  • Patent number: 10458503
    Abstract: A movable element for a damping system includes an absorbent mass arranged to be positioned in a housing. At least two adapted portions are arranged on a periphery of the absorbent mass. A plurality of elastic elements are arranged in the adapted portions and are designed to bear against an internal wall of the housing. The elastic elements have optimum damping properties in different variation ranges of at least one parameter. The present invention further relates to a damping system.

  • Patent number: 10113608
    Abstract: A movable axial element for a damping system includes a rectilinear absorbent mass positionable in the housing and having at least one annular groove arranged on a periphery of the absorbent mass and in which at least one elastic element is arranged to bear against an internal wall of the housing. The at least one groove includes a base formed by a shoulder of the absorbent mass. An edge formed by a structure bearing an annular lip is mounted in a sliding manner on at least one part of the shoulder along at least one axis of the movable element to form an adjusting device integrated into the movable element to enable the control of a prestressing exerted by the annular lip on the elastic element mounted on the periphery of the absorbent mass, the prestressing being generated without rotation of the annular lip relative to elastic element.

  • Patent number: 10105761
    Abstract: An assembly for tightening and securing includes a first male part and a second female part fitted together, which have complementary forms. The fitting includes at least one contact surface of the first part with the second part. The assembly also includes at least one annular means mounted on the periphery of one of the two parts. The annular means is connected in a translational manner to the part on which the annular means is mounted when the annular means abuts with the part on which the means is mounted, and arranged to interact with a peripheral surface of the complementary part during a rotation of the annular means in relation to the complementary part.

  • Patent number: 9283624
    Abstract: A boring tool on a flange consisting of at least one tool holder and a flange, in which the tool holder is fitted with a means of gripping designed to engage the guiding and clamping assembly of the slide for guiding and holding the fastening flange, which is provided, in addition, with a device for limiting the travel of the tool holder or of the counterweight, or the positioning lug of a tool holder or of a counterweight can be put aside during placement a tool holder or a counterweight and returns automatically into position after this placement and in which each tool holder is fitted with a device for lubricating the cutting edge of the tool, coupled to the means of centralized lubrication of the flange. The tool is more particularly applicable in the field of numerically-controlled machine-tool accessories, tooling centers, cubicles, and flexible workshops.

  • Patent number: 8474831
    Abstract: An axially adjustable tool holder, having a principal body (1)with attachment, in a recess (2) of which is slidably mounted a mobile part (3) for mounting a tool (4). The mobile part (3) cooperates with a ring for transverse adjustment (5), mounted in rotation on the extremity of the principal body (1)with the recess (2) and secured transversely to said extremity, by a ball bearing device (8), in the form of a sleeve with an interior thread (5?). The ball bearing device (8) presenting axial play of the ring for transverse adjustment (5), when the mobile part (3) is tightened, application of the proximal face (51) of the adjustment ring (5)against a corresponding distal external supporting flange (1?) of the principal body (1). The mobile part (3) being locked in working position, after adjustment, by a device for tightening (6) by traction cooperating with a part (7) of the mobile part (3).
