as the piston (6) moves.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2008Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignees: Alkan, Institut Franco-Allemand de Recherches de Saint-LouisInventors: Jean-Jacques Derksema, Klaus Sterzelmeier

Patent number: 5078371Abstract: This device comprises an arm (15) for supporting the load, such as a roller member of a vehicle, articulated about a bearing axle (2), together with a resilient leaf (1) forming a spiral about the axle (2) and a cushioning strip (12) of an elastomeric material interposed between two consecutive turns (1c, 1d, 1e) of the leaf (1); the inner end of the leaf (1) is rigidly fixed to the bearing axle (2) and its outer end (1b) is fixed to the arm (15), these resilient members (1, 12) preferably being accommodated within the arm (15) in a leaktight housing 15a). Cooling element (14, 26) including a liquid which fills the housing (15a) to ensure the cooling of the suspension. The latter is entirely independent and of minimum bulk, and can be used in any terrain by virtue of the cooling element.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1989Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignees: S.A.M.M., AlkanInventors: Philippe Joseph, Jean-Pierre Mettei
