Patent number: 5232209Abstract: A MacPherson Strut assembly, or the like, with a hydroelastic suspension attachment in which the attachment is formed by two thick membranes of elastomeric composition which enclose a liquid. This unit forms a hydroelastic cartridge in which a sliding flap, provided with sealing joints, can move within a rigid confinement cup. The flap itself is encircled by a liquid passage having a large cross section clearance which causes a high level damping of vibrations which result from the resonant movement between masses between which the suspension attachment is mounted.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1991Date of Patent: August 3, 1993Assignee: Caoutchouc Manufacture et Plastiques S.A.Inventor: Etienne de Fontenay

Patent number: 5150657Abstract: A train of railroad cars having an articulated connection between adjacent railway cars which share a common truck. The articulated connection employs a connecting element having a series of truncated conical resilient elements connected together by a series of interposed truncated conical rigid elements. The thickness of the resilient elements and the width of the cross-section of the resilient and rigid elements vary in relation to the position of the elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1990Date of Patent: September 29, 1992Assignee: Caoutchouc Manufacture et Plastiques S.A.Inventor: Jacques Bourgeot

Patent number: 5080331Abstract: Elastic bushing with hydraulic damping of radial elasticity by circulation of liquid between two chambers opposite one another connected by a very long annular passage located in the round exterior fastening armature. A rigidity decoupling, over a short stroke, is provided by the deformation of a thin wall in each chamber. One side of the thin wall has air thereagainst and the other side has a damping liquid thereagainst. On the air side of the thin wall, movement is limited by an internal fastening ring, and on the liquid damping side by contact with a comb integrated in said internal fastening ring. Application of the bushing is in the fields of mountings for an automobile engine and similar uses.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1990Date of Patent: January 14, 1992Assignee: Caoutchouc Manufacture et Plastiques, S.A.Inventor: Etienne de Fontenay

Patent number: 5060578Abstract: Elastically deformable self-supporting membrane making possible intercommunication between consecutive railway vehicles formed by corrugations of increasing depths and essentially constant thickness. The thickness of each end corrugation is increased and the outer peaks of the corrugations are reinforced by an extra thickness having a higher modulus than the rest of the coating.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1990Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Caoutchouc Manufacture et Plastiques S.A.Inventor: Jean-Paul Carimentrand

Patent number: 5055251Abstract: Forming process, during vulcanization on a mandrel, of the end portions of rubber tubes, using a tool having a radially deformable skirt in the form of a corolla, made of vulcanized rubber which encloses the end portions of rubber tubes using solely the action of the circumferential elasticity of its corolla. The disengagement of the part after vulcanization is accomplished by a simple axial thrust on the corolla. An upturned position of the radially deformable skirt makes possible the installation of the rubber tubes and other preparation operations.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1990Date of Patent: October 8, 1991Assignee: Caoutchouc Manufacture et Plastiques S.A.Inventors: Armand Lebarbier, Michel Deschamps

Patent number: 5031545Abstract: A resilient swivel joint for railway cars and the like. The joint has a first connector and a second connector attached to one another by a resilient member. The joint includes a stop that rotates with the second connector to facilitate relative rotational movement between the first and second connectors and limit relative linear movement between the first and second connectors.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1990Date of Patent: July 16, 1991Assignee: Caoutchouc Manufacture et Plastiques, S.A.Inventor: Jacques Bourgeot
-
Patent number: 4993756Abstract: Fitted coupling device, formed by two components, for connection to a flexible tube, having a female component and a male component on which said flexible tube is attached by thermal contraction of an external ring. The coupling device has an elastomer O-ring which is gradually compressed between two facing surfaces, one of which is essentially cylindrical and the other of which is a small-angle cone. The compression takes place during an axial manoeuver causing the rolling without sliding of said O-ring, which executes one or more complete turns on itself.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1989Date of Patent: February 19, 1991Assignee: Caoutchouc Manufacture et Plastiques S.A.Inventor: Jean-Pierre Bechu
