Abstract: The brush holder for an electric machine, which may be either a motor or a generator, and comprises a stator and a rotor provided with a collector ring against which there bears at least one electrically conductive carbon brush, in a housing of the brush holder orientated substantially radially in the stator of the machine. Elastic are between the brush and a bearing surface formed by the end plate of the brush holder housing, said elastic being capable of pressing the brush against the collector ring. The bearing surface for the elastic is situated radially outwardly of the stator beyond the internal surface of the peripheral wall of the electrical machine.

Abstract: The device comprises automatic unlocking means for a fastening member connected to the belt and actuating means for the unlocking which are sensitive to a parameter of the state of a movable structure in which the safety belt is installed. The automatic unlocking means comprise means for automatically exerting a force against elastic means on a triggering device. The means for automatically exerting a force comprise a metallic element capable of exerting a force when heated, and heating means for this metallic element.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, the armature (17) of the windscreen wiper blade is caused to rotate in an alternating manner by a blade support arm (1) by means of a rocker arm (6) articulated on the arm (1) and on a rocker arm control member (16) which is displaced with respect to the arm (1). The armature (17) is connected to the rocker arm (6) by means of an adapter (24) which is mounted in a detachable manner on the armature (17) by resilient locking and on which the rocker arm (6) is pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation (11) disposed below the armature (17) with respect to the pivoting axis (7) of the rocker arm (6) on the arm (1). To be used to equip automobile vehicles.

Abstract: In a process and apparatus for regulating the temperature of coolant in an internal combustion engine, a three way valve controls the relative quantity of coolant flowing through a radiator, and a by-pass line bypassing the radiator. The valve responds both to the absolute temperatures of the coolant in the by-pass line leaving the engine and the line leaving the radiator to adjust the relative flow through the lines. A control system monitors the temperature of the coolant leaving and entering the engine and controls the pump and fan speeds in the normal manner.
