  • Patent number: 6029320
    Abstract: A strand adjusting mechanism (5) in a folding clasp (1, 2) for bacelets, this mechanism comprising a buckle (40) mounted pivotally round a transverse rotational shaft (20) at the end of one of the blades (1) of the clasp and a tongue (30) mounted pivotally round the same shaft (20) as the buckle. The tongue and/or the end of the blade have one or more stops (16, 34) limiting the rotation of this tongue between a raised position orthogonal to the end of the blade and a lowered position in the extension of the blade. In addition, the upper cross bar of the buckle has a subjacent front wall (46) capable of abutting against the free end of the tongue.

  • Patent number: 5580072
    Abstract: A vehicle for carrying an object or an individual includes an underframe with a rolling device, and a carriage supported by the underframe. The carriage is made up of at least one reinforcement and a flexible covering matched to the developed surface of the reinforcement, covering and fixed to the reinforcement. The reinforcement includes a central framework generally having the shape of a trough, made up of two flanks on either side of a base, a flat bottom, the middle part of which is adapted to be gripped between the two flanks of the central framework, which rests flat on a base, and a hoop. The hoop is matched to the contour of the flat bottom and two middle parts that are separated from one another by a distance that is compatible with the separation of the two flanks of the central framework.

  • Patent number: 5137276
    Abstract: A player for a table football machine has two elements, one of which includes the torso and the head and the other of which includes the lower body and the legs of the player, each of the elements being of a length slightly greater than a part of the player it represents to allow for some overlapping upon assembly. The elements are arranged in order to be assembled to one another by partial nesting and wedging and/or snapping, totally enclosing a rod on which the elements are fixed. One of these elements has a male assembly end and the other has a female assembly end. Each player is rigidly connected in rotation and axially with the rod on which the player is mounted. Each element of a player has, at its end for assemblying with the other, a notch whose substantially semicylindrical base has a radius substantially equal to the outer radius of the rod. The element which possesses a male assembly end has, in the semicylindrical base of its notch, a radial stud.
