Patent number: 9345998Abstract: In this process, a gas stream containing the oil to be separated is circulated between an inlet zone and an outlet zone, and a calm vacuum zone is created where the oil is recovered and evacuated, after having been captured. According to the invention, the gas stream is passed in contact with a porous media, one face of which is in contact with the calm vacuum zone. The drops of oil are thus captured by the porous media and sucked through this media to arrive in the calm zone. This process is applicable to decanters of oil at impacters and also to cyclone separators, in particular in the automotive field.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: MGI COUTIERInventors: Pascal Guerry, Patrick Barbe

Patent number: 8590660Abstract: The pedal is provided with a safety device, which works so as to release this pedal in the event of the vehicle suffering a frontal impact. The pedal body (2) is mounted on a bracket (4) having two parallel vertical plates (4a, 4b), in which there are arranged parallel holding slots (8a, 8b) through which the pivoting shaft (3) of the pedal passes, the holding slots (8a, 8b) opening onto the rear edge of the plates (4a, 4b) and/or being flared to the rear. A lever (9) is provided which, in the event of an impact, pivots in engagement with the pivoting shaft (3) in order to release it until it emerges completely from the two holding slots (8a, 8b) or is no longer retained by the edges of these slots. The pedal is thus entirely released, that is to say disconnected from its bracket (4), and can then “fall”. This pedal may be a brake pedal or a clutch pedal.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: MGI CoutierInventors: Frédéric Blais, Eric Ferrette, Jacques Guevelbadou
