  • Patent number: 10852496
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optoelectronic module (M), intended to convert an electrical signal from a main electronic board into an optical signal or vice versa. It comprises integrating, into the optoelectronic module, a device for removably mounting an optical contact element, consisting of a flexible plate the flexibility of which allows it to be moved from an unlocking position in which it permits the passage of the body and of the optical ferrule of the element, to a locking position in which the latter is locked in the casing of the module, once the optical ferrule has been optically coupled to the module. Furthermore, a simple, even manual, pressure allows the plate to be moved from a locking position to an unlocking position that permits the optical element to be removed from the casing of the module.

  • Patent number: 10615539
    Abstract: A connection system with two system elements forming a plug and a receptacle. A locking device including a locking nut mounted free in rotation around the plug or the receptacle, and a locking pin arranged into the locking nut. The locking pin is adapted to be engaged into a locking ramp provided in the receptacle or the plug by relative translation between the plug and the receptacle and rotation of the locking nut to mechanically lock the plug to the receptacle when they are in mutual connection. The arrangement of the locking pin is such that a pull force applied to a sliding part of the locking nut, in a sense opposite to the sense of their mutual connection, disengages the locking pin from the locking ramp, allowing the unlocking of the plug from the receptacle.
