Abstract: A fluidic connection device for a fluid circuit of a motor vehicle includes a female fluidic connector, a U-shaped lock, and a locking indicator. The female fluidic connector includes a housing configured to receive a male fluidic connector, by translation along an axis (A). The U-shaped lock is carried by the female connector and includes a pair of elastically deformable legs that arranged substantially in a first plane, perpendicular to the axis (A) and on either side of the axis (A) and being configured to cooperate by elastic snap-fitting with the male connector to ensure retention of the male connector in the female connector along the axis (A). The locking indicator is carried by the female connector and configured to be translated in a second plane, perpendicular to the axis (A), between a first position for releasing the locking indicator and a second position for locking the locking indicator.

Abstract: An apparatus for opening a severed bovine or ovine head has a base provided with a pair of upwardly directed and parallel base blades spaced to support the head. A vertical displaceable guillotine blade is directed downwardly toward the base blades and has a downwardly concave central portion and a pair of side portions flanking the central portion and each having a vertical upper region terminating at the central portion and a lower region extending downwardly from the upper region laterally away from the other side portion. Thus the side portions and the central portion form a downwardly open outwardly flaring U adapted to embrace and split the skull of a head resting on the base blades. This machine enables the rear end of the skull to be removed for subsequent removal of a perfectly intact brain.
