  • Remote handling device
    Patent number: 6564669
    Abstract: A remote handling device includes a master arm and a slave arm adapted to reproduce the movements of the master arm. The slave arm is located within a confinement chamber. The master arm is located outside the confinement chamber. The master and slave arms are interconnected by a mechanism passing through a wall of the confinement chamber. The master arm is connected by a connection tube to the mechanism. The master arm and the connection tube are connected to coupling and uncoupling means adapted to permit their modular connection or disconnection.

  • Lifting apparatus including a single reel and multiple strap runs
    Patent number: 6109596
    Abstract: A load lifting device of the hoist type, comprises a flat strip 5 arranged to form two hoist runs on opposite sides of a connection member 6 for a load. The two runs of the strip 5 are simultaneously wound up on, or unrolled from, a single reel. A spacing roller 20 forms in the strip 5 a substantially horizontal upper run. This improves the stability of the load by spacing apart the upright runs 21, 22 of the hoist.

  • Handling machine to be suspended from a lifting unit
    Patent number: 5088610
    Abstract: So as to avoid installing a heavy remote handling machine in a containment comprising a lifting unit, such as a travelling crane, the present invention proposes an autonomous remote handling machine (20) suitable for being suspended from the hook (b 16) of this crane. This machine (20) includes a support (22), a gripping arm (24) and a counterweight (26) being joined to said support around a normally horizontal axis (26). A device (44) detects any possible slanting of the support (22) with respect to vertical in order to control any modification of the orientation of the counterweight (26), independently of the orientation of the arm, so as to annul any detected slanting.

  • Heating assembly for heating an area of a thermoplastic pipe
    Patent number: 4455482
    Abstract: Device of thermoplastic material for making a perforation in an underlying element made of a plastics material compatible with the first-mentioned plastics material.It is composed of a plate (1) of relatively slight thickness, in one face (2) of which a spiral groove (3) is formed, at the center of which the plate is provided with an opening (1'), the said spiral groove being intended to receive an electric heating wire (19) of which one end is intended to be attached to a first projection (7) carried by the plate, on the side of the face in which the said groove is formed, while its other end is intended to be attached to a second projection (10) similar to the first and situated a certain distance from the latter.Application to the making of branch pipes.
